Abstract
Almost one-half of patients with septic shock develop acute lung injury (ALI). The understanding of why some patients do and others do not develop ALI is limited. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis that delayed treatment of septic shock is associated with the development of ALI.
Highlights
The aim of this study was to elucidate the impact of ICU-acquired infection on ICU and hospital mortality
The goal from this study is to evaluate weaning predictor indexes in patients during weaning from mechanical ventilation (MV)
Hospital mortality decreased significantly from 70.5% to 69.0% (trend analysis odds ratio (95% confidence interval); 0.98 per year (0.97–0.99) P < 0.001)
Summary
The aim of this study was to elucidate the impact of ICU-acquired infection on ICU and hospital mortality. Methods A total of 48 community patients (36 men, 11 women, age 50.17 ± 17.974 years, APACHE II score 13.51 ± 6.153) who were expected to stay in the ICU for >5 days were included in this study. Specific examples of feedback are as follows: ‘good update of management plan reinforces need for taking into account concurrent medication when resuscitating patients’, ‘nice simple messages with good starting points for trying to deal with these complicated patients’, ‘useful data on risk of recurrence as this is a question often asked by patients’ This feedback was encouraging as it showed how the primary care professionals planned to change their practice to improve patient outcomes as a result of the learning. The course was considered excellent by 63% of the participants and good by 36%
