Association between Red Cell Distribution Width and Mortality in Pediatric Patients Admitted to Intensive Care Units
Background: Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a routine laboratory measure that could be used as a predictor of mortality in critically ill patients. Identification of patients at risk for mortality early in the course of PICU admission is an important step in improving the outcome. We aimed to assess the use of RDW as an early biomarker for outcome in pediatric critical illnesses. Methods:...
متن کاملCharacteristics and outcomes of culture-negative versus culture-positive severe sepsis
INTRODUCTION Culture-negative sepsis is a common but relatively understudied condition. The aim of this study was to compare the characteristics and outcomes of culture-negative versus culture-positive severe sepsis. METHODS This was a prospective observational cohort study of 1001 patients who were admitted to the medical intensive care unit (ICU) of a university hospital from 2004 to 2009 w...
متن کاملAntibiotic induced hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia among pediatric patients admitted to intensive care unit
Background: Drug induced hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia (DIHA and DIT) are common drug adverse effects of antibiotics in patients admitted to hospital. This reaction is important in patients who have a chronic disease especially in pediatrics. In this study, possible hemolytic anemia was investigated before and after the antibiotics administration. Materials and Methods: A total of 835 ...
متن کاملDifficult intubation and outcomes in intubated patients admitted to intensive care unit
Background & Aims: Endotracheal intubation is commonly performed in the intensive care unit. Many international guidelines for difficult intubation management are available and the intensivists think that any endotracheal intubation in ICU is potentially difficult with several complications. Materials & Methods: After obtaining ethical approval, this descriptive and analytical study was cond...
متن کاملThe effect of stress and hemodynamic indices of patients admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit
Introduction: Hospitalization in the cardiac care unit (CCU) is a stressful event that can adversely affect the patient's recovery process. Another factor that may be affected by stress is hemodynamic indices. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of stress on hemodynamic indices in patients admitted to the CCU. Materials and Methods: The present study is a descriptive correlational...
