Fluid Boluses May Improve CRT
Several studies have validated capillary refill time (CRT) as a marker of tissue hypoperfusion, and recent guidelines recommend CRT monitoring during septic shock resuscitation. Therefore, it is relevant to further explore... read more
10 Reasons for Pharmacy Professionals Presence in the ICU
The momentum exists for establishing and expanding ICU pharmacy practice throughout Europe. A first step should be a White Paper, describing the roles and key priorities for ICU pharmacy professionals. Education should... read more
Simple Blood Test Indicating Sepsis Relapse
Sepsis is often not adequately diagnosed at the early stage when it could still be potentially avoidable. In this report, we describe the dramatic hematological changes found in the blood of a sepsis survivor just after discharge... read more
Intracranial Pressure: Current Perspectives on Physiology and Monitoring
Intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring is now viewed as integral to the clinical care of many life-threatening brain insults, such as severe traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and malignant stroke. It serves... read more
Plasma Exchange in the ICU
In this narrative review, we discuss the relevant issues of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) in critically ill patients. For many conditions, the optimal indication, device type, frequency, duration, type of replacement... read more
Pulmonary Aeration and Posterior Collapse Assessed by Electrical Impedance Tomography in Healthy Children
The aim of this study was to evaluate the changes in the lung aeration estimated by electrical impedance tomography as the end-expiratory lung impedance after anesthesia induction in pediatric patients. This was a prospective,... read more
A Decade of Progress in Critical Care Echocardiography
Critical care echocardiography (CCE) is now widely accepted by the critical care community as a valuable tool in the ICU and emergency department, and in perioperative settings. It allows rapid and accurate diagnosis,... read more
