Abstract
Splanchnic blood flow is impaired in sepsis [1]. Therefore, beta-adrenergic agents are frequently administered in sepsis to increase global oxygen delivery in an attempt to increase splanchnic blood flow as well. However, changes in microcirculation can not be predicted by changes in systemic blood flow [2] and the effects of beta-adrenergic drugs on the splanchnic and gut mucosal circulation in sepsis is still not well understood. The aim of this study was to measure the effects of dopexamine and dobutamine, on systemic flow, regional flow and microcirculatory blood flow in the intestinal mucosa in septic shock.
Highlights
In our experience, very often, even with a nonrebreathing mask (NRM), high oxygen delivery to patient with the existent materials is insufficient
In patients with a relative drop in Pitot tube flowmeter (PT) of ten or more percent between day 1 and 3 mortality was significantly higher than in patients with a lower or no decrease irrespective of absolute PT values

Summary
Very often, even with a nonrebreathing mask (NRM), high oxygen delivery to patient with the existent materials is insufficient. There is evidence that increasing the dose of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) is associated with improved survival in critically ill patients with acute renal failure (ARF) [1]. The aim of this study is to investigate if there is any difference in patients’ characteristics in ICU between COPD and nonCOPD diseases caused chronic respiratory failure and require mechanical ventilation during acute exacerbations. Noninvasive positive pressure ventilation (NPPV) has been reported to be beneficial in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and to facilitate weaning In this trial we assessed the possible benefit of early NPPV in patients with blunt chest trauma and acute respiratory failure. The aim of this study was to compare the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic parameters and the clinical efficacy of a continuous infusion of cefepime versus an intermittent regimen in critically ill adults patients with gram negative bacilli infection. The purpose of the study is to identify the factors associated with DNR status in our institution
