Critical Illness Is Associated With Impaired Gallbladder Emptying as Assessed by 3D Ultrasound
Objective: To quantify gallbladder dysfunction during critical illness. Design: Prospective observational comparison study of nutrient-stimulated gallbladder emptying in health and critical illness. Setting: Single-centre mixed medical/surgical ICU. Patients: Twenty-four mechanically ventilated critically ill patients suitable to receive enteral nutrition were compared with 12 healthy subjects. Interventions: Participants were studied after an 8-hour fast. Between 0 and 120 minutes, high-fat nutrient (20% intralipid) was infused via a postpyloric catheter into the duodenum at 2 kcal/min. Measurements and Main Results:...

Bedside ultrasound to detect central venous catheter misplacement and associated iatrogenic complications: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Insertion of a central venous catheter (CVC) is common practice in critical care medicine. Complications arising from CVC placement are mostly due to a pneumothorax or malposition. Correct position is currentl...

Weaning the patient: between protocols and physiology
Purpose of review Ventilator weaning forms an integral part in critical care medicine and strategies to shorten duration are rapidly evolving alongside our knowledge of the relevant physiological processes. The purpose of the current review is to discuss new physiological and clinical insights in ventilator weaning that help us to fasten liberation from mechanical ventilation. Recent findings Several new concepts have been introduced in the field of ventilator weaning in the past 2 years. Approaches to shorten the time until ventilator liberation include frequent spontaneous breathing trials, early noninvasive m...

A Comparison of Thrombosis and Hemorrhage Rates in Patients With Severe Respiratory Failure Due to Coronavirus Disease 2019 and Influenza Requiring Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
OBJECTIVES: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation is a lifesaving therapy for patients with severe acute respiratory distress syndrome refractory to conventional mechanical ventilation. It is frequently complicated by both thrombosis and hemorrhage. A markedly prothrombotic state associated with high rates of venous thromboembolism has been described in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (coronavirus disease 2019) infection. These rates have currently not been described during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in comparison to other viral pneumonias. DESIGN: Retrospective observational...

Overview of point-of-care abdominal ultrasound in emergency and critical care
AbstractPoint-of-care abdominal ultrasound (US), which is performed by clinicians at bedside, is increasingly being used to evaluate clinical manifestations, to facilitate accurate diagnoses, and to assist procedures in emergency and critical care. Methods for the assessment of acute abdominal pain with point-of-care US must be developed according to accumulated evidence in each abdominal region. To detect hemoperitoneum, the methodology of a focused assessment with sonography for a trauma examination may also be an option in non-trauma patients. For the assessment of systemic hypoperfusion and renal dysfunction, point-of-...

Prevalence and Risk Factors for Liver Involvement in Individuals with PiZZ-Related Lung Disease.
CONCLUSION: Significant chronic liver disease is common in PiZZ individuals with lung disease and can be screened effectively by a combination of conventional tests of liver function, platelet count and liver ultrasound. PMID: 23262512 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
