Critical Care Clinics, 2016
Caring for critically ill patients with acute and/or chronic liver dysfunction poses a unique challenge. Proper resuscitation and early consideration for transfer to liver transplant centers have resulted in improved outcomes. Liver support devices and cellular models have not yet shown mortality benefit, but they hold promise in the critical care of ...

Critical Care Clinics, 2004
The anemia of critical illness is a distinct clinical entity with characteristics similar to that of chronic disease anemia. Several solutions to the processes of anemia, such as blunted erythropoietin production and erythropoietin response and abnormalities in iron metabolism have been developed.

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.

Laparoscopy in the critically ill
Surgical Endoscopy, 1997Laparoscopy 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, 2013and 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 ...

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 polyneuropathy
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2000Critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP) is common among patients in intensive care units (ICUs). However, it is rarely diagnosed in patients in most ICUs, because of the lack of knowledge, difficulties in clinical assessment, and failure to perform electrophysiologic studies.

Neutrophils in critical illness
Cell and Tissue Research, 2017During 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.
