Micronutrients in Critical Illness

Critical Care Clinics, 1995
Micronutrients play a key role in many of the metabolic processes that promote survival from critical illness. For vitamins, these processes include oxidative phosphorylation, which is altered in the patient with systemic inflammation, and protection against mediators, in particular oxidants. Trace elements are essential for direct antioxidant activity

Laparoscopy in the critically ill

Surgical Endoscopy, 1997
Laparoscopy was evaluated in critically ill patients with suspected acute cholecystitis, mesenteric ischemia, or gastrointestinal perforation. We studied laparoscopy to assess its utility, accuracy, and effect on cardiopulmonary stability.Twenty-six surgical ICU patients with possible abdominal sepsis underwent laparoscopy.

Thrombocytopenia in the critically ill

Canadian Journal of Anesthesia/Journal canadien d'anesthésie, 2013
and theetiology of this thrombocytopenia is often multifactorial.The most frequent etiologies include hemodilution,increased platelet consumption (secondary to tissue trauma,bleeding, and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy),increased platelet destruction by immune mechanisms orby extracorporeal circulation, decreased platelet produc-tion ...

Critical Illness Myopathy

Journal of Clinical Neurophysiology, 2020
Summary: Critical illness myopathy (CIM) is a primary myopathy associated with increased mortality and morbidity, which frequently develops in severely ill patients. Several risk factors have been suggested for the development of critical illness myopathy.

Critical illness myopathy

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2012
To describe the incidence, major risk factors, and the clinical, electrophysiological, and histological features of critical illness myopathy (CIM). Major pathogenetic mechanisms and long-term consequences of CIM are also reviewed.CIM is frequently associated with critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP), and may have a relevant impact on patients ...

Diarrhoea in the Critically Ill

Intensive Care Medicine, 1986
“Diarrhoea” is derived from the Greek for a flowing trough. It is difficult to define precisely because of the wide variation in normal bowel habit, but definitions always include increased frequency and liquid consistency of the stool.

Selenium in critical illness

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2006
Selenium is a trace element essential to human health. Critical illness is associated with the generation of oxygen free radicals resulting in a condition of oxidative stress. Supplementing critically ill patients with antioxidant nutrients may improve survival.

Critical illness polyneuropathy

Current Opinion in Neurology, 2001
Critical illness polyneuropathy is a self-limited acute axonal neuropathy that develops during treatment of severely ill patients and remits spontaneously once the critical condition is under control. Clinical manifestations include muscle weakness and atrophy, delayed weaning from the respirator, and prolongation of the mobilization phase.

Neutrophils in critical illness

Cell and Tissue Research, 2017
During critical illness, dramatic alterations in neutrophil biology are observed including abnormalities of granulopoeisis and lifespan, cell trafficking and antimicrobial effector functions. As a result, neutrophils transition from powerful antimicrobial protectors into dangerous mediators of tissue injury and organ dysfunction.
