Abstract Background Machine learning algorithms have recently been developed to enable the automatic and real-time echocardiographic assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) not evaluated in critically ill patients. Methods Real-time LVEF was prospectively measured 95 ICU patients with a machine algorithm installed on cart-based ultrasound system. measurements taken by novices (LVEF Nov ) experts Exp were compared reference Ref manually echo experts. Results ranged from 26 80%...
Quantitative approaches to improve lung ultrasound (LUS) vertical artifacts (VA) interpretation using total signal intensity (ITOT) are not widely available for clinical practice. In this study, we aimed i) develop a mathematical algorithm extract ITOT as post-hoc LUS analysis and ii) confirm utility by conducting laboratory VA research an in vitro model with different acoustic channels. The was extracted from static conventional imaging recorded models after varying the amount of water...
Hyponatraemia is the most prevalent electrolyte disorder in neurocritical care setting and associated with a significant morbimortality. Cerebral salt wasting inappropriate antidiuretic hormone secretion syndrome have been classically described as two frequent entities responsible for hyponatraemia patients. An accurate aetiological diagnosis of hypotonic requires proper volume status assessment. Nevertheless, determination based on physical examination, laboratory findings imaging...
The aim of the work described here was to analyze relationship between change in ultrasound (US) settings and vertical artifacts' number, visual rating signal intensity METHODS: An vitro phantom consisting a damp sponge gelatin mix created simulate artifacts. Furthermore, several US parameters were changed sequentially (i.e., frequency, dynamic range, line density, gain, power image enhancement) after acquisition. Five experts rated artifacts for number quality. In addition, artifact score...
The number of vertical artefacts (VAs) in lung ultrasound (LUS) impacts patients' clinical management. This study aimed to demonstrate the influence settings on VAs patients under invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV). Patients IMV were recruited for LUS, including three breathing cycles with a motionless curvilinear probe thoracic region most VAs. Three experts LUS asked about at random, and blinded after altering total 20 test recordings per patient. correlation between expert...
SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with multiple cardiac manifestations. Left atrial strain (LA-S) by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) a novel transthoracic (TTE) measure of LA myocardial deformation and diastolic dysfunction, which could lead to early recognition injury in severe COVID-19 patients possible implications on clinical management, organ mortality. Cardiac may occur direct viral cytopathic effects or virus-driven immune activation, resulting heart infiltration inflammatory...
Background: We aimed to explore immune parameters in COVID-19 patients admitted the intensive care unit (ICU) identify distinctive features with cardiac injury. Methods: A total of 30 >18 years ICU were studied on days D1, D3 and D7 after admission. Cardiac function was assessed using speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE). Peripheral blood immunophenotyping, (pro-BNP; troponin) inflammatory biomarkers simultaneously evaluated. Results: dysfunction (DYS) detected by STE 73% patients: 40%...
Lung and diaphragm ultrasound in noninvasive respiratory support: A real tool or fashion?Introduction: Over the past few years, there has been an increase lung applications as a to evaluate outcomes settings of supports.However, actual clinical practices this field are yet be known.The aim study was investigate current utilization for supports on international level. Materials Methods:The employed online survey consisting 32 items, which sent via email intensivists, pulmonologists, emergency...
