INTRODUCTION Intensive care unit mortality is strongly associated with organ failure rate and severity. The sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score is used to evaluate the impact of a successful tight glycemic control (TGC) intervention (SPRINT) on organ failure, morbidity, and thus mortality. METHODS A retrospective analysis of 371 patients (3,356 days) on SPRINT (August 2005 - Apri...

INTRODUCTION In this study, we evaluated the impacts of organ failure and residual dysfunction on 1-year survival and health care resource use using Intensive Care Unit (ICU) discharge as the starting point. METHODS We conducted a historical cohort study, including all adult patients discharged alive after at least 72 h of ICU stay in a tertiary teaching hospital in Brazil. The starting point...

Background: Post-endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) pancreatitis (PEP) has shown constant incidence throughout time, despite advances in endoscopic technology, devices, or personal skills of the operating endoscopists, with prevention and prediction severity PEP being concerns. Several prospective studies have investigated role systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) c...

Multiple organ failure (MOFE) in elderly patients is a new clinical syndrome different from multiple organ failure (MOF) caused by surgical conditions in the young and middle-aged persons. One thousand and two cases of MOFE were analyzed retrospectively and their clinical features discussed. MOFE has a long insidious course. Its main predisposing factors are pulmonary infection, heart attack, e...

BACKGROUND Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a neurological disease where the majority of the patients are critically ill. The adipokine leptin has in cerebral emergencies been related to severity of disease and to adverse outcome. The aim of this study was to examine leptin levels over time after SAH and associations to gender, age, body mass index, severity of disease, parenteral lipids, syste...

potential risks such as hypotension, catheter-related complications, hemorrhage and blood–extracorporeal circuit interactions. Several studies, however, have shown that early RRT in acute kidney injury (AKI) is associated with a better outcome in intensive care unit (ICU) patients [1-3]. A recent retrospective study published in Critical Care has questioned the use of RRT in critically ill pati...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical relevance of high values of central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference (PCO2 gap) in high-risk surgical patients admitted to a postoperative ICU. We hypothesized that PCO2 gap could serve as a useful tool to identify patients still requiring hemodynamic optimization at ICU admission. METHODS One hundred and fifteen ...
