Risk factors for carnitine deficiency in critically ill adults: A descriptive cross‐sectional study

open access: yesJournal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Critical illness is a risk factor for carnitine deficiency. Carnitine deficiency may result in serious medical complications and poor clinical outcomes. This study aimed to identify the prevalence and potential predictors of carnitine deficiency.

RELATION BETWEEN LEFT VENTRICULAR UNLOADING DURING ECMO AND DRAINAGE CATHETER SIZE ASSESSED BY MATHEMATICAL MODELING

open access: yesActa Polytechnica, 2017
The flow-dependent left ventricle overload is a well-known complication of the veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in a severe cardiogenic shock, which leads to a distension of the left ventricle and, frequently, to a severe pulmonary edema.

Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation for Severe Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Posterior Probability of Mortality Benefit in a Post Hoc Bayesian Analysis of a Randomized Clinical Trial

open access: yesJournal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2018
Importance Bayesian analysis of clinical trial data may provide useful information to aid in study interpretation, especially when trial evidence suggests that the benefits of an intervention are uncertain, such as in a trial that evaluated early ...

Economic evaluation: what does a nurse manager need to know?

open access: yes, 2005
This paper considers how health economists can assist nurse managers, using the concepts and tools of economic evaluation. We aim to clarify these and also explode some of the myths about economic evaluation and its role in health care decision-making ...

Limb ischemia in peripheral veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation: a narrative review of incidence, prevention, monitoring, and treatment

open access: yesCritical Care, 2019
Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (V-A ECMO) is an increasingly adopted life-saving mechanical circulatory support for a number of potentially reversible or treatable cardiac diseases.

Relationship between nutrition support and clinical outcomes in post–lung transplant patients in intensive care unit settings: A retrospective study

open access: yesNutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Nutrition status significantly influences outcomes after solid organ transplantation, yet data on energy and protein intake in lung transplantation (LTx) patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) are scarce. The objective is to examine the medical nutrition therapy and clinical outcomes in mechanically ventilated post‐LTx adults ...

Decreased maximum clot firmness in rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM (R)) is associated with bleeding during extracorporeal mechanical circulatory support [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Background: We aimed to characterize the coagulation disturbances which may increase the risk of bleeding, thrombosis or death shortly after implantation of an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) or ventricular assist (VAD) device.
