Epidemiology of invasive aspergillosis in critically ill patients : clinical presentation, underlying conditions, and outcome [PDF]

, 2015
Introduction: Invasive aspergillosis (IA) is a fungal infection that particularly affects immunocompromised hosts. Recently, several studies have indicated a high incidence of IA in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.

Unveiling the Microvasculature: The Index of Microcirculatory Resistance and Its Expanding Role in Cardiovascular Care

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) is a cutting‐edge, wire‐based tool that advances the capability assessment of coronary microvascular function. By utilizing distal coronary pressure and mean transit time under maximal hyperemia, IMR delivers consistent, reproducible insights into the microvasculature's dynamic health.

Effects of Endotoxemia and Blood Pressure on Microcirculation and Noradrenaline Needs With or Without Dexmedetomidine in Beagle Dogs—A Blinded Cross-Over Study

Animals
Endotoxemia often leads to microcirculatory derangement. In six sevoflurane anaesthetized Beagle dogs, we investigated the effects of 1 mg/kg of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide endotoxin intravenous and blood pressure (mean arterial pressure of 65 ...

Approach to Shock

McGill Journal of Medicine, 2022
Shock is a life-threatening pathophysiologic state referring to inadequate organ perfusion, which can progress to end-organ dysfunction and eventually, multiple organ failure and death. The diagnosis of shock is clinical, necessitating good understanding

Synthetic Vasopressin and Oxytocin Analogs and Their Potential Use in Hemorrhagic, Traumatic and Septic Shock: A Personal Perspective [PDF]

, 2017
As one of us has stated many years ago, “shock is a significant and sustained loss of effective circulating blood volume. It will eventuate in hypoperfusion of critical peripheral tissues, thus leading to a deficit in transcapillary exchange function in ...

Feasibility and Safety of Distal Transradial Access in Patients With Out‐of‐Hospital Cardiac Arrest Undergoing Emergency PCI: A Single‐Center Retrospective Study

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Distal transradial access (dTRA) has gained attention for its lower risk of vascular complications compared to conventional transradial access (TRA). However, its feasibility and safety in patients with out‐of‐hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) undergoing emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remain uncertain.

A comparison of three vasopressors for tight control of maternal blood pressure during cesarean section under spinal anesthesia: Effect on maternal and fetal outcome

Journal of Anaesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, 2013
Purpose: Maintaining systolic blood pressure (SBP) at 100% of baseline is best for fetal and maternal outcome. We hypothesized that irrespective of the vasopressor used, maintaining SBP at 100% of baseline with phenylephrine (P), metaraminol (M), or ...

Randomized trial of bolus ephedrine or mephentermine for maintenance of arterial pressure and fetal outcome during spinal anesthesia for the cesarean section

Journal of Obstetric Anaesthesia and Critical Care, 2022
Background and Aims: Spinal anesthesia remains the preferred choice for cesarean deliveries, but hypotension is one of the common complications which may have detrimental effects on both the mother and fetus.

Targeted Perfusion Therapy in Spinal Cord Trauma. [PDF]

, 2020
We review state-of-the-art monitoring techniques for acute, severe traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI) to facilitate targeted perfusion of the injured cord rather than applying universal mean arterial pressure targets.
