Study Objective: To determine the effect of an outpatient program designed to reduce readmissions for asthma exacerbations among adults with asthma. Design: Randomized patient selection crossover. Setting: Bellevue Hospital, New York City, York. Patients: We identified 104 adult asthmatics who had previously required multiple hospitalizations attacks. Forty-seven patients were randomly assigned intensive treatment clinic and 57 continued receive their previous care. Nineteen from this latter...
We analyzed 385 consecutive central venous catheter (CVC) attempts over a 6-month period. All critically ill patients 18 years of age or older requiring CVC were included. The rate mechanical complications not including failure to place was 14%. Complications included the (n = 86), arterial puncture 18), improper position 14), pneumothorax 5 in 258 subclavian and internal jugular attempts), hematoma 3), hemothorax 1), asystolic cardiac arrest unknown etiology 1). Male had significantly...
BACKGROUND Central venous access is commonly performed to administer vasoactive medication. The administration of medication via peripheral intravenous a potential method reducing the need for central access. aim this study was evaluate safety administered through METHODS Over 20‐month period starting in September 2012, we monitored use an 18‐bed medical intensive care unit. Norepinephrine, dopamine, and phenylephrine were all approved RESULTS A total 734 patients (age 72 ± 15 years,...
RATIONALE: Critical care ultrasonography (CCUS) is rapidly evolving with new evidence being published since the prior 2016 guideline. OBJECTIVES: To identify and assess best regarding clinical outcomes associated five CCUS applications in adult patients publication of previous guidelines. PANEL DESIGN: An interprofessional, multidisciplinary, diverse expert panel 36 individuals including two patient/family representatives was assembled via an intentional approach. Conflict-of-interest...
Objectives: Patient simulation is emerging as a training technique in the field of medicine. It has particular application responses to high-risk, low-frequency clinical events, which typical example in-hospital cardiac arrest. A critical element response by arrest team initial airway management. In teaching hospitals, medical interns are first responders arrests. Our objective was design and test program using computer-controlled patient simulator train demonstrate their competence Design:...
The video laryngoscope (VL) has been shown to improve laryngoscopic views and first-attempt success rates in elective operating room simulated tracheal intubations compared with the direct (DL). However, there are limited data on effectiveness of VL DL urgent endotracheal (UEIs) critically ill. We assessed using a as primary intubating device during UEI ill patients when performed by less experienced operators.We UEIs Pulmonary Critical Care Medicine (PCCM) fellows medical intensive care...
Rationale: A molecular test to distinguish between sepsis and systemic inflammation of noninfectious etiology could potentially have clinical utility.Objectives: This study evaluated the diagnostic performance a host response assay (SeptiCyte LAB) designed in critically ill adults.Methods: The employed prospective, observational, noninterventional design recruited heterogeneous cohort adult critical care patients from seven sites United States (n = 249). An additional group 198 patients,...
Objective: To assess the results of a quality improvement (QI) project designed to improve safety emergency endotracheal intubation (EEI). Design: Single center prospective observational. Setting: 16-bed intensive care unit. Participants: Nine pulmonary/critical fellows. Interventions: For 3 years, EEI performed by medical unit team were analyzed identify interventions that would procedure. By segmental process analysis, procedure was subjected iterative change. Major components development...
Background: To compare the complication rates of urgent endotracheal intubation (UEI) performed by pulmonary critical care medicine (PCCM) fellows and attending intensivists using a direct laryngoscope (DL) versus video (VL) in medical intensive unit (MICU). Methods: We studied all UEIs from November 2008 through July 2012 an 18-bed MICU university-affiliated hospital. All were 15 PCCM or only DL February 2010 VL March to 2012. Throughout entire study period, UEI team leader recorded...
