Clinics in Chest Medicine, 2009
Invasive Candida infections are becoming increasingly recognized in critically ill patients. These infections result in serious morbidity, can be life threatening, and are expensive to manage. Early suspicion of Candida infection and the use of timely and proper antifungal treatment can improve outcome.

Current Opinion in Infectious Diseases, 2008
Invasive fungal infections remain a serious complication for critically ill ICU patients. The aim of this article is to review recent efficacy data of newer antifungal agents for the treatment of invasive candidiasis. The influence that recent epidemiological trends, advances in diagnostic testing, and risk prediction methods exert on the optimization ...

Delirium is not a harmless transient event during ICU hospitalization; rather, it is a severe complication of critical illness associated with increased mortality, morbidity, and persistent disability. Despite being recognized for decades, it remains underdiagnosed. Employing validated tools for detection helps reduce missed cases.

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.

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

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 When ICU resources are scarce, they may ethically be withdrawn from either sort of patient in favor of one more likely to benefit from the care.
