Abstract Nowadays, patients' safety is the top priority for medical services around world. However, it believed that many of adverse events in hospitals are preventable. Type and screen (T&S) procedures require intense practical training by each practitioner hospital. This study applied an interactive Virtual Reality (VR) technology to supplement traditional approach facilitate procedural training. The VR system made use Unity3D application development. To investigate reliability...
Objectives Despite growing recognition of the importance speaking up to protect patient safety in critical care, little research has been performed this area an intensive care unit (ICU) context. This study explored communication openness perceptions Chinese doctors and nurses identified their issues ICU communication, reasons for possible factors strategies involved promoting practice up. Design A mixed-methods design with quantitative sequential qualitative components was used. Setting...
Early randomized controlled trials have demonstrated the benefits of tight glucose control. Subsequent NICE-SUGAR study found that control increased mortality. The optimal target in diabetic and nondiabetic patients remains unclear. This aimed to evaluate relationship between blood levels outcomes critically ill with or without diabetes.This was a retrospective analysis eICU database. Repeat ICU stays, stays less than 2 days, transferred from other ICUs, those measurements, missing data on...
Intravenous fluid is important for resuscitation and maintenance of circuit flow in patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, but overload widely recognized as detrimental critically ill patients. This study aimed to evaluate the association between positive balance outcomes adult treated oxygenation.This was a retrospective observational tertiary hospital from October 2010 January 2018. Patients aged ≥18 years who received oxygenation ≥48 h were included. The determined difference...
Purpose: Use of anticoagulation in patients on ECMO, especially Chinese, has always been difficult. This study aimed to review the incidence bleeding, thrombosis, and transfusion requirement Chinese ECMO identify risk factors for bleeding complications. Materials Methods: was a retrospective observational tertiary hospital from 2010 2018. Patients aged ⩾18 years who received were included. The primary outcome bleeding. Secondary outcomes included ICU mortality, length stay. Results: Of 130...
Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a form of mechanical circulatory support for patients with refractory decompensated heart failure. Blood drawn from large vein and pumped back to artery, usually femoral artery through bore catheters. When the recovers, can be terminated catheters are decannulated. The bleeding at venous side controlled by prolonged compression; however, arteriotomy wound needs repaired. Conventionally, wounds require open vascular repair in operating...
Current therapies for severe COVID-19, such as steroids and immunomodulators are associated with various side effects. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) has emerged a potential adjunctive therapy minimal effects patients cytokine storm due to COVID-19. However, evidence supporting high-dose intravenous NAC in COVID-19 pneumonia requiring mechanical ventilation is limited.
Abstract Background: Researchers have long been struggling to improve the disease severity score in mortality prediction ICU. The digitalization of medical health records and advancement computation power promoted use machine learning critical care. This study aimed develop an interpretable model using datasets from multicenters, compare with APACHE IV, predicting hospital patients admitted Method: were assembled eICU database including 136145 across 208 hospitals throughout U.S. 5 ICUs Hong...
Background: A detailed echo with Doppler assessment provides important information on top of structural evaluation and eyeballing myocardium contractility by focused echocardiography, which has been widely practised in the intensive care unit. The added value echocardiography critically-ill patients was studied.
: Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) is the initiation of veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) during resuscitation. As a clinical emergency, ECPR often initiated with limited background information, especially for those out hospital cardiac arrest. The underlying cause arrest revealed after VA-ECMO established. If original culprit turns to be aortic dissection, in which peripheral relatively contra-indicated, first question answer whether arterial...
