Importance Helmet noninvasive ventilation has been used in patients with COVID-19 the premise that helmet interface is more effective than mask delivering prolonged treatments high positive airway pressure, but data about its effectiveness are limited. Objective To evaluate whether compared usual respiratory support reduces mortality acute hypoxemic failure due to pneumonia. Design, Setting, and Participants This was a multicenter, pragmatic, randomized clinical trial conducted 8 sites Saudi...
The optimal amount and timing of protein intake in critically ill patients are unknown. REPLENISH (Replacing Protein via Enteral Nutrition a Stepwise Approach Critically Ill Patients) trial evaluates whether supplemental enteral added to standard nutrition achieve high given from ICU day five until discharge or 90 as compared no moderate would reduce all-cause 90-day mortality adult mechanically ventilated patients.
BACKGROUND Psychological assessment after intensive care unit (ICU) discharge is increasingly used to assess patients' cognitive and psychological well-being. However, few studies have examined those who recovered from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). There a paucity of data the Middle East assessing post-ICU mental health status patients had COVID-19. AIM To evaluate anxiety depression among severe METHODS This prospective single-center follow-up questionnaire-based study adults were...
Abstract Background Protein intake is recommended in critically ill patients to mitigate the negative effects of critical illness-induced catabolism and muscle wasting. However, optimal dose enteral protein remains unknown. We hypothesize that supplemental (1.2 g/kg/day) added standard nutrition formula achieve high amount (range 2–2.4 given from ICU day 5 until discharge or 90 as compared no moderate (0.8–1.2 would reduce all-cause 90-day mortality adult mechanically ventilated patients....
Acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE-II) scoring system is used to classify disease severity of patients in the intensive care unit. However, several limitations render inadequate identifying risk factors associated with outcomes. Little known about association platelet count patterns, timing other hematologic parameters predicting mortality sepsis.This retrospective observational study included 205 septic shock patients, an overall 47.8%, enrolled at a tertiary hospital...
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a well-known cause of bronchiolitis in children, can community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) adults, but this condition is not well studied. Hence, we described the characteristics and outcomes patients hospitalized for CAP due to RSV.This was retrospective study admitted tertiary-care hospital between 2016 2019 with RSV diagnosed by respiratory multiplex PCR within 48 hours admission. We compared who required ICU admission those did not.Eighty adult were...
The rapid increase in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) cases during the subsequent waves Saudi Arabia and other countries prompted Critical Care Society (SCCS) to put together a panel of experts issue evidence-based recommendations for management COVID-19 intensive care unit (ICU).The SCCS included 51 with expertise critical care, respirology, infectious disease, epidemiology, emergency medicine, clinical pharmacy, nursing, respiratory therapy, methodology, health policy. All members...
Abstract Background Noninvasive respiratory support is frequently needed for patients with acute hypoxemic failure due to coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19). Helmet noninvasive ventilation has multiple advantages over other oxygen modalities but data about effectiveness are limited. Methods In this multicenter randomized trial of helmet COVID-19 patients, 320 adult ICU (aged ≥14 years or as per local standards) suspected confirmed and (ratio arterial partial pressure fraction inspired <...
Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is one of the most commonly performed laparoscopic procedures.Many problems occur during cholecystectomies like common bile duct injury, hemorrhage, and other complications.Some authors consider male gender as a risk factor for conversion rate.Aims: To determine effect on outcome Chronic Cholecystitis.Methods: A retrospective clinical trial was carried out at our Hospital to investigate predictor difficult cholecystectomy.All operations were done...
Human rhinovirus (HRV) can lead to a variety of respiratory illnesses; it is also an uncommon cause community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). We described the characteristics and outcomes patients hospitalized for CAP due HRV.We retrospectively studied consecutive adult admitted King Abdulaziz Medical City-Riyadh with HRV between 2016 2019. The diagnosis was made by multiplex PCR within 48 hours hospitalization. compared requiring ICU admission those who did not.One-hundred-and-six were (peak...
Introduction Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) delivered by helmet has been used for respiratory support of patients with acute hypoxaemic failure due to COVID-19 pneumonia. The aim this study was compare NIV usual care versus alone reduce mortality. Methods and analysis This is a multicentre, pragmatic, parallel randomised controlled trial that compares in 1:1 ratio. A total 320 will be enrolled study. primary outcome 28-day all-cause compared between the two groups intention-to-treat...
Critically ill COVID-19 patients are at increased risk of thrombosis with an enhanced bleeding. We aimed to explore the role anti-factor Xa levels in optimizing high-intensity anticoagulation's safety and efficacy finding possible associations between D-dimer levels, cytokine storm markers, COVID-19-induced coagulopathy or thrombophilia.Retrospective cohort study conducted on 69 critically who received three regimens higher intensity anticoagulation.Seventeen (24.6%) high-dose enoxaparin...
Abstract We conducted the current analysis to determine potential role of polio vaccination in context spread COVID-19. Data were extracted from World Health Organization’s (WHO) Global Observatory data repository regarding immunization coverage estimates and correlated overall morbidity mortality for COVID-19 among different countries. analyzed using R software version 4.0.2. Mean standard deviation used represent continuous variables while we frequencies percentages categorical variables....
Background This comparative study evaluates the performance of medical/surgical and mixed intensive care units (ICUs) at a tertiary university hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, using key indicators (KPIs). Since its establishment 1982, has provided comprehensive medical services, including specialized, closed-model ICUs, medical, surgical, pediatric ICUs. In 2021, these ICUs transitioned to ICU model enhance efficiency patient care. aims assess impact this transition on various KPIs,...
Cyanide is one of the most rapidly acting poisons and accounts for many suicidal homicidal deaths. Some natural products such as silk wool can release cyanide when burned. Most patients who survive poisoning experience neurological sequelae. This report describes case a healthy 45-year-old Yemeni woman was present during burning furniture in closed space her home. Upon admission, she displayed signs inhalational injury, black discoloration around mouth nostrils, first-degree burn on left...
Background: To study the efficacy of current post-extubation pharmacologic treatments for postoperative sore throat (POST) prevention. Method: We searched nine databases randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing in POST A network meta-analysis was used to pool results. Results: Of 124 records screened, we included 13 studies with 1820 patients. Ketorolac tromethamine found be most effective lowest rates (P-score = 0.99), followed by ketamine 0.68), amyl-m-cresol 0.67), flurbiprofen...
Background Patients increasingly express the desire to be involved in their treatment decisions, especially critical situations, such as cancer chemotherapy that increase a doctor's responsibility toward fulfilling these needs. This process may require more than one meeting with patient meet expectations and satisfaction levels. study aimed assess levels patients, who received chemotherapy, about decision-making if they were able make this decision during first physicians.
