متن کاملAerosolized antibiotics in mechanically ventilated patients.
Aerosolized antibiotics are potentially useful in intensive care. At State University of New York at Stony Brook we developed a human model of tracheobronchitis in intubated patients. The model provides daily specimens of airway secretions, allowing serial studies of airway inflammation and testing of therapy modes. The presence of local infection is defined by a unique method of quantified spu...
متن کاملPredictors of mortality in mechanically ventilated patients.
OBJECTIVES There are scarce data from India validating scoring systems used to predict outcome in patients requiring mechanical ventilation. This study prospectively compared the organ system failure (OSF), the acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APACHE) II, and the APACHE III, scores on patients requiring mechanical ventilation in the medical intensive care unit, to predict outcome...
متن کاملGastric intramural pH in mechanically ventilated patients.
BACKGROUND The hypothesis that gastric intramural pH (pHi) is predictive of outcome in haemodynamically stable, mechanically ventilated patients was tested in 25 patients on assisted mechanical ventilation for respiratory failure. METHODS Simultaneous samples of arterial blood and gastric juice were obtained from patients on assist control, synchronised intermittent and pressure control venti...
