Ventilator-parameters-during-or-to-icu-transition
2024 05 Mar
Lung-protective mechanical ventilation strategies are beneficial both in the operating room (OR) and the ICU. However, there are variations in ventilator management practices between these settings, leading to adjustments in ventilator parameters when patients transition from the OR to the ICU. The impact of changes in ventilator settings during...Read more

In a study appearing in JAMA Network Open , researchers found that primary care clinicians can significantly lower cardiovascular risk for patients with severe mental illness (SMI) when using a clinical decision support (CDS) system. Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death for those with schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, and...Read more

2016 29 Aug
Findings from the OPTImal CArdiac REhabilitation (OPTICARE) trial presented at the ESC Congress 2016 show that enhanced cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programmes that include a year of group or personal lifestyle and fitness coaching did not improve cardiovascular risk scores more as compared to a standard 3-month programme in patients recovering from...Read more

2015 17 Aug
A new study conducted with more than 83,000 patients reports that men whose low testosterone levels were restored to normal through gels, patches, or injections have a lower risk of heart attack, stroke, or death from any cause as compared to men who remain untreated. The study is published in the European Heart Journal. The findings also show...Read more

CVD is the top cause of death in women in Europe Cardiovascular disease (CVD) kills 51% of women in Europe and breast cancer kills 3%, bucking the misperception that CVD is a man’s disease. CVD is the top killer in women and is largely preventable. The call for women to reduce their risk comes from the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) on International...Read more

2015 05 Feb
A blood profiling technique has uncovered four new biomarkers that improve the prediction of risk for heart attack or stroke within the next 15 years. The study has been published in the journal Circulation. The blood screening technology can help doctors identify people who would benefit from early treatment. In addition, the high-throughput...Read more
