Importance Blood transfusions are commonly administered to patients with acute brain injury. The optimal hemoglobin transfusion threshold is uncertain in this patient population. Objective To assess the impact on neurological outcome of 2 different thresholds guide red blood cell Design, Setting, and Participants Multicenter, phase 3, parallel-group, investigator-initiated, pragmatic, open-label randomized clinical trial conducted 72 intensive care units across 22 countries. Eligible had...
Purpose To examine the effectiveness of hyperthermic intravesical chemotherapy (HIVEC™) with mitomycin-C (MMC) for patients intermediate–high-risk non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). Materials and methods From November 2010 to April 2015, 40 NMIBC received HIVEC™ treatment a Combat BRS system. Of these patients, 24 neoadjuvant (eight weekly instillations) before transurethral resection (TURBT) 16 adjuvant post-TURBT (four instillations + six monthly). The pathological response each...
To compare the classification performance of Revised Atlanta Classification, Determinant-Based and a new modified Classification according to observed mortality morbidity.A prospective multicenter observational study conducted in 1-year period.Forty-six international ICUs (Epidemiology Acute Pancreatitis Intensive Care Medicine study).Admitted an ICU with acute pancreatitis at least one organ failure.Modified included four categories: In group 1, patients transient failure without local...
Purpose: Ths paper reports a pilot/feasibility trial of neoadjuvant hyperthermic intravesical chemotherapy (HIVEC) prior to transurethral resection bladder tumour (TURBT) for non-muscle invasive cancer (NMIBC). Materials and methods: A clinical was performed 15 patients with intermediate high-risk NMIBC received HIVEC TURBT. consisting eight weekly instillations MMC (80 mg in 50 mL) delivered the novel Combat BRS® system at temperature 43 °C 60 min. Treatment-related adverse effects were...
The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH) and severity acute pancreatitis (AP) measured by revised Atlanta classification (RAC) determinant-based (DBC). Secondary objectives were assess IAH as a predictor morbidity mortality in ICU. This prospective international observational included patients admitted ICU with AP at least one organ failure. Information collected on demographics, scores admission using RAC DBC, failure, mechanical...
The optimal hemoglobin (Hb) threshold to trigger red blood cell transfusions (RBCT) in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) patients is unclear. This study evaluated the impact of liberal versus restrictive transfusion strategies on neurological outcome with SAH. a pre-planned secondary analysis "TRansfusion Strategies Acute brain INjured Patients" (TRAIN) study. We included all SAH from original that were randomized receive RBCT when Hb levels dropped below 9 g/dL (liberal group) or 7 (restrictive...
Anemia is common in critically ill patients; almost 95% of patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) have hemoglobin levels below normal. Several causes may explain this phenomenon as well the tendency transfuse without adequate cause: due a lack adherence protocols, supervision, incomplete transfusion request forms, or knowledge about indications, risks, and costs transfusions. Daily sampling monitor coagulation parameters acid-base balance can aggravate anemia main iatrogenic factor...
Abstract BACKGROUND . Severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia has brought intensive care units (ICUs) and the consequences of prolonged hospitalisation, such as dysphagia, into focus. METHODS Study population : Patients with severe due to who required admission critical from March June 2020. Dysphagia diagnostic method Modified Viscosity Volume Swallowing Test (mV-VST). Objectives To identify risk factors for dysphagia in patients requiring invasive mechanical ventilation determine their incidence....
Aspiration and dysphagia are frequent in critically ill patients, evidence of the validity bedside screening tests is lacking. This study evaluated modified Volume-Viscosity Swallow Test (mV-VST) as a tool for aspiration intensive care unit patients.An observational, prospective longitudinal cohort single-center included patients older than 18 years old, on mechanical ventilation at least 48 h, conscious cooperative. Patients had been admitted between March 2016 August 2019 university...
Augmented renal clearance (ARC) is a phenomenon that can lead to therapeutic failure of those drugs clearance. The purpose the study was ascertain prevalence ARC in critically ill patient, glomerular filtration rate (GFR) throughout follow-up and analyze concordance between Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration (CKD-EPI) estimation formula measured GFR. Observational, prospective, multicenter study. defined as creatinine greater than 130 ml/min/1.73 m 2 . Eighteen hospitals were...
