Filter by:The aim of the study is to examine whether treatment with extracorporeal life support (ECLS) in addition to revascularization with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or alternatively coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and optimal medical treatment is beneficial in comparison to no ECLS in patients with severe infarctrelated cardiogenic shock with respect to 30-day mortality
A prospective longitudinal study similar to the one performed by Claushuis and colleagues (2016) will be performed in order to further understand the epidemiology and clinical relationship between platelet levels and mortality secondary to septic shock in a different population. The primary objective is to compare the mortality due to septic shock between patients with thrombocytopenia and patients with normal platelet levels in the ICU of the General Hospital of León, Gto. The secondary objectives are to identify the association between mortality due to septic shock and mild, moderate and severe thrombocytopenia in patients admitted to the ICU at 30, 60 and 90 days. Research questions Is there an association between thrombocytopenia and mortality due to septic shock in patients admitted to the critical medicine service? Our hypotheses are that: 1. Mortality from septic shock and thrombocytopenia at 30, 60 and 90 days will be higher in patients with thrombocytopenia than in patients normal platelet counts. Is there an association between the degree of thrombocytopenia and mortality from septic shock in patients admitted to the critical medicine service? Our hypotheses are that: 1. Mortality from septic shock and thrombocytopenia at 30, 60 and 90 days will be higher in patients with mild thrombocytopenia than in patients without thrombocytopenia. 2. Mortality from septic shock and thrombocytopenia at 30, 60 and 90 days will be higher in patients with moderate thrombocytopenia than in patients without thrombocytopenia. 3. Mortality from septic shock and thrombocytopenia at 30, 60 and 90 days will be higher in patients with severe thrombocytopenia than in patients without thrombocytopenia.
Sepsis and septic shock are public health problems worldwide that represents an excessive cost for health systems. Despite the great technological and research advances, mortality can reach up to 80% in patients with multiple organ failure (FOM). Therapeutic studies focused on evaluating the usefulness of the use of antioxidants have shown different outcomes and results. This randomized clinical trial in patients with septic shock at two general intensive care units try to evaluate the usefulness of four different antioxidant therapies added to the conventional treatment, which includes: n-acetyl cysteine, vitamin C, vitamin E and melatonin. Measurement of parameters before and after treatment of oxidative stress includes nitrates and nitrites, lipid peroxidation, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione s transferase, extracellular activity of SOD, GSH concentration and evaluation of total antioxidant capacity. The investigators will also evaluate the clinical impact of antioxidant therapy with the SOFA score.
compare the outcomes of SWL for renal and upper lumbar ureteric stones using the alternating bidirectional approach versus the standard approach.
The purpose of this study is to explore different mechanisms for anaphylaxis and find novel biomarkers for this hypersensitivity syndrome. The study participants are patients with anaphylaxis, patients with mild allergic reactions, and patients with febrile transfusion reactions. The investigators will also include a group of healthy controls.
This pilot study aims to examine the relationship between continuously measured CareGuide™ muscle oxygen saturation (SmO2), tissue pH and data provided from standard monitoring techniques during the care of subjects with suspected established (Cohort A) or emerging (Cohort B) shock in the intensive care unit (ICU).
Comparison of noninvasive cardiac output monitor (NICOM, Cheetah Medical) with Edwards FloTrac minimally-invasive cardiac output monitor in predicting fluid responsiveness in sepsis and septic shock.
As an approximate of the difference between venous-to-arterial CO2 tension (∆PCO2), ∆PCO2 is proportional to CO2 production and inversely related to cardiac output (Fick equation). Anaerobic CO2 production is thought to occur when tissue hypoxia is present, mostly because of buffering of bicarbonate ions by the protons produced in excess secondary to the hydrolysis of adenosine triphosphate. Therefore ∆PCO2 has been proposed as a marker of tissue hypoxia.
The aim of this study is to investigate the effects milrinon and levosimandan on n heart function in septic cardiomyopathy and how norepinephrine affects the left and right ventricular function in patients with septick shock using pulmonary artery catheter, conventional and strain echocardiography.
CHIC study's purpose is to compare the efficiency, in terms of blood pressure stability, of three changeovers of norepinephrine used routinely in ICU. The three techniques are: - Quick change - Double pumping - Smart infusion pumps
