Improving enteral nutrition in patients requiring neurological intensive care unit care: A retrospective study on a novel bedside nasointestinal tube placement technique

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study aimed to develop and assess a bedside nasojejunal tube placement technique designed for resource‐limited settings to address the specific challenges of enteral nutrition (EN) delivery in neurocritical care patients, particularly those at high risk of reflux and aspiration. The technique sought to overcome the drawbacks of

The associations between sarcopenia risk, malnutrition, and mortality in adults admitted to an intensive care unit: A prospective, cohort study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sarcopenia and malnutrition are associated with mortality, including in adults admitted to an intensive care unit. However, their relationships with each other and with intensive care unit mortality, independently, in mechanically ventilated adults are unclear.

Comparison of APACHE II and three abbreviated APACHE II scores for predicting outcome among emergency trauma patients

Revista da Associação Médica Brasileira, 2014
Objective: to compare the ability of the APACHE II score and three different abbreviated APACHE II scores: simplified APACHE II (s-APACHE II), Rapid Acute Physiology score (RAPS) and Rapid Emergency Medicine score to evaluate in-hospital mortality of trauma patients at the emergency department (ED).

Association of enteral nutrition reduction or discontinuation with diarrhea volume and caloric delivery in critically ill adults with diarrhea: A retrospective cohort study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background When critically ill patients receiving enteral nutrition (EN) develop diarrhea, clinicians often reduce or discontinue EN, although evidence supporting this practice is limited. We examined the association between EN management after diarrhea and diarrhea volume in critical care patients.

New scoring system (APACHE-HF) for predicting adverse outcomes in patients with acute heart failure: Evaluation of the APACHE II and Modified APACHE II scoring systems [PDF]

Journal of Cardiology, 2014
No scoring system for assessing acute heart failure (AHF) has been reported.Data for 824 AHF patients were analyzed. The subjects were divided into an alive (n=750) and a dead group (n=74). We constructed a predictive scoring system based on eight significant APACHE II factors in the alive group [mean arterial pressure (MAP), pulse, sodium, potassium ...

The impact of low‐risk intensive care unit admissions on mortality probabilities by SAPS II, APACHE II and APACHE III [PDF]

Anaesthesia, 2002
A large proportion of intensive care unit patients are low‐risk admissions. Mortality probabilities generated by predictive systems may not accurately reflect the mortality experienced by subpopulations of critically ill patients. We prospectively assessed the impact of low‐risk admissions (mortality risk < 10%) on the mortality
