Biomarkers
2023 13 Mar
Biomarkers are quantifiable indicators of physiological or pathological processes in the body. They can be useful in establishing a diagnosis, assessing disease progression and a patient's condition and guide therapeutic interventions. However, a great deal could still be done to further improve the utilisation of biomarkers in critical care.... Read more
Biomarkers for ARDS. What is New?
2023 13 Mar
Despite several biomarkers having been studied for diagnosis and/or prognosis of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), their extensive use has not been established. Better knowledge of the pathophysiology of ARDS and acute lung injury (ALI) may help develop new biomarkers. Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is characterised by... Read more

Biomarkers of Infection in the Intensive Care Unit
2023 13 Mar
Biomarkers are an area of rapid discovery in critical care medicine today. They have the potential to improve our ability to identify and manage patients at increased risk of organ failure and death. This article provides an overview of biomarkers of infection in the intensive care unit. The heterogeneity of sepsis makes its identification... Read more
Biomarkers in Sepsis - Present and Future
2023 13 Mar
A biomarker defines a measurable indicator of a patient's medical situation that can be measured precisely and accurately. Biomarkers provide value for diagnosis, prognosis, early disease detection, risk stratification, suitable treatment (theragnostic), and trial improvement for patients with sepsis or presumed sepsis. Introduction... Read more
