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...
متن کاملQuality improvement in cardiac critical care
Our quality improvement program began in 2004 to improve cardiac surgery outcomes. Early tracheal extubation in the cardiovascular intensive unit was utilized as a multidisciplinary driver for the quality improvement program. Continuous improvement in the rate of early extubation to drive multidisciplinary quality improvement in cardiac critical care correlated with decreased mortality, morbidi...
متن کاملDelirium in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit
D elirium is an important diagnosis, both because it is challenging to manage and because it portends a poor prognosis in the hospital and beyond. Delirium is particularly prevalent in the intensive care unit (ICU) setting, where it is associated with longer hospital stays, prolonged mechanical ventilation, increased hospital costs, and increases in mortality. In fact, studies have shown the in...
متن کاملCardiac biomarkers in the intensive care unit
Cardiac biomarkers (CB) were first developed for assisting the diagnosis of cardiac events, especially acute myocardial infarction. The discoveries of other CB, the better understanding of cardiac disease process and the advancement in detection technology has pushed the applications of CB beyond the 'diagnosis' boundary. Not only the measurements of CB are more sensitive, the applications have...
