Single-photon emission computed tomography imaging for brain death donor counseling
Vijayanand Palaniswamy, Suganya Sadhasivam, Cibi Selvakumaran, Priyadharsan Jayabal, SR AnanthIndian Journal of Critical Care Medicine 2016 20(8):477-479Organ donation awareness is very poor in India. We have a high demand for transplant organs with poor supply. Apnea test is the confirmatory test for brain death in our country. The Transplantation of Human Organs Act does not support any ancillary testing for the confirmation of brain death in our country. Radionuclide scan is used widely in western countries as a confirmatory test. We in our institution used this as a tool for family counseling with successful conversion rate.

Airway complications of total artificial heart
Vikas Pathak, Colin Donovan, Rajiv MalhotraIndian Journal of Critical Care Medicine 2017 21(2):94-95The total artificial heart is the mechanical device which is used as a bridge to the heart transplant in patients with biventricular failure. Due to the mechanical nature of the device, patients receiving total artificial heart (TAH) require to be on anticoagulation therapy. Hemorrhage and coagulopathy are few of the known complications of TAH.

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...

Nutrition management of acute postliver transplant recipients
Conclusion: There are scant data on nutrition management in acute post-LT phase. The present study provides the framework for the formulation of continuous, patient-centric, aggressive nutrition management interventions for acute post-LT recipients.

Critical Care Management of Gastrointestinal Bleeding and Ascites in Liver Failure
Semin Respir Crit Care Med 2018; 39: 566-577 DOI: 10.1055/s-0038-1672200Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding and ascites are two significant clinical events that frequently present in critically ill patients with chronic liver failure or decompensated cirrhosis. GI bleeding in patients with cirrhosis, particularly portal hypertensive-associated bleeding, carries a high short-term mortality (15–25%) and requires early initiation of a vasoactive agent and antibiotics as well as timely endoscopic management. Conservative transfusion strategies and adequate airway protection are also imperative to assist in bleeding control. The p...

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, ...

Brain-Dead Donors on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation*
Conclusions: Brain-dead patients with ongoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation have more severe medical conditions than those without extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. However, kidney graft survival and function were no different than usual. Brain-dead patients with ongoing extracorporeal membrane oxygenation are suitable for organ procurement.

Case Study: Daily review of telemonitoring data by a critical care nurse improves outcomes in a patient with Class IV, Stage D heart failure with reduced ejection fraction receiving home intravenous dobutamine for palliation.
ConclusionsDaily critical care nurse telemonitoring resulted in nearly daily interventions with gradual stabilization of weight and vital signs, no decline in respiratory status, and no hospitalizations throughout 69 days of service. Of particular significance is the fact that telemonitoring improved the patient's compliance to his treatment plan, which resulted in an evaluation for a left ventricular assist device placement.

A Canadian survey of critical care physicians' hemodynamic management of deceased organ donors.
CONCLUSION: We observed important variability in self-perceived practices of ICU physicians in the hemodynamic management of deceased donors, particularly in the treatment of the autonomic storm, in the prescription of hormone therapy, and in the administration of inotropes.

Critical Care of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant Patients
Life-threatening complications are frequent after hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT), and optimum critical care is essential to ensuring good outcomes. The immunologic consequences of HSCT result in a markedly different host response to critical illness. Infection is the most common cause of critical illness but noninfectious complications are frequent. Respiratory failure or sepsis are the typical presentations but the sequelae of HSCT can affect nearly any organ system. Pattern recognition can facilitate anticipation and early intervention in post-HSCT critical illness. HSCT critical care is a multidisciplinary en...
