Volume Responsiveness in Critically Ill Patients
odern resuscitation has changed since the advent of goaldirected therapy. Today, practitioners providing fluid resuscitation are cognizant of the danger associated with volume depletion while being aware of the morbidity of volume overload.1 Thus, fluid resuscitation must be rapid, precise, and individually tailored to each patient based on reliable data.2 Critically ill patients have a mixture...
متن کاملNutritional Assessment in Critically Ill Patients
Background: Malnutrition is an important factor in the survival of critically ill patients. The purpose of the present study was to assess the nutritional status of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) on the days of admission and discharge via a detailed nutritional assessment. Methods: Totally, 125 patients were followed up from admission to discharge at 8ICUs in Shiraz, Iran. The patien...
متن کاملEchocardiographic Assessment of Preload Responsiveness in Critically Ill Patients
Fluid challenges are considered the cornerstone of resuscitation in critically ill patients. However, clinical studies have demonstrated that only about 50% of hemodynamically unstable patients are volume responsive. Furthermore, increasing evidence suggests that excess fluid resuscitation is associated with increased mortality. It therefore becomes vital to assess a patient's fluid responsiven...

متن کاملEffects of Pantoprazole on Systemic and Gastric Pro- and Anti-inflammatory Cytokines in Critically Ill Patients
Stress-related mucosal damage (SRMD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in critically ill patients due to the gastrointestinal blood loss. Prophylaxis of SRMD with proton pump inhibitors or histamine-2 blockers has gained widespread use in intensive care units. Both demonstrated to be effective in reducing clinically significant bleedings, while PPIs has shown to exert some anti ...
