Abnormal Breathing Patterns Predict Extubation Failure in Neurocritically Ill Patients
In neurologically injured patients, predictors for extubation success are not well defined. Abnormal breathing patterns may result from the underlying neurological injury. We present three patients with abnormal breathing patterns highlighting failure of successful extubation as a result of these neurologically driven breathing patterns. Recognizing abnormal breathing patterns may be predictive...
متن کاملHemoglobin levels and transfusions in neurocritically ill patients: a systematic review of comparative studies
INTRODUCTION Accumulating evidence suggests that, in critically ill patients, a lower hemoglobin transfusion threshold is safe. However, the optimal hemoglobin level and associated transfusion threshold remain unknown in neurocritically ill patients. METHODS We conducted a systematic review of comparative studies (randomized and nonrandomized) to evaluate the effect of hemoglobin levels on mo...
متن کاملBedside Retained Radial Artery Catheter Removal in a Hemodynamically Unstable Neurocritically-ill Patient: a Case Report. .
Radial artery insertion is a common procedure in intensive care units. We describe a case of a critically-ill 73-year-old man in the neurocritical care unit with a subarachnoid hemorrhage whose radial arterial catheter tip was transected from the main line and was successfully managed with bedside retrieval of the catheter.
متن کاملPercutaneous Dilatational Tracheostomy in Critically Ill Patients Taking Antiplatelet Agents
Background: Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) has been considered as an alternative to surgical tracheostomy in intensive care units (ICU), and is widely used for critically ill patients who need prolonged mechanical ventilation. Few studies have reported on PDT performed in critically ill patients taking antiplatelet agents. Our goals are to assess not only the feasibility and safet...
متن کاملQuality of history taking in patients with aortic dissection.
STUDY OBJECTIVES Aortic dissection generally is an acute catastrophe. Rapid diagnosis is critical. We hypothesized that the quality of history taking contributes to the accuracy of diagnosis in patients with dissection. DESIGN Retrospective chart review of 83 patients, whose diagnosis of aortic dissection was confirmed by autopsy, surgery, CT scan, echocardiogram, or angiogram. The quality of...
