Filter by:Recovery for intensive care survivors is limited by ongoing problems with walking, strength, fatigue, mental distress and cognitive morbidity known as 'Post Intensive Care Syndrome'. There has been increasing interest in ways that clinicians can support patients in their post ICU recovery. The investigators are undertaking a co design approach to informing the design of a recovery pathway for patients who have been admitted to the intensive care to support them in their return to home, family and working responsibilities.
Post-ICU long term sequelae- defined as "post intensive care syndrome" (PICS) manifest with a wide spectrum of psychological and cognitive impairments, affecting over two-thirds of ICU survivors and leading to increased rehospitalization, health care costs, impaired quality of life (QoL), inability to return to work and burden for families. The prevalence of post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSD), anxiety symptoms, and depression after ICU stay is high and has been demonstrated in up to 50% of post-ICU population. Therefore, over the last years, an important effort has been made for the development of ICU aftercare and follow-up clinics with the aim to detect and to minimize post-ICU sequelae and improve outcomes. However, the utility of these follow-up programs and their effect on outcome has not been completely demonstrated.
This prospective interventional randomized control study was conducted on forty patients with respiratory failure; all patients were intubated and mechanically ventilated for at least three days. Twenty patients received high protein intake using whey protein, with daily follow-up of the blood sugar level, serum electrolytes, and chemistry. ICU outcome regarding food intolerance, 30-day mortality, length of MV and ICU-stay was recorded
The purpose of this study is to determine if exercising with a music video program will improve physical functions of patients who have been discharged from an Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
To evaluate whether ketamine is a safe sedative-analgesic agent to be used in an intensive care unit (ICU) setting as compared to traditionally used agents such as propofol, opioids, and midazolam
Psychological impact of intensive care hospitalization for patients has been demonstrated during the last few years: anxiety, depression and post traumatic stress disorder. Hospitalizations during COVID-19 pandemic have been marked by factors such as confinement forbidding family members visits, stress on intensive care unit ...Those factors may have a psychological impact added to factors of long hospitalization and prolonged mechanical ventilation. For all these reasons the investigators fear that patients hospitalized in intensive care during COVID-19 pandemic develop psychological trouble with an increased risk for those who experienced COVID-19 infection. The hypothesis therapy group added to standard care might have a positive impact on psychological troubles such as anxiety, depression and post traumatic stress disorder for patients who have been hospitalized in intensive care during COVID-19 pandemic. The investigators will compare two groups: - group receiving standard of care - group receiving standard of care and therapy group
Despite the known benefits of geriatric care models among hospitalized older adults outside the intensive care unit (ICU), few studies have addressed the needs of older adults in the ICU; for example, sensory impairment, functional decline, and de-prescribing of potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs) are rarely addressed in routine ICU practice. This pilot study will evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, and barriers to implementation of a geriatrics bundle (occupational therapy, assessment and treatment of hearing impairment, and de-prescribing PIMs) in the ICU.
Since early 2020, France knows a sanitary crisis with a massive influx of COVID-19 patients admitted in Intensive Care Units (ICU). It led to a saturation of the French health system, especially in some geographic areas such as East of France or Paris region. Therefore, authorities decided to transfer some critically ill patients from these crowded ICUs to less busy regional ICUs. it was done for the first time by medical train transportation. Knowing that the investigators lack experience regarding this type of medical evacuation, regarding the high number of transferred patients, with such a logistic effort, the investigators decided to study this phase of the COVID-19 sanitary crisis in order to draw a feedback. So far, there are no data in the literature regarding this topic.
It has been reported in several studies that ionized hypomagnesemia is associated with higher morbidity and mortality rates. During continuous renal replacement therapy with regional citrate anticoagulation (CRRT-RCA), the loss of magnesium has been reported to not be covered by magnesium concentration in ordinary dialysis fluid. This may lead to ionized hypomagnesemia. However the incidence of ionized hypomagnesemia in patients requiring CRRT-RCA remains unclear and need to be estimated to determine if ionized magnesium monitoring could be of interest. This study aim to assess the incidence of ionized hypomagnesemia induced by CRRT-RCA.
While international guidelines have indicated that use of a routine invasive strategy was favored for high-risk patients with NSTE-ACS and for all STE- ACS, the lower risk patients successfully reperfused and carrefully selected may perhaps not benefit of this systematic strategy. Evaluation of complications occurring in a contemporary population of ACS may help to evaluate the need of ICU strategy. Coupled with favorable outcomes in many patients, these data may be an opportunity for testing of strategies to refine triage to less costly hospital care units. The investigators thus want to compare, through an observational and prospective study, the event rate of two groups of patients with ACS admitted to ICU . Patients are classified as "high risk" and "low risk" according to specific medical criteria validated in the literature. The study will include all consecutive patients admitted for NSTACS and STACS admitted to the intensive care department of the Montpellier university hospital with the diagnosis of ACS confirmed by coronary angiography. Our primary goal is to compare the percentage of patients with at least one serious clinical event between the high and low risk groups. A serious event is defined by the occurrence within 7+/-5 days of one of the following criteria: death all causes, serious neurological or hemorrhagic complications, hemodynamic instability and severe heart failure, rhythm or sustained or poorly tolerated conduction disorders requiring therapeutic intervention, painful recurrence requiring new coronary angiography, secondary transfer to intensive care for any reason. Our hypothesis is that low-risk patients will have very few events and no fatal events and that they could not require intensive care unit admission .
