Filter by:This was a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled parallel study.
The researchers aim to compare different algorithms to predict postoperative pneumonia in elderly patients and to assess the risk of pneumonia in elderly patients.
Mechanically ventilated patients are at risk of developing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA), the diagnosis of which motivates the implementation of specific treatments, is one of the causes of VAP. The hypothesis of the study is that the incidence of IPA is 12.4%. For each patient presenting with a suspicion of VAP and requiring a bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL), the diagnosis of API will be evaluated by biological examinations performed on blood and BAL. Medical and surgical history as well as clinical and biological data will be collected for 28 days or until discharge from the ICU.
The study will systematically evaluate how an emergency manual-a collection of checklists and fact sheets-affects the performance of resuscitation teams during the management of priority one patients in an emergency department.
The present study is a prospective case-control study. Patients were enrolled post lung transplantation and alveolar lavage fluid was obtained within 48 hours of the patient's surgery, divided into aliquots and subjected to macrogenomic sequencing, routine microbiological testing and cytokine testing. Patients were divided into pulmonary infection and non-pulmonary infection groups based on whether they had a co-infection at the time of sampling. Pulmonary infection was used as the primary study endpoint. To describe and compare the characteristics of the lung microbiota in the two groups and to determine whether variation in the lung microbiota could predict the development of lung infection and prognosis in patients in the early post-transplant period.
Correlation between antibiotic resistance and incidence of sepsis in community acquired pneumonia in RICU patients.
Assess prevalence of anemia among pneumonic children aged two months up to two years.
Mechanical ventilation is a life support system developed to support or restore normal lung functions. Children who are connected to mechanical ventilator, separation from family in intensive care environment, getting away from the usual home environment, noise of devices, invasive interventions, etc. as a result of many medical diagnosis and treatment procedures, they experience stress because they are exposed to painful stimuli. These painful stimuli are a powerful source of stress and trauma. Stress is a factor that increases the susceptibility to physical and mental tension and illness due to physical, chemical or emotional factors. The stress experienced by children in the Pediatric Care Intensive Unit (PICU) due to painful stimuli can lead to an increase in the secretion of glucocorticoids, especially cortisol, and may cause long-term neurodevelopmental problems and adverse events such as an increase in heart rate, an increase in catabolization and a decrease in oxygen saturation values may occur. Pharmacological and non-pharmacological pain management is required to reduce and minimize pain during short-term, mild to moderately painful procedures in children in the intensive care unit. For this reason, non-nutritive sucking, which is one of the non-pharmacological methods used in infants / children, has vital importance in controlling pain, providing comfort and neurobehavioral control, increasing physiological stability and oxygenation, reducing stress, effective functioning of the digestive system, and reducing the risk of aspiration. Considering the benefits of the pacifier and intubated children between 12-36 months in PICU; Considering the suggestions that they need to calm and soothe themselves, their coordination in sucking and swallowing reflexes is not good, there are risks of aspiration, their weight gain and discharge are prolonged, the physiological stability caused by stress is impaired, and pacifiers can be used up to the age of 3 years, this study was conducted with The aim of this study was to examine the effects of modified pacifier use on pain, physiological variables and stress level in children between the ages of 12-36 months.
To determine whether a strategy of adding venovenous ECMO to mechanical ventilation, as compared to mechanical ventilation alone, increases the number of intensive care free days at day 60, in patients with moderate to severe acute hypoxic respiratory failure.
The aim of the work will be to assess the combined effect of enteral or parenteral nutrition enriched with immunonutrition on the outcome of critically ill patients with pneumonia in comparison with patients who received standard care of nutrition in intensive care unit.
