Non invasive adjustment of fluid status in critically ill patients on renal replacement therapy. Role of Electrical Cardiometry
Conclusion: Electrical Cardiometry is an evolving noninvasive tool for adjusting fluid status of critically ill patient on RRT using thoracic fluid content as an indicator of fluid status that could be used to avoid hemodynamic instability and persistent volume overload and congestion during and after HD session.

2-D Speckle tracking in the assessment of left and right ventricular functions in hemodialysis versus recently diagnosed uremic patients with preserved systolic function
Publication date: Available online 9 September 2016 Source:The Egyptian Journal of Critical Care Medicine Author(s): Hatem Abdel Rahman Helmy Ali, Nady Abdel Razik Mohamad, Hanan Sharaf El-Deen Mohammad, Samir Kamal Abdul Hamid Several studies have demonstrated that uremic patients who have preserved left ventricular (LV) systolic function could still have subtle systolic dysfunction. In our study, we assessed the right ventricular (RV) and LV myocardial functions measured by conventional echocardiography and two-dimensional (2D) longitudinal speckle-tracking in hemodialysis and non-dialysis recently diagnosed uremic pati...

Large in-transient left ventricular thrombus due to anabolic steroid-induced cardiomyopathy
We report a 34-year-old bodybuilder athlete with cardiomyopathy and massive LV thrombosis. The thrombosis extended to LVOT and protruded through the aortic valve in systole and posed a high risk of systemic emboli. The patient underwent open heart surgery, and the clot was removed. The operation was complicated by low cardiac output syndrome that managed by intra-aortic balloon pump and high dose of inotropic drugs and hemodialysis. The patient died on the 15 th day after surgery with multiorgan failures.

Hemodialysis for lactic acidosis
We present the case of a young female who presented with life-threatening lactic acidosis secondary to hematological malignancy. Timely initiation of hemodialysis was lifesaving. The case highlights the importance of considering Type B lactic acidosis (in this case secondary to a hematological malignancy) and also initiating renal replacement therapy when routine measures are ineffective.

Capillary leak syndrome following snakebite envenomation
V Udayabhaskaran, ET Arun Thomas, Bhagya ShajiIndian Journal of Critical Care Medicine 2017 21(10):698-702Capillary leak syndrome is a unique complication that follows Russell's viper envenomation. This syndrome has a very high fatality rate and is characterized by parotid swelling, chemosis, periorbital edema, hypotension, albuminuria, hypoalbuminemia, and hemoconcentration. This syndrome is frequently recognized from the southern parts of India, especially from the state of Kerala. It has been postulated that a vascular apoptosis inducing component of Russell's viper venom that is not neutralized by...

Treatment of acute kidney injury complicating septic shock with EMiC2 high-cutoff hemofilter: Case series
Conclusion: This case series shows that HCO-CVVH/CVVHD using EMiC2 hemofilter may provide good cytokine modulation, when used along with good quality standard sepsis therapy. A further large-scale prospective randomized controlled trial is recommended.

Hyperammonemia presenting as refractory status epilepticus after lung transplant in a patient positive for Ureaplasma parvum
We present the case of a 65-year-old male with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis who developed refractory status epilepticus secondary to hyperammonemia following lung transplant. The patient presented on postoperative day 7 with super-refractory status epilepticus and normal computed tomography scan of the head. Hyperammonemia was suspected due to refractory seizures and confirmed with peak ammonia level >1000 μmol/L. Despite aggressive treatment, the patient developed global cerebral edema and died. Postmortem investigations revealed that the patient was positive for Ureaplasma parvum. Additional studi...

The Association Between Low Admission Peak Plasma Creatinine Concentration and In-Hospital Mortality in Patients Admitted to Intensive Care in Australia and New Zealand*
Objective: To evaluate the independent association between low peak admission plasma creatinine concentrations and in-hospital mortality in patients requiring critical care in Australia and New Zealand. Design: Multicenter, binational, retrospective cohort study. Setting: Data were extracted from the Australian and New Zealand Intensive Care Society Centre for Outcome and Resource Evaluation adult patient database. Patients: All available records for the period 2000 to 2013 were utilized. The following exclusion criteria were applied: all readmission episodes (within the same hospital stay), missing in-hospital mortality, ...

Nursing care in a high-technological environment: Experiences of critical care nurses
Management of technical equipment, such as ventilators, infusion pumps, monitors and dialysis, makes health care in an intensive care setting more complex. Technology can be defined as items, machinery and equipment that are connected to knowledge and management to maximise efficiency. Technology is not only the equipment itself, but also the knowledge of how to use it and the ability to convert it into nursing care. The aim of this study is to describe critical care nurses’ experience of performing nursing care in a high technology healthcare environment.

Early High-volume Hemofiltration vs. Standard Care for Postcardiac Surgery Shock (The HEROICS Study).
CONCLUSIONS: For patients with postcardiac surgery shock requiring high-dose catecholamines, the early HVHF onset for 48 h, followed by standard-volume until resolution of shock and recovery of renal function, did not lower day-30 mortality and did not impact other important patient-centered outcomes, compared to a conservative strategy with delayed CVVHDF initiation only for patients with persistent, severe acute kidney injury.

Risk factors for mortality in patients admitted to intensive care units with pneumonia.
CONCLUSION: In this study using data from a multicenter thromboprophylaxis trial, we found that male sex, higher APACHE II score on admission, chronic heart failure, and dialysis were independently associated with risk of hospital mortality in patients admitted to ICU with pneumonia. While high illness severity score, presence of a serious comorbidity (heart failure) and need for an advanced life support (dialysis) are not unexpected risk factors of mortality, male sex might necessitate further exploration. More studies are warranted to clarify the effect of these risk factors on survival in critically ill patients admitte...
