Intensive and Critical Care Nursing of a COVID-19 Patient in Turkey: A Case Study
CONCLUSIONS: Nursing care interventions were applied for gas exchange, risk of decreased tissue perfusion, excess fluid volume, and constipation nursing diagnosis. It was observed that there were improvements and a decrease in symptom severity after the interventions were applied for the symptoms developing in the case. This presentation is expected to be a source for collaborative nursing care for other cases diagnosed with COVID-19 and intensive care indications.PMID:35905423 | DOI:10.1097/DCC.0000000000000540

Central Venous-to-Arterial CO2 Gap Is a Useful Parameter in Monitoring Hypovolemia-Caused Altered Oxygen Balance: Animal Study.
Authors: Kocsi S, Demeter G, Erces D, Nagy E, Kaszaki J, Molnar Z Abstract Monitoring hypovolemia is an everyday challenge in critical care, with no consensus on the best indicator or what is the clinically relevant level of hypovolemia. The aim of this experiment was to determine how central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) and central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference (CO2 gap) reflect hypovolemia-caused changes in the balance of oxygen delivery and consumption. Anesthetized, ventilated Vietnamese minipigs (n = 10) were given a bolus followed by a continuous infusion of furosemide. At baseline and then...

Safety of peripheral Administration of Phenylephrine in a neurologic intensive care unit: A pilot study
Publication date: Available online 13 April 2016 Source:Journal of Critical Care Author(s): Tim Delgado, Brianne Wolfe, Gary Davis, Safdar Ansari Integral to the management of the neurocritically injured patient is the prevention and treatment of hypotension, maintenance of cerebral perfusion pressure, and occasionally blood pressure augmentation. When adequate volume resuscitation fails to meet perfusion needs, vasopressors are often utilized to restore end organ perfusion. This has historically necessitated central venous access given well-documented incidence of extravasation injuries associated with peripheral ad...

Postinterventional critical care management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
Purpose of review: Subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured aneurysm (aSAH) is a complex disorder with the potential to have devastating effects on the brain as well as other organ systems. After more than 3 decades of research, the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms remain incompletely understood and important questions remain regarding the evaluation and management of these patients. The purpose of this review is to analyze the recent literature and improve our understanding of certain key clinical aspects. Recent findings: Growing body of evidence highlights the usefulness of CT perfusion scans in the diagnosis of v...

The crashing patient: hemodynamic collapse
Purpose of review Rapid restoration of tissue perfusion and oxygenation are the main goals in the resuscitation of a patient with circulatory collapse. This review will focus on providing an evidence based framework of the technological and conceptual advances in the evaluation and management of the patient with cardiovascular collapse. Recent findings The initial approach to the patient in cardiovascular collapse continues to be based on the Ventilate–Infuse–Pump rule. Point of care ultrasound is the preferred modality for the initial evaluation of undifferentiated shock, providing information to narrow the diffe...

Brain Multimodality Monitoring: A New Tool in Neurocritical Care of Comatose Patients.
Authors: Tasneem N, Samaniego EA, Pieper C, Leira EC, Adams HP, Hasan D, Ortega-Gutierrez S Abstract Neurocritical care patients are at risk of developing secondary brain injury from inflammation, ischemia, and edema that follows the primary insult. Recognizing clinical deterioration due to secondary injury is frequently challenging in comatose patients. Multimodality monitoring (MMM) encompasses various tools to monitor cerebral metabolism, perfusion, and oxygenation aimed at detecting these changes to help modify therapies before irreversible injury sets in. These tools include intracranial pressure (ICP) monitor...

Improving Compliance With Protocol-Driven Care in Adult Traumatic Brain Injury Patients by Implementing an Electronic Clinical Compliance Monitoring Tool.
CONCLUSIONS: Traumatic brain injury-specific education and frequent assessments improved compliance between TBI-2012 and TBI-2017, resulting in a higher percentage in overall survivors in the latter group. PMID: 31789987 [PubMed - in process]

Research and Reviews in the Fastlane 043
This study claimed a sensitivity and specificity of 100% in this group of patients questioning the traditional “CT, LP” approach to managing patients with clinical suspicion for SAH. However, the study has flaws and we eagerly await external validation. Recommended by: Salim R. Rezaie Emergency Medicine Williams CM, Maher CG, Latimer J et al. Efficacy of paracetamol for acute low-back pain: a double-blind, randomised controlled trial. Lancet. 2014 Jul 23. pii: S0140-6736(14)60805-9. doi: 10.1016/S0140-6736(14)60805-9.

Research and Reviews in the Fastlane 046
This study looked at initiating cooling prehospital after out of hospital cardiac arrest with resuscitation. No surprise, these patients cooled faster, reaching 34 degrees > 1 hour faster! Unfortunately, this early cooling did not show a benefit in survival or neurologic outcome. This was true for both VF and non-VF arrest. Prehospital cooling reduced core temperature by hospital arrival and reduced the time to reach a temperature of 34°C, but did not improve survival or neurological status among patients resuscitated from prehospital VF or those without VF Recommended by: Salim Rezaie, Zach Repanshek The R&R i...

Pediatric Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressures During Aeromedical Transport
Objectives: Cuffed endotracheal tubes (ETTs) are frequently used in children, allowing fewer air leaks and helping prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia. Tracheal mucosal perfusion is compromised at an ETT cuff pressure (ETTCP) of 30 cm H2O with blood flow completely absent above 50 cm H2O. Our objective was to compare multiple pediatric-sized ETTCPs at ground level and various altitudes during aeromedical transport. Methods: Simulating the transport environment, 4 pediatric-sized mannequin heads were intubated with appropriately sized cuffed ETTs (3.0, 4.0, 5.0, 6.0) and transported by helicopter or nonpressurized fixe...
