THE MICROCIRCULATION IN CRITICALLY-ILL PATIENTS
Acta Clinica Belgica, 2007The microcirculation plays a major role in oxygen delivery and organ perfusion, and is largely involved in the pathophysiological alterations of shock states. It has been a focus of research for a long time, but human clinical and physiological studies have been limited by a lack of reliable techniques available at the bedside.

Thrombocytopenia in Critically Ill Patients
Seminars in Thrombosis and Hemostasis, 2008Critically ill patients often have a low platelet count. A proper identification of the underlying cause of this abnormality is required, because various underlying disorders may necessitate different diagnostic and therapeutic management strategies. Platelets are part of the first line of defense of the body against bleeding, hence, thrombocytopenia ...

Outcomes of critically ill patients
The American Journal of Emergency Medicine, 2005We hypothesized that critically ill patients who remain in the ED for more than 24 hours experience worse outcomes and longer lengths of stay than those transferred to the medical intensive care unit (MICU) within 24 hours.Medical records were examined of all patients admitted to the MICU directly from the ED of a 325-bed community teaching hospital ...

Neuromonitoring in Critically Ill Patients
Critical Care Medicine, 2023OBJECTIVES: Critically ill patients are at high risk of acute brain injury. Bedside multimodality neuromonitoring techniques can provide a direct assessment of physiologic interactions between systemic derangements and intracranial processes and offer the potential for early detection of neurologic deterioration before ...

The microbiome of the critically ill patient
Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2018Purpose of review Advances in the understanding of the human microbiome outside of the ICU have led investigators to consider the role of the microbiome in critical illness. The picture that is being elucidated is one of dysbiosis occurring at multiple sites in the critically ill patient.

Leukopenia in the Critically Ill Patient
2014The diagnosis of leukopenia can be particularly challenging in the critically ill patient, since a reduced number of white blood cells can be associated with many different systemic or hematological disorders. The main causes of leukopenia are reviewed and discussed. © Springer-Verlag Italia 2015.

Sedation in the critically ill patient
Current Opinion in Anaesthesiology, 1998The goal of critical care medicine is to support organ function and maintain homeostasis until healing can occur. Sedation and analgesia may blunt the physiologic and psychologic sequelae of intensive care unit stress, and support homeostasis. Although a wide variety of agents have been used empirically, the recognition of analgesia, amnesia, and ...

Delirium in critically ill patients
2017Delirium is common in critically ill patients and associated with increased length of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) and long-term cognitive impairment. The pathophysiology of delirium has been explained by neuroinflammation, an aberrant stress response, neurotransmitter imbalances, and neuronal network alterations.

Dialysis Patients and Critical Illness
American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 2012Dialysis patients account for 1%-9% of all intensive care unit (ICU) admissions. As a result of the increasing prevalence of patients treated with long-term dialysis and the changing demographics of this population, the number of dialysis patients requiring hospitalization and ICU support is expected to increase.

Transport of Critically Ill Patients
Journal of Intensive Care Medicine, 1992Critically ill patients are transported within and between hospitals on a regular basis; thus, transport of the critically ill is a component of most intensivists-practice. The motivation for these transports lies in obtaining diagnostic or therapeutic services not available at the bedside (intrahospital transport) or not available in the sending ...
