Effects of epinephrine and norepinephrine on endotoxin-induced tissue factor expression in blood monocytes

The aim of this study was to quantify the volume of pleural effusions (PEs) in the critically ill using ultrasound
During months three and four, the cost per patient (n=26) for sedatives was $669±1.362 - an 18% reduction in cost versus months one and two (P>0.05)
Significant reductions occurred in lorazepam (18%), midazolam (18%) and propofol (47%) usage (P
Summary
The aim of this study was to quantify the volume of pleural effusions (PEs) in the critically ill using ultrasound. In patients with acute lung injury (ALI), the prone position is a well-established method to improve gas exchange by reopening atelectasis and secret drainage This approach might lead, to increased intra-abdominal pressure and thereby impaired gastric mucosal perfusion. These findings are important in septic patients In this present study, the association of the platelet function with the systemic inflammation and the development in different parts of the septic process in patients of an internal intensive care unit were investigated. Hypercoagulability and endothelial cell activation and/or injury are mutually related and often found in acutely ill septic patients, and recently they have been reported to be related to multiple organ dysfunction syndromes (MODS).It is not clear, which parameters indicating coagulopathy are most closely related to MODS.
