Abstract Adverse medical conditions can involve present and expected future restrictions as a double burden: mechanically ventilated patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), on the one hand, face pain communication restrictions. On other they are confronted significant changes in their life perspective. While past research emotion appraisals has studied SCI alone or comparison healthy controls, current work disentangles potential impact of (a) adverse state (b) by comparing intensive care...
Abstract Purpose To analyze the feasibility of eye‐tracking (ET) devices as a communicative approach to basic needs (BN) intensive care unit (ICU) and invasively ventilated nonverbal patients. Methods Prospective, monocentric, observational study including all patients without delirium, with an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy tube, history invasive ventilation for more than 48 h, inadequate communication skills. The investigation was performed commercially available ET (Tobii Dynavox...
Abstract Background The evaluation of pain in patients, unable oral communication, often relies on behavioral assessment. However, some critically ill while non-verbal, are awake and have potential for self-reporting. objective was to compare the results a assessment with self-reporting awake, patients use low-tech augmentative alternative communication tools. Methods Prospective cohort study intubated or tracheotomized adult, ventilated RASS (Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale) -1 + 1...
Eye-tracking (ET) may be a novel tool for communication with intubated and mechanically ventilated critically ill patients. We hypothesized that ET could learned fast used successfully by intensive care unit (ICU) intermediate (IMC) patients artificial airways communication.Including all mechanical ventilation via oral intubation or tracheostomy, who were at least 18 years of age score -1 to +1 points on the Richmond agitation-sedation scale history more than 48 h. A commercially available...
Eye tracking (ET) may be a novel tool to enable nonverbal communication. We hypothesized that ET could used successfully by intensive care unit (ICU) patients with artificial airways express their levels of pain and mood, quality life, self-esteem predefined scales scores.Prospective, monocentric, observational study, including an endotracheal tube or tracheostomy history mechanical ventilation for more than 48 hours without delirium, inadequate communication skills. The ICU patients' was...
Abstract Purpose Little attention has been given to understanding the experiences and perceptions of tracheostomized patients. This study aimed measure impact tracheostomy on well-being in critically ill patients with development Tracheostomy Well-Being Score (TWBS). Methods is a prospective, monocentric, observational including without delirium. A 25-item questionnaire items from six categories (respiration, coughing, pain, speaking, swallowing, comfort) was used select 12 best (two per...
Samples with analyte concentrations outside a method's dynamic range are reality of clinical chemistry and particularly interest in method comparison studies. The most obvious remedy—to ignore any such values—introduces bias loses the information that censored data might add to analysis. Extending conventional errors-in-variables methods incorporate value-censored recovers this information. formulation presented uses variance model more flexible than either constant or coefficient variation...
Abstract Background Although the use of vasopressors to maintain haemodynamic goals after acute spinal cord injury (SCI) is still recommended, evidence regarding target values and possible risks this practice limited, data on parameters unaffected by catecholamines are rare. In pilot study, we show profile patients with SCI mainly vasopressor other factors that influence cardiovascular system. Methods From March 2018 2020, conducted a prospective, single-centre study 30 SCI. Factors could...
Abstract Background: Although the use of vasopressors to maintain hemodynamic goals after acute spinal cord injury (SCI) is still recommended, evidence regarding target values and possible risks this practice limited data on parameters unaffected by catecholamines are rare. In pilot study we show profile patients with SCI mainly unbiased vasopressor other factors that influence cardiovascular system. Methods: From March 2018 until 2020, conducted a prospective, single-center including 30...
