Filter by:Despite major advances, infections remain one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in patients undergoing orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). Furthermore, data on the epidemiology, severity, and type of post-OLT infections nowadays available come from dated, monocentric, retrospective series. Finally, there is no available data focused on the critical OLT patient admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Therefore this study was conceived (1) to describe incidence, severity, epidemiology and outcomes of infections recorded in OLT patients in the ICU (first or re-admission ); (2) to identify possible risk factors and (3) to report the type of the involved microorganism with their antibiotic sensitivity pattern
This study evaluates the effect of performing medicines reconciliation on patients admitted to an intensive care unit. Half of the patients will receive a medicines reconciliation at the intensive care unit. The other half will not. All included patients will receive medicines reconciliation after transfer to the ward.
Monitoring of invasive blood pressure and / or cardiac output of resuscitation patients is required and recommended
The aim of the study is to analyze if blood protein concentration variation during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) with fluid removal can predict a decrease of 15 % of cardiac index in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Blood protein concentration, clinical data describing hemodynamic status (providing data from Pulsion medical system PiCCO2 ® monitoring), including preload dependency evaluation with passive leg raising, are collected at different times: before initiation of fluid removal, and after the first episode of hypotension or one hour after initiation of fluid removal.
