Abstract
We have reported that the initial distribution volume of glucose (IDVG) reflects the central extracellular fluid volume status and correlated with cardiac output following major surgery. In clinical practice we are using IDVG as an indicator of cardiac preload to predict hypovolemia or fluid refilling phase following major surgery. IDVG is an intermittent measurement parameter and its rather time consuming procedure limits frequent measurements of IDVG. In this study, to investigate whether or not continuous cardiac output (CO) monitoring could be used as a clinical alternative of IDVG to estimate the changes in cardiac preload, we examined a correlation between changes in CO and IDVG in sedated, mechanically ventilated postoperative patients.
Highlights
In our experience, very often, even with a nonrebreathing mask (NRM), high oxygen delivery to patient with the existent materials is insufficient
The difference between both attributable mortality rates (22.1%) was statistically significant

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
