Early in my intern year, I admitted an 80-year-old man with pneumonia to the intensive care unit (ICU). He had hypotension and was struggling to breathe, and my senior resident and I told his family that it was touch and go. Their response: Do everything. He had repaired cars for a living, and he was a tough guy, a fighter.

Capnography During Critical Illness
Chest, 2016Capnography has made steady inroads in the ICU and is increasingly used for all patients who are mechanically ventilated. There is growing recognition that capnography is rich in information about lung and circulatory physiology and provides insight into many diseases and treatments.

Critical Illness Neuromuscular Syndromes
Critical Care Clinics, 2006Critical illness neuromyopathy (CINM) is the most common peripheral neuromuscular disorder encountered in the ICU. Bilateral diffuse weakness predominant in the proximal part of the limbs after improvement of the acute phase of the critical illness is highly suggestive of CINM.

Acute myopathy is a common problem in intensive care units. Those at highest risk for developing critical illness myopathy are exposed to intravenous corticosteroids and paralytic agents during treatment of various illnesses. Diffuse weakness and failure to wean from mechanical ventilation are the most common clinical manifestations.

Micronutrients in Critical Illness
Critical Care Clinics, 1995Micronutrients 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

Critical Illness Polyneuropathy and Critical Illness Myopathy
2003Neuromuscular disorders alone can account for up to 62% of the cases of ventilatory dependency in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with no other apparent causes of failure to wean, and they may be a contributing factor in up to 86% of these patients (Spitzer et al. 1992).

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2009
The article reviews and speculates on potential mechanisms underlying sex-related differences in admission patterns, care delivery and outcome of critical illness.Evidence from many countries suggests men are more commonly admitted to intensive care units than are women, and may be more likely to receive aggressive life support.

Critical illness can be considered to be any disease process which causes physiological instability that leads to disability or death within minutes or hours. Fortunately, physiological instability associated with critical illness is easily detected by perturbations of simple clinical observations such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate ...
