Since September 2012, 170 confirmed infections with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) have been reported to the World Health Organization, including 72 deaths. Data on critically ill patients MERS-CoV infection are limited.To describe critical illness associated MERS-CoV.Case series.3 intensive care units (ICUs) at 2 tertiary hospitals in Saudi Arabia.12 or probable infection.Presenting symptoms, comorbid conditions, pulmonary and extrapulmonary manifestations, measures...

Whether adjunctive intermittent pneumatic compression in critically ill patients receiving pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis would result a lower incidence of deep-vein thrombosis than alone is uncertain.
Abstract Background This study assessed the mobility levels among critically ill patients and association of early with incident proximal lower-limb deep-vein thrombosis 90-day mortality. Methods was a post hoc analysis multicenter PREVENT trial, which evaluated adjunctive intermittent pneumatic compression in receiving pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis an expected ICU stay ≥ 72 h found no effect on primary outcome thrombosis. Mobility were documented daily up to day 28 using tool 8-point...
Introduction . Deescalation refers to either discontinuation or a step-down of antimicrobials. Despite strong recommendations in the Surviving Sepsis Guidelines (2012) deescalate, actual practices can vary. Our objective was identify variables that are associated with deescalation failure. Methods In this prospective study patients sepsis/septic shock, were categorized into 4 groups based on antibiotic administration: no change antibiotics, , escalation (where antibiotics changed those...
Over the past decade, there have been major improvements to care of mechanically ventilated patients (MVPs). Earlier initiatives used concept ventilator bundles (sets interventions), with a primary focus on reducing ventilator-associated pneumonia. However, recent evidence has led more comprehensive approach: The ABCDE bundle (Awakening and Breathing trial Coordination, Delirium management Early mobilization). approach Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP) was developed by patient...
The Pneumatic CompREssion for Preventing VENous Thromboembolism (PREVENT) trial evaluates the effect of adjunctive intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) with pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis compared to alone on venous thromboembolism (VTE) in critically ill adults. In this multicenter randomized trial, patients receiving will be an IPC or a no (control) group. primary outcome is "incident" proximal lower-extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) within 28 days after randomization....
Abstract There are contradictory data regarding the effect of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) on incidence deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and heart failure (HF) decompensation in critically ill patients. This study evaluated adjunctive use IPC rate incident DVT ventilation-free days among patients with HF. In this pre-specified secondary analysis PREVENT trial (N = 2003), we compared added to pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis (IPC group), alone (control group) The presence HF was...
Objective: Surveillance ultrasounds in critically ill patients detect many deep venous thrombi (DVTs) that would otherwise go unnoticed. However, the impact of surveillance for DVT on mortality among remains unclear. Design: We are conducting a multicenter, multinational randomized controlled trial examines effectiveness adjunct intermittent pneumatic compression use with pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis compared to alone incidence proximal lower extremity (the PREVENT trial). Enrolled...
Determination of a patient’s volume status remains challenging. Ultrasound assessments the inferior vena cava and lung parenchyma have been shown to reflect fluid when compared more traditional static dynamic methods. Yet, resource-limited intensive care units (ICUs) may still not access bedside ultrasound. The vascular pedicle width (VPW) measured on chest radiographs underutilized for assessment. In this study, we aimed determine correlation between ultrasound assessment identify...
Percent fluid overload greater than 5% is associated with increased mortality. The appropriate time for deresuscitation depends on the patient's radiological and clinical findings. This study aimed to assess applicability of percent calculations evaluating need in critically ill patients.This was a single-center, prospective, observational adult patients requiring intravenous administration. study's primary outcome median accumulation day or intensive care unit (ICU) discharge, whichever...

Abstract Background: Positive fluid balance (FB) was reported in up to 40% of patients admitted the ICU. Many studies found that positive FB is associated with increased mortality. The appropriate time for de-resuscitation (DER) controversial. This study aims evaluate association between percent overload calculation and need among critically ill adult patients. Methods: A Prospective observational conducted at a single-center tertiary care hospital. included requiring intravenous...
