French law related to patient's rights and end of life: Pediatric intensive care unit's health professionals' opinions.
CONCLUSION: This study is the first to show that caregivers of French PICUs have good knowledge of the French law concerning the end of life. Yet, there is still confusion about the limits of practice during the end-of-life period. PMID: 24315107 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Leveraging Opportunities for Critical Care in Resource-Limited Settings
Critical or intensive care is, in its simplest rendition, the provision of medical care for the severely ill patient. In its more advanced forms, critical care can provide needed support to temporarily do the work of almost any vital end organ, such as dialysis to mimic the actions of the native renal system, or ventilation and oxygenation to mimic the native actions of the respiratory system. In advanced health systems, a critical care unit is often relied on to provide escalated care for patients at risk of imminent death in order to prevent an untimely demise.

Use of Inpatient Palliative Care Services in Patients With Advanced Cancer Receiving Critical Care Therapies.
Conclusions: Use of IPC was low in the cohort who received CCTs with poor outcomes, although data on outpatient palliative care services is lacking. Predictors of IPC use may be used to identify patients who may benefit from these services. PMID: 30181417 [PubMed - in process]

Prognostic factors and predictive scores for 6-months mortality of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation recipients admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit
ConclusionAdmission of HSCT patients to PICU is still associated with poor outcome and 69% of patients died within 6 months. Need for respiratory support and dialysis are associated with poor outcome. Prediction of 6-months survival is difficult, especially during a first PICU admission. However, on subsequent PICU admissions pSOFA and O-PRISM scores might be useful to predict mortality. These scores should be prospectively evaluated in further studies to verify whether they can identify pediatric HSCT recipients profiting most from transferal to the PICU.

Considerable exposure to the endocrine disrupting chemicals phthalates and bisphenol-A in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.
Abstract Critical care medicine has largely benefited from plastic-containing medical devices. However, bisphenol-A (BPA) and phthalates present in the plastics can leach from such devices. We hypothesized that intensive care unit (ICU) patients are exposed to BPA and phthalates through (plastic) medical devices. Serum (n=118) and urine (n=102) samples of adult ICU patients (n=35) were analyzed for total BPA and phthalate metabolites (PMs). Our results showed that adult ICU patients are continuously exposed to phthalates, such as di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), as well as to BPA, albeit to a lesser extent. This ...

Association of Hyperchloremia With Hospital Mortality in Critically Ill Septic Patients
Conclusions: In critically ill septic patients manifesting hyperchloremia (Cl ≥ 110 mEq/L) on ICU admission, higher Cl levels and within-subject worsening hyperchloremia at 72 hours of ICU stay were associated with all-cause hospital mortality. These associations were independent of base deficit, cumulative fluid balance, acute kidney injury, and other critical illness parameters.

Looking Back on 10 Years of Palliative Medicine
by Drew RosielleJuly 1, 2006 was the day I became a staff palliative care physician at the Medical College of Wisconsin, after having completed my fellowship there. So it's been 10 years I've been doing this, and I've been reflecting a little on what's changed in those years. So here are my thoughts. I don't want to pretend all of these are profound, most of them have been said by others before, and better, but things have changed in these 10 years - I've changed - and I decided to write a little about it. Much of this is just my own perceptions of things, a lot of them are my own misconceptions probably, and I don't want ...

Predictors of the Use of Specific Critical Care Therapies in Patients With Metastatic Cancer.
CONCLUSIONS: Higher burden of comorbidities, weight loss, liver disease, lung cancer subtype, and diagnosis of infections were associated with higher odds of receiving CCTs or IMV. These findings may help clinicians determine in whom to prioritize discussions around goals of care, especially in the group without a DNR status. PMID: 28040717 [PubMed - in process]

Intensive Care Admissions for Children With Enterovirus and Human Parechovirus Infections in the United Kingdom and The Republic of Ireland, 2010–2014
Enteroviruses and human parechoviruses usually cause mild, self-limiting illnesses in children but can occasionally cause severe disease. During 2010–2014, 104 children in the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland were admitted to a pediatric intensive care unit with severe enterovirus and human parechovirus infection; 40% had neurologic symptoms, 20% respiratory failure, 16% cardiac complications and 11% septic shock. Annual number of cases and incidence increased in the 5-year period, from 0.6/1000 pediatric intensive care unit admissions (12 cases) in 2010 to 1.8/1000 (36 cases) in 2014. Most cases (n = 86, 83%) ...

Ombitasvir-Paritaprevir-Ritonavir-Dasabuvir (Viekira Pak)–Induced Lactic Acidosis
Conclusions: Ombitasvir-paritaprevir-ritonavir-dasabuvir may cause type B lactic acidosis. Further study is warranted to identify risk factors and elucidate the mechanisms of excessive lactate production.

Changes in acute blood purification therapy in critical care: republication of the article published in the Japanese Journal of Artificial Organs
AbstractAcute blood purification therapy is an essential artificial organ in critical care. In the review article, looking back on the history, we describe our present knowledge and techniques of acute blood purification therapy in critical care. The topics include continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF), online HDF as an artificial liver support, blood purification therapy aiming to remove pathogenic substances of sepsis, a procedure for connecting a CRRT device into an extra-corporeal membrane oxygenation circuit, and replacement fluid for CHDF. We also raise remaining issues and clarify the future direction of acute blood p...

Controversies Surrounding Renal Replacement Therapy in the Critically Ill Patient
Semin Respir Crit Care Med 2019; 40: 662-672 DOI: 10.1055/s-0039-1697966Acute kidney injury (AKI) commonly occurs in the intensive care unit and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Patients with AKI often require initiation of dialysis to control electrolytes, metabolic abnormalities, and volume status. This review will discuss controversies in renal replacement therapy (RRT), including timing of dialysis initiation, dialysis modality and dose, nonrenal indications for dialysis, and the patient population best suited for RRT therapy.

Critical Care Nephrology: Core Curriculum 2020
Publication date: Available online 22 January 2020Source: American Journal of Kidney DiseasesAuthor(s): Benjamin R. Griffin, Kathleen D. Liu, J. Pedro TeixeiraThe intensive care unit (ICU) is a common source of high-acuity nephrology consultations. Although advanced chronic kidney disease is associated with increased ICU mortality, the prognosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) requiring renal replacement therapy is far worse, with short-term mortality rates that often exceed 50%. As such, it is essential that practicing nephrologists be comfortable caring for critically ill patients. This Core Curriculum article emphasizes th...
