CRT Kinetics After Fluid Infusion
2022 29 Aug
Peripheral tissue hypoperfusion is a strong predictor of poor outcomes in patients suffering from severe conditions, such as sepsis, cardiac arrest or cardiogenic shock. The evaluation of peripheral tissue perfusion is very important in identifying shock patients. This can be done at the bedside with either semi-quantitative tools such as the mottling... Read more
Sepsis in Critical Care
2022 16 Mar
Sepsis is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the intensive care unit. Nearly 14 million adults and 2.5 million children survive sepsis each year worldwide. In addition, sepsis survivors are known to experience poor long-term outcomes and often develop functional limitations thereafter. It is thus evident that the long-term impact... Read more
RESCUE-IHCA Mortality Prediction Score for IHCA
2022 01 Feb
A new study aimed to develop and validate a score to accurately predict the probability of death for adult extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR). ECPR is widely used as a rescue technique among patients with refractory cardiac arrest and in patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) and out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). ECPR...
