Summary
To assess cerebral hemodynamics in an experimental sepsis model. Healthy bowel function is an important factor when judging the advisability of early enteral nutrition in critically ill patients, Methods The study was a prospective, observational pilot study conducted in our hospital. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the ICU costs, in a private hospital, in patients admitted with severe sepsis and septic shock. We investigated the diagnostic and prognostic value of initial lactate and procalcitonin levels and their kinetics within the ICU stay for prediction of positive blood cultures and fatal outcome in a well characterized cohort of sepsis patients in a US critical care setting. Sepsis is the main cause of admission to the ICU and is associated with elevated mortality rates and healthcare costs In this population, specific factors such as poor functional status and immunosuppression secondary to malignancy and/or antineoplastic treatment contribute to decreased survival.
