Thrombocytopenia and platelet transfusions in ICU patients
Anthon, Carl Thomas; Pène, Frédéric; Perner, Anders; Azoulay, Elie; Puxty, Kathryn; Van De Louw, Andry; Barratt-Due, Andreas; Chawla, Sanjay© 2023. The Author(s).; PURPOSE: Thrombocytopenia (platelet count < 150 × 109/L) is common in intensive care unit (ICU) patients and is likely associated with worse outcomes. In this study we present international contemporary data on thrombocytopenia in ICU patients. METHODS: We conducted a prospective cohort study in adult ICU patients in 52 ICUs across 10 countries. We assessed frequencies of thrombocytopeni...

Predictive value of D-dimer in the clinical outcome of severe COVID19 patients
Cidade, José P.; Coelho, Luís; Costa, Vasco; Morais, Rui; Moniz, Patrícia; Morais, Luís; Fidalgo, Pedro; Tralhão, António; Paulino, CarolinaBACKGROUND: COVID-19 is a new form of acute respiratory failure leading to multiorgan failure and ICU admission. Gathered evidence suggests that a 3-fold rise in D-dimer concentrations may be linked to poor prognosis and higher mortality. PURPOSE: To describe D-dimer admission profile in severe ICU COVID19 patients and its predictive role in outcomes and mortality. METHODS: Single-center retrospective cohort st...
Respiratory viruses in mechanically ventilated patients
Nazareth, Raquel; Chasqueira, Maria-Jesus; Rodrigues, Maria Lúcia; Paulino, Carolina; Conceição, Catarina; Lêdo, Lia; Segura, Úrsula; Santos, MadalenaBACKGROUND: Respiratory virome is an integral part of the human microbiome and its characterization may contribute to a better understanding of the changes that arise in the disease and, consequently, influence the approach and treatment of patients with acute lower respiratory infections. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of respiratory viruses in the lower airways of individuals undergoing in...
What do we know about carbon monoxide poisoning and cardiac compromise?
Cardiga, Rosa; Proença, Margarida; Carvalho, Carolina; Costa, Luís; Botella, Arturo; Marques, Filipa; Paulino, Carolina; Carvalho, AntónioCarbon monoxide (CO) poisoning is one of the most common types of poisoning and the leading cause of death by poisoning worldwide. Cardiac injury caused by CO poisoning has been little described despite being a predictor of poor prognosis. We present the case of a healthy 24-year-old woman, admitted to our emergency room due to an episode of lipothymia without loss of consciousness. She reported holocranial hea...
