Hyperferritinemia in Critically Ill Patients*

Critical Care Medicine, 2020
Objective: Hyperferritinemia is frequently seen in critically ill patients. A rather rare though life-threatening condition related to severely elevated ferritin is hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis. We analyze ferritin levels to differentiate hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis from other causes of hyperferritinemia in a mixed

Sleep in the Critically Ill Patient

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2001
The sleep of intensive care unit (ICU) patients is remarkably disrupted. Several studies, employing both subjective and objective measures of sleep quality, have demonstrated that critically ill patients exhibit severe sleep fragmentation and reduced restorative sleep, particularly a suppression of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.

Probiotics in Critically Ill Patients

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2008
Severe sepsis with associated multisystem organ dysfunction is a leading cause of death in patients hospitalized in intensive care units. The gastrointestinal system plays a key role in the pathogenesis of multisystem organ dysfunction owing to a breakdown of intestinal barrier function and increased translocation of bacteria and bacterial components ...
