- ENFERMEDAD CORONARIA: -CUIDADOS CRÍTICOS: -Unidad de cuidados intensivos dedicada al corazón pueden mejorar los resultados post-op // Impact of 24-hour in-house intensivists on a dedicated cardiac surgery intensive care unit
Unidad de cuidados intensivos dedicada al corazón pueden mejorar los resultados post-op 16 de octubre 2009 Los resultados sugieren que los resultados de la cirugía cardíaca puede mejorar si los ...
- CUIDADOS CRÍTICOS: -Hay que rebajar la -agresividad- según el riesgo-beneficio
El intensivista del nuevo milenio ha de ser agresivo o conservador? "Depende mucho de la patología, edad e historia del paciente, pero lo ideal es una intensidad proporcionada a la situación ...
- FULLTEXT: -PEDIATRIC NEONATOLOGICAL CRITICAL CARE: -Moderate hypothermia to treat perinatal asphyxial encephalopathy
Background Whether hypothermic therapy improves neurodevelopmental outcomes in newborn infants with asphyxial encephalopathy is uncertain. Methods We performed a randomized trial of infants who ...
- CUIDADOS CRÍTICOS & MEDICINA RESPIRATORIA: -La ventilación no invasiva es más segura para los pacientes respiratorios en la UCI
Según un estudio del Instituto de Investigaciones Biomédicas August Pi i Sunyer (Idibaps), la ventilación no invasiva mejora la supervivencia de pacientes con enfermedades respiratorias crónicas ...
- FULLTEXT: -CRITICAL CARE: -GLUCOSE CONTROL: -Glucose control in critically ill patients
To the Editor: In the Normoglycemia in Intensive Care Evaluation–Survival Using Glucose Algorithm Regulation (NICE-SUGAR) study (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00220987 [ClinicalTrials.gov] ), ...
- FARMACOLOGÍA EN EMERGENCIAS Y RCP: -La alternativa a la adrenalina en RCP aún no es una realidad
Uno de los retos de los intensivistas es disponer de vasopresores más selectivos que sean una alternativa a la adrenalina en la resucitación cardiopulmonar. Las investigaciones en este campo se ...
- CUIDADOS CRÍTICOS: -Los antioxidantes logran minimizar el efecto del estrés oxidativo en críticos
Es recomendable una administración diaria de nutrientes antioxidantes en pacientes con terapia de reemplazo renal y en los posquirúrgicos donde los fenómenos de isquemia/reperfusión en la cirugía ...
- CRITICAL CARE: -ACUTE SEPTIC LUNG INJURY & LOSARTAN EFFECTS: -Losartan prevents sepsis-induced acute lung injury and decreases activation of nuclear factor[kappa]B and mitogen-activated protein kinases.
Lack of specific and efficient therapy leads to the high mortality rate of acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Losartan is a potent pharmaceutical drug for ...
- CRITICAL CARE: - Elimination of C5a prevents intestinal mucosal damage and attenuates neutrophil infiltration in local and remote organs.
The complement C5a pathway has been shown to be an important mediator of inflammation and tissue injury. To further understand the role of C5a receptor (C5aR) pathway in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) ...
- CRITICAL CARE: -Toll-Like receptor 4 regulates heme oxygenase-1 expression after hemorrhagic shock induced acute lung injury in mice: requirement of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase activation.
Acute lung injury (ALI) leading to respiratory distress is a common sequela of shock or trauma. The toll-like receptors (TLRs) stand at the interface of innate immune activation in the settings of ...
- CRITICAL CARE: -Deferoxamine mimics the pattern of hypoxia-related injury at the microvasculature
Oxygen is essential for the maintenance of life, and when oxygen levels decline to critical levels, a program of complex mechanisms exists to i) sense hypoxia, ii) respond to minimize acute tissue ...
- CRITICAL CARE: SEPTIC SHOCK: -Coupled plasma filtration adsorption in experimental peritonitis-induced septic shock
The coupled plasma filtration adsorption (CPFA) was developed as an adsorptive hemopurification method aimed at nonselective removal of circulating soluble mediators potentially involved in the ...
- EXPERIMENTAL CRITICAL CARE IN ACUTE LUNG INJURY AND POSTINJURY HYPERINFLAMMATION: -Hypertonic saline attenuates TNF-[alpha]-Induced NF-[kappa]B activation in pulmonary epithelial cells.
Resuscitation with hypertonic saline (HTS) attenuates acute lung injury (ALI) and modulates postinjury hyperinflammation. TNF-[alpha]-stimulated pulmonary epithelium is a major contributor to ...
- CLINICAL CRITICAL CARE: -Estimated right ventricular systolic time intervals for the assessment of right ventricular function in acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Right ventricular (RV) systolic time intervals (STIs) have been shown to accurately reflect RV function in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The measurement of RVSTIs ...
- CLINICAL CRITICAL CARE: -Urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein in septic shock: effect of polymyxin b-immobilized fiber hemoperfusion
We aimed to determine retrospectively whether urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) levels are altered in patients with septic shock or severe sepsis without shock and whether ...
