Abstract

Early signs of critical illness polyneuropathy in porcine sepsis

Highlights

  • Activation of the HPA axis occurs in order to control potentially deleterious effects of systemic inflammation during sepsis

  • Arterial blood gases (ABGs) are the immediate, easiest, most reliable and cost effective bedside method of assessing an unstable patient. It portrays an array of functional reserves from the lungs to the kidneys and the blood cells in between

  • We sought to compare differences in mortality and length of stay (LOS) between lactic acidosis (LA) and other forms of metabolic acidoses. In this observational pilot study, we reviewed records of 9799 patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) at our institution between 1 January 2001 and 30 June 2002

Summary

Introduction

Activation of the HPA axis occurs in order to control potentially deleterious effects of systemic inflammation during sepsis. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effects of PEEP on intrathoracic blood volumes and cardiac function measured by the COLD system in ARDS patients. The objective was to identify risk factors and outcome of pregnant women who required intensive care This pilot study aims to find stress (S) and other personality traits (physical symptoms [PS], anger [A]) among the ICU staff, and any existing correlation between them and length of working time (LWT) in the ICU and with educational level (EDL). The role of Drotrecogin alfa (activated) (recombinant human activated protein C [rhAPC]) in modulating microvascular coagulation through the inhibition of thrombin generation has been well studied in experimental and clinical settings of severe sepsis, little is known about its direct anti-inflammatory effects on vascular endothelial cells. The aim is to determine whether an effective lifestyle adaptation program post CABG could enhance the quality of life of the CABG patient
