Clinical Features and Outcome of Infective Endocarditis in a University Hospital in Romania
Conclusions: Staphylococcus aureus IE was associated with the presence of large vegetations, prosthetic valve endocarditis and intracardiac abscess. Coagulase negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) infection was associated with prosthetic valve dysfunction. Streptococcus gallolyticus etiology correlated with ischemic embolic stroke and the presence of large vegetations. Cardiovascular surgery was recommended in 67.4% of patients but was performed only on half of them. In hospital death occurred in 33.7% of patients and independent predictors of mortality were congestive heart failure and septic shock.PMID:33578787 | DOI:10.3390/medicina57020158

Pulse-induced contour cardiac output (PiCCO) combined with passive leg raising test predicting fluid resuscitation in adult patients with septic shock
Publication date: Available online 17 July 2017Source: The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical SciencesAuthor(s): Si-Dong ZhanAbstractTo investigate the clinical value of pulse-induced contour cardiac output (PiCCO) monitoring combined with passive leg raising (PLR) test in predicting fluid responsiveness so as to guide fluid resuscitation in adult septic shock patients managed by rehydration test. One hundred and forty five adult septic shock patients, who were informed to receive PLR tests and rehydration tests. Patients were divided into two groups based on the observation of fluid responsiveness in the rehydration test. Param...
