Real-time ultrasound guided percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy in critically ill patients: A step towards safety!
Sukanya Mitra, Dheeraj Kapoor, Meghana Srivastava, Harpreet SandhuIndian Journal of Critical Care Medicine 2013 17(6):367-369There are few reports and observational data that support the safety and efficacy of real-time ultrasound guided (USG) percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) when compared with unguided tracheostomy. We performed real-time USG PDT in our intensive care unit (ICU) patients with the aim of providing safe and cost effective point-of-care management. Real-time ultrasonography has the potential advantage of enabling the clinicians to define the needle path by showing displacement of tissues ahead of needle.

Should intensivist do routine abdominal ultrasound?
We describe a case of a young male with polytrauma accident who presented with small bowel dysfunction with a high gastric residual volume during enteral feeding. While searching the etiology, the intensivist performed bedside abdominal ultrasound (USG) as a part of whole body USG screening along with clinical examination using different frequency probes to examine bowel movement and ultimately found ascariasis to be the cause. This case report will boost up the wide use of bedside USG by critical care physicians in their patient workup.

Recommendations for core critical care ultrasound competencies as a part of specialist training in multidisciplinary intensive care: a framework proposed by the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM)
Critical care ultrasound (CCUS) is an essential component of intensive care practice. Although existing international guidelines have focused on training principles and determining competency in CCUS, few coun...

Critical care ultrasound training: a survey exploring the “education gap” between potential and reality in Canada
ConclusionsOur national survey is the first in Canada to explore CCUS education in critical care. It suggests that while CCUS education is rapidly developing, gaps persist. These include variation in curriculum and delivery, insufficient access to experts, and support for educators.

Evaluation of ultrasound for central venous access in ICU by an in experienced trainee
Conclusion: This study concludes that real time ultrasound guidance during IJV and SCV cannulation can achieve higher success rate, fewer complications, number of attempts, and failure rate among inexperienced anesthetists.

Optic nerve sheath diameter as a marker for evaluation and prognostication of intracranial pressure in Indian patients: An observational study
Conclusion: Bedside ocular ultrasonography for measuring ONSD can be used an early test for diagnosing raised ICP as it is a noninvasive, cost effective bedside test, which can be repeated for re-evaluation.

Thyrotoxic burden in the ICU and the value of bedside thyroid ultrasound in the diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis and thyrotoxic cardiac emergencies in critically-ill patients
Conclusion Thyrotoxicosis and thyrotoxic cardiac emergencies are not uncommon in the ICU and should be thoroughly investigated as most cases are clinically masked. Thyroid ultrasound is a feasible, rapid and accurate bedside diagnostic tool for suspected thyrotoxic emergencies in ICU.

Intranasal midazolam for rapid sedation of an agitated patient
Gentle Sunder Shrestha, Pankaj Joshi, Krishna Bhattarai, Santosh Chhetri, Subhash Prasad AcharyaIndian Journal of Critical Care Medicine 2015 19(6):356-358Rapidly, establishing a difficult intravenous access in a dangerously agitated patient is a real challenge. Intranasal midazolam has been shown to be effective and safe for rapidly sedating patients before anesthesia, for procedural sedation and for control of seizure. Here, we report a patient in intensive care unit who was on mechanical ventilation and on inotropic support for management of septic shock and who turned out extremely agitated after accidental catheter re...

Correlation of measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter using ultrasound with magnetic resonance imaging
Conclusion: In our study, we have found a good correlation between ocular USG and MRI of ONSD. The study has shown agreement with the fact that ocular sonography can be used as a noninvasive tool for detecting raised ICP with accuracy.

Hemodynamic Monitoring for the Evaluation and Treatment of Shock: What Is the Current State of the Art?
Semin Respir Crit Care Med 2015; 36: 890-898DOI: 10.1055/s-0035-1564874Hemodynamic monitoring has become a fundamental and ubiquitous, if not defining, aspect of critical care medicine practice. Modern monitoring techniques have changed significantly over the past few years and are now able to rapidly identify shock states earlier, define the etiology, and monitor the response to therapies. Many of these techniques are now minimally invasive or noninvasive. Basic hemodynamic monitoring and evaluation usually includes a focused physical examination and static hemodynamic vital signs: temperature, heart rate, respiratory rat...

An Exploratory Study of Long-Term Outcome Measures in Critical Illness Survivors: Construct Validity of Physical Activity, Frailty, and Health-Related Quality of Life Measures*
Objective: Functional capacity is commonly impaired after critical illness. We sought to clarify the relationship between objective measures of physical activity, self-reported measures of health-related quality of life, and clinician reported global functioning capacity (frailty) in such patients, as well as the impact of prior chronic disease status on these functional outcomes.
Design: Prospective outcome study of critical illness survivors.
Setting: Community-based follow-up.
Patients: Participants of the Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Study in Critical Care: Longitudinal Evaluation Study (NCT01106300), invasively venti...
