Vital Signs and Serum Biomarkers Model Outperforms Shock Index in HCI Prediction
In this study of surgical ICU patients with concern for ongoing bleeding, a prediction model using serial VS and biomarkers outperformed the SI and may help identify those requiring hemorrhage control interventions (HCI). This... read more
Analgosedation and Delirium Practices in Critically Ill Patients
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the management of analgosedation was characterized by the predominant use of targeted protocols that favored priority on mild and dynamic sedation in critically ill patients. During the pandemic... read more
Hemodynamic Monitoring Using Echocardiography in the Critically Ill
The hemodynamic evaluation of patients with acute circulatory failure and respiratory failure has in the past usually been performed using invasive procedures but in recent years less invasive monitoring devices have been... read more
Workbook on Hemodynamic Management
This workbook focuses on hemodynamics management. Hemodynamic management should be aimed at minimizing the ischemic injury. Cerebral ischemia impairs the brain's ability to autoregulate its circulation through vasoconstriction... read more
