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

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.

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 ...

The legacy of a critical illness
British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2007Improved management of the acute phase of a critical illness ensures that approximately two in three patients will eventually leave hospital, yet survival does not necessarily mean a return to full health. The more widespread use of follow-up clinics in patients discharged from an intensive care unit (ICU) has shown a substantial legacy in terms of ...

Critical illness polyneuromyopathy
American Journal of Health-System Pharmacy, 2012The clinical characteristics of and treatment approaches for critical illness polyneuromyopathy (CIPNM) are reviewed.CIPNM is an acute axonal sensory-motor polyneuropathy that tends to occur after the development of respiratory insufficiency in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome, sepsis, or multiple-organ dysfunction syndrome ...

Critically ill patients are often unable to eat by themselves over a long period of time, sometimes for weeks. In the acute phase, serious protein-energy malnutrition may develop with progressive muscle weakness, which may result in assisted respiration of longer duration as well as longer stay in intensive care unit and hospital.

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2006
Malnutrition associated with critical illness has been unequivocally associated with increased morbidity and mortality in humans. Because malnutrition may similarly affect veterinary patients, the nutritional requirements of hospitalized critically ill animals must be properly addressed. Proper nutritional support is increasingly being recognized as an

Thyrotoxicosis in the Critically Ill
Critical Care Clinics, 1991The thyrotoxic patient offers a considerable challenge to the critical care physician because the "obvious" diagnosis often will be a cardiac (or other nonthyroidal) problem, but the "correct" diagnosis will be an endocrinologic one. The importance of considering the diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis in any patient with tachyarrhythmias, new-onset congestive

Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, 2001
Critical illness neuropathy frequently accompanies the septic syndrome in inten sive care units. Another entity that may occur independently or concurrently in crit ically ill patients is a myopathy, giving rise to difficulties in distinguishing between them. The two patients described had sensorimotor axonal peripheral neuropathy.

Critical illness polyneuropathy
Current Opinion in Neurology, 2001Critical 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.
