متن کاملPhenytoin toxicity associated with hypoalbuminemia in critically ill patients.
Four critically ill patients developed phenytoin toxicity. Hypoalbuminemia or concomitant displacing drugs resulted in an increased fraction of unbound drug. Clinical findings included gradual decrease in level of consciousness and cerebellar signs. Marked phenytoin toxicity can occur in critically ill patients with hypoalbuminemia and can often be detected only by direct measurement of free ph...
متن کاملCoefficient of glucose variation is independently associated with mortality in critically ill patients receiving intravenous insulin
INTRODUCTION Both patient- and context-specific factors may explain the conflicting evidence regarding glucose control in critically ill patients. Blood glucose variability appears to correlate with mortality, but this variability may be an indicator of disease severity, rather than an independent predictor of mortality. We assessed blood glucose coefficient of variation as an independent predi...
متن کاملMild hypoglycemia is independently associated with increased mortality in the critically ill
INTRODUCTION Severe hypoglycemia (blood glucose concentration (BG) < 40 mg/dL) is independently associated with an increased risk of mortality in critically ill patients. The association of milder hypoglycemia (BG < 70 mg/dL) with mortality is less clear. METHODS Prospectively collected data from two observational cohorts in the USA and in The Netherlands, and from the prospective GLUCONTROL ...
متن کاملBlood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) is independently associated with mortality in critically ill patients admitted to ICU
PURPOSE Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) was reported to be associated with mortality in heart failure patients. We aimed to evaluate admission BUN concentration in a heterogeneous critically ill patient collective admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) for prognostic relevance. METHODS A total of 4176 medical patients (67±13 years) admitted to a German ICU between 2004 and 2009 were included. Fol...
