Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2004
Vasopressin is one of the most important endogenously released stress hormones during shock. In this review, studies published in the past year that add to our understanding of the use of vasopressin in the ICU are discussed.Endogenous vasopressin levels are inappropriately low in adults with severe sepsis but not in children with meningococcal septic ...

Intensive Care Medicine, 1993
The growing number of technical devices in ICUs makes noise exposure a major stressor. The purpose of this study was to assess noise levels during routine operation in our ICU.Our ICU is an open ward with four rooms, constructed in the 1960s. During the study period, 4 patients were in the controlled room and were treated by 4 nurses during the day and

Dysnatremias, disorders of sodium concentration, are exceedingly common in critically ill patients and confer increased risk for adverse outcomes including mortality. The physiology that underpins the diagnosis and management of these disorders is complex.

Chest, 2000
Fever is a common problem in ICU patients. The presence of fever frequently results in the performance of diagnostic tests and procedures that significantly increase medical costs and expose the patient to unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures and the inappropriate use of antibiotics.

Pediatrics, 1992
To the Editor.— Most newborn intensive care units (NICUs) today stand as monuments to the technology and efficiency that dramatically improved survival of premature newborns during the last two decades. Beginning as small "premie nurseries" which held five or six newborns per room, NICUs evolved in the late 70s and the early 80s into ...

The Hastings Center Report, 1992
Some patients in intensive care units are too sick to derive much benefit from being there, while others are too well to require the technology and skills offered. When ICU resources are scarce, they may ethically be withdrawn from either sort of patient in favor of one more likely to benefit from the care.

AbstractAt 5:30 pm on December 17, 2010, shortly after a power failure, smoke filled the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Federico II University Hospital in Naples, Italy, triggering the hospital emergency alarm system. Immediately, staff began emergency procedures and alerted rescue teams. All patients were transferred without harm.
