Abstract Background The failure of sutures to maintain tissue in apposition is well characterized hernia repairs. A mesh suture designed facilitate integration into and around the filaments may improve hold decrease pull-through. Methods In vitro, were compared for resistance pull-through ballistics gel. vivo, closure midline laparotomy incisions was done with both 11 female pigs. Tissue segments subsequently subjected mechanical histological testing. Results had tensile characteristics...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> When deciding whether mechanical ventilation is indicated, physicians integrate their findings on physical examination in a gestalt known as respiratory distress. Despite its importance, this poorly understood. This study aims to describe the association between rating of severity distress and vital signs, illness, use ventilation, death. A prospective observational with 1,134 consecutive subjects uncertain triage evaluated by critical care consult team was carried out...
Background The assessment of the work breathing in definitions respiratory failure is vague and variable. Objective Identify a parsimonious set signs to describe hypoxemic, acutely ill patients. Methods We examined consecutive medical ICU patients receiving oxygen with mask, non-invasive ventilation, or T-piece. A physician inspected each patient for 10 seconds, rated level distress, then vital 17 other physical signs. used rating distress as surrogate measuring breathing, constructed three...
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> Mortality increases when extubations fail. Although predictors of extubation failure have been evaluated, physicians9 reasoning to extubate a patient has received minimal attention. We hypothesized that the accuracy and reliability decisions are low. <h3>METHODS:</h3> sent surveys 55 physicians in divisions pulmonary critical care medicine 3 teaching hospitals Chicago, Illinois. The survey comprised 32 clinical vignettes real patients who were extubated after they...
Polysomnograms are not always feasible when sleep disordered breathing (SDB) is suspected in hospitalized patients. Portable monitoring a practical alternative; however, it has been recommended patients with comorbidities.
<h3>BACKGROUND:</h3> To increase the understanding of self-extubation phenomena, we assessed its rate in our medical ICU and aimed to identify risk factors for re-intubation. <h3>METHODS:</h3> We prospectively identified subjects who self-extubated. Their baseline characteristics, including Richmond Agitation Severity Scale score, reason intubation, shift, distance endotracheal tube tip carina, outcomes were collected retrospectively. For every subject self-extubated, a control was selected...
