Status epilepticus: Updates on mechanisms and treatments

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Status epilepticus (SE) consists of prolonged, self‐sustaining seizures and is a common neurological emergency that causes respiratory compromise and neuronal injury. Without prompt treatment, the seizures can become resistant to benzodiazepines, leading to the progressive evolution of established, refractory, and super‐refractory SE.

An integrated approach to prevent and treat respiratory failure in brain-injured patients [PDF]

, 2005
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Brain-injured patients are at increased risk of extracerebral organ dysfunction, in particular ventilator-associated pneumonia. The purpose of this review is to discuss functional abnormalities, clinical treatment, and possible ...

Myocardial ischemia during ventilator weaning: a prospective multicenter cohort study

Critical Care, 2019
BackgroundWeaning-induced cardiac pulmonary edema (WiPO) is one of the main mechanisms of weaning failure during mechanical ventilation. We hypothesized that weaning-induced cardiac ischemia (WiCI) may contribute to weaning failure from cardiac origin ...

Characterizing electroencephalogram dynamics during sedation withdrawal: Insights into cortical recovery following status epilepticus

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Characterize electroencephalogram (EEG) dynamics during propofol withdrawal in patients with generalized convulsive status epilepticus (GCSE) and explore their association with functional outcomes. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of adult patients with GCSE who received continuous EEG monitoring and propofol ...

Mechanical ventilation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, noninvasive vs. invasive method (randomized prospective study) [Usporedba neinvazivne i invazivne umjetne ventilacije kod bolesnika s kroničnom opstruktivnom plućnom bolesti: prospektivna randomizirana studija] [PDF]

, 2009
Acute respiratory failure due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) presents an increasing problem throughout the world. The aim of this study was to compare invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) for patients with COPD.

Abdominal functional electrical stimulation to assist ventilator weaning in critical illness: a double-blinded, randomised, sham-controlled pilot study

Critical Care, 2019
BackgroundFor every day a person is dependent on mechanical ventilation, respiratory and cardiac complications increase, quality of life decreases and costs increase by > $USD 1500. Interventions that improve respiratory muscle function during mechanical

Impact of early dexmedetomidine administration on short‐ and long‐term outcomes in critically traumatic brain injury patients: A retrospective study using the MIMIC‐IV database

Ibrain, EarlyView.
Our retrospective analysis of the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care‐IV (MIMIC‐IV) database suggests that early use of dexmedetomidine is associated with lower short‐term (28‐day and in‐hospital) and long‐term (1‐year) mortality in patients with traumatic brain injury.

Ventilator Weaning and Spontaneous Breathing Trials; an Educational Review

Archives of Academic Emergency Medicine, 2018
The term "weaning" is used to describe the gradual process of decreasing ventilator support. It is estimated that 40% of the duration of mechanical ventilation is dedicated to the process of weaning. Spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) assesses the patient'

Diaphragmatic ultrasonography for predicting ventilator weaning

Medicine, 2018
Background: Weaning failure is common in mechanically ventilated patients. Whether ultrasound can predict weaning outcome remains controversial. This meta-analysis was performed to assess the accuracy of diaphragmatic ultrasonography for predicting ...

Paternal Exposure to the Neonicotinoid Pesticide Clothianidin Alters Sperm MicroRNA Profiles in Mice and Intergenerationally Reduces Locomotor Activity in Male Offspring

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Accumulating evidence suggests that paternal environmental factors have epigenetic effects on sperm and influence offspring. Neonicotinoid pesticides (NNs), which are widely used around the world, are known to affect offspring phenotypes through maternal exposure in mice, but the effect of the paternal exposure remains unknown.
