High Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) with Recruitment Maneuvers versus ...

Background: The influence of high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) with recruitment maneuvers on the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications after surgery is still not definitively established. Bayesian anal ysis can help to gain further insights from the available data and provide a probabilistic framework that is easier to interpret. The objective was to estimate the posterior probability t...

International multicentre observational study to evaluate the association betwe...

Introduction: Blood transfusion is still common in patients undergoing major cancer surgery. Blood transfusion can be associated with poor prognosis in patients with cancer. Perioperative Care in the Cancer Patient -1 (ARCA-1) aims to assess in a large cohort of patients the current incidence, pattern of practice and associations between perioperative blood transfusions and 1-year survival in patients undergoin...

Restrictive versus Liberal Fluid Therapy for PostCesarean Acute Kidney Injury i...

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to determine whether a restrictive compared to a liberal fluid therapy will increase postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with severe preeclampsia. METHODS: A total of 46 patients (mean age, 32 years; standard deviation, 6.8 years) with severe preeclampsia were randomized to liberal (1500 ml of lactated Ringer’s, n=23) or restrictive (250 ml of lactated Ringe...

Ultrasound non-invasive intracranial pressure assessment in paediatric neurocri...

Background: The assessment of intracranial pressure (ICP) is essential in the management of neurocritical care paediatric patients. The gold standard for invasive ICP is an intraventricular catheter or intraparenchymal microsensor but is invasive and carries some risks. Therefore, a non-invasive method for measuring ICP (nICP) would be desirable especially in the paediatric population. The aim of this study is ...

Intensive care medicine: a multidisciplinary approach!

Intensive care medicine (ICM) is unique in that it deals with the most severely ill patients in almost all fields of medicine. It is demanding in all aspects from a theoretical, practical, co-operational and personal perspective. It is also characterised by a rapid development in diagnostic and treatment options. Furthermore, the organisational and manpower characteristics of European healthcare have been chang...
