BICARICU-2: Bicarb Infusions Curb Dialysis Needs in Acidotic AKI
The BICARICU-2 trial investigated the use of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) infusions for critically ill patients suffering from severe acidemia and Acute Kidney Injury (AKI), most often due to septic shock. While the trial,... read more
The Falling Count: Platelet Trajectory Post-CRRT Predicts Mortality in AKI
This retrospective cohort study examined the dynamic changes in platelet counts—the platelet trajectory—around the initiation of Continuous Renal Replacement Therapy (CRRT) in over 2,200 critically ill adults with Acute... read more
More Than Just Acid: Navigating the Complexities of Lactate in Critical Care
Lactate is a vital marker in critical care, but its meaning is complex, reflecting an interplay of perfusion, metabolism, organ function, and stress. Clinicians must adopt a nuanced, multimodal approach to interpretation,... read more
Workbook on Renal Replacement Therapy in ICU (ISCCM)
This workbook focuses on renal replacement therapy in ICU. The incidence of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients is increasing steeply. Acute kidney injury in this setting is associated with high morbidity and mortality.... read more
Hemodynamic and Neurological Presentations of Invasive Meningococcal Disease in Adults
Neurological and hemodynamic presentation of invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) are clinically and prognostically distinct. Recognition of these phenotypes is critical for appropriate management and prediction of outcome. Of... read more
Meropenem and Piperacillin/Tazobactam Optimized Dosing Regimens for Critically Ill Patients Receiving RRT
This study provides optimized dosing regimens for meropenem and piperacillin/tazobactam in critically ill patients receiving diverse renal replacement therapy (RRT) prescriptions. Daily dosing is dependent on the target... read more
Seraph-100 Hemoperfusion: Clearing Pathogens and Enhancing Outcomes in Sepsis
This study evaluated Seraph-100 hemoperfusion (HP) as a treatment for sepsis in intensive care unit (ICU) patients admitted after cardiac surgery for infective endocarditis (IE). Thirteen septic patients received Seraph-100... read more
Hemodynamic Stabilization Using CRRT and cIVNa Combination Therapy
Compared with conventional continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), combination therapy of CRRT and continuous intravenous sodium infusion therapy (cIVNa) increased blood pressure, enhanced urinary volume, and reduced... read more
ISCCM Manual of RRT and ECMO in ICU: A Reference Book for Practicing Intensivists
The topics were chosen to make the reader understand comprehensive management of therapies including organization, communication and other administrative issues including cost-effective therapies. This will help the practicing... read more
Total Bilirubin as a Marker for Hemolysis and Outcome in ARDS Patients Treated with vvECMO
Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), treatment with veno-venous ECMO and a total bilirubin (tBili) plasma concentration over the threshold of 3.6 mg/dl had significantly lower chances of survival, recovery... read more
Machine Learning Model for Predicting Acute Pancreatitis Mortality in the ICU
Machine learning model has been proved to be superior to existing prediction scores for mortality prediction of Acute Pancreatitis (AP). The use of most of previous ML models is limited in clinical practice, mainly due... read more
Association Between the Lactate-to-Albumin Ratio (LAR) Index and AKI Risk in Critically Ill Patients with Sepsis
Lactate-to-albumin ratio (LAR) is an emergency predictive indicator of sepsis-related mortality. An elevated LAR is associated with poor outcomes in critically ill patients. However, its predictive value for acute kidney... read more
Favorable Outcomes When Using Prolonged CPR Combined with ECPR
Extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) combined with continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) successfully rescues a patient who experienced sudden cardiac arrest for 152 minutes. ECPR is an effective and advanced form of extracorporeal... read more
Intubate Patients with Sepsis Before Midnight or When the Time Comes?
The ever-recurring decision for every clinician is to act or not to act and when to act. The balance of benefit or harm of an intervention and the optimal timing of treatment is not always clear. Intervening or not and... read more
Association Between SHR and Mortality in Patients with Heart Failure Complicated by Sepsis
