Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine wether the combined measurement of the soluble form of TREM-1, PCT and the determination of neutrophils CD64 expression could diagnose sepsis in critically ill patients.
Immature Platelet Fraction (IPF) is a new value in CBC blood tests Recent Studies showed that this value may be another prognostic factor in critically ill patients such as those admitted to ICU, or those with neutropenic Fever. The purpose of the study is to check if the IPF may be used as a prognostic Factor in these patients
This prospective investigation studies changes in regional cerebral hemodynamics and oxygenation as a function of cardiac output and blood pressure in intensive care patients.
This study was to determine efficacy of the non-returning catheter valve for reducing catheter associated urinary tract infection compared with conventional urine bag in critically ill patients.
Background: Conditions of reduced perfusion are characterized by redistribution of blood flow away from the skin to more vital organs. Study Objectives: To assess the efficacy of a non-invasive, dermal blood flow (DBF) monitor in detecting changes in perfusion in critically ill patients. Preliminary Study Study Population: critically ill patients in a general ICU
Null hypothesis: (1) there is no difference in rates of ICU-acquired infection based on using disposable or cleaned, reusable ECG leadwires and (2) In cardiac surgical telemetry floors, there is no difference in false or nuisance sightings or crisis calls based on using disposable or cleaned, reusable ECG leadwires.
ICG- Leberfunktionstest versus "neue" Biomarker als prognostischer Marker bei intensivmedizischen Patienten
To compare the differences of urinary nitrogen excretion, nitrogen balance and clinical outcomes between tightly insulin therapy and conventional insulin therapy in the ICU.
The investigators propose an interventional multicentric (23 ICUs) study measuring the impact of a consultation at the end of ICU stay for the patients and his/her families on the prevalence of symptoms of PTSD and anxiety or depression 3 months and one year after discharge. Patients will be randomly assigned to a intervention or control group. In the intervention group, the patient and his/her family will benefit from an conference by the intensivist at the end of the ICU stay, regarding information about the progress of his stay in ICU, his orientation after discharge, the possibility of consulting a GP, etc. Patients and proxies will be interviewed by phone three months and one year after discharge from ICU. Main instruments are Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Impact of Events Scale Revised.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a pain training program and systematic measurement of pain scores on actual pain levels and the use of analgesics in critically ill patients.
