Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic metformin treatment is associated with reduced myocardial infarct size in diabetic patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction.

TL;DR: Chronic metformin treatment is associated with reduced MI size compared to non-metformin based strategies in diabetic patients presenting with STEMI and might have additional beneficial effects beyond glucose lowering efficacy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical examination for diagnosing circulatory shock
TL;DR: Single variables obtained by clinical examination should not be used when estimating CO because physician's educated guesses of CO based on unstructured clinical examination are like the ‘flip of a coin’.
Journal ArticleDOI
The diagnostic accuracy of clinical examination for estimating cardiac index in critically ill patients : the Simple Intensive Care Studies-I
Bart Hiemstra,Geert Koster,Renske Wiersema,Yoran M. Hummel,Pim van der Harst,Harold Snieder,Ruben J. Eck,Thomas Kaufmann,Thomas Scheeren,Anders Perner,Jørn Wetterslev,Anne Marie G. A. de Smet,Frederik Keus,Iwan C. C. van der Horst +13 more
TL;DR: For estimation of cardiac index, clinical examination was found to be insufficient in multivariable analyses and in diagnostic accuracy tests, and additional measurements such as critical care ultrasonography remain necessary.
Journal ArticleDOI
Should the ultrasound probe replace your stethoscope? A SICS-I sub-study comparing lung ultrasound and pulmonary auscultation in the critically ill
Eline G M Cox,Geert Koster,Aidan Baron,Thomas Kaufmann,Ruben J. Eck,T Corien Veenstra,Bart Hiemstra,Adrian Wong,Thomas C. Kwee,Jaap E. Tulleken,Frederik Keus,Renske Wiersema,Iwan C. C. van der Horst +12 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the diagnostic accuracy of auscultation was better in non-ventilated than in ventilated patients, and that the agreement between lung ultrasound and auscultsation is poor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Clinical examination, critical care ultrasonography and outcomes in the critically ill: cohort profile of the Simple Intensive Care Studies-I.

TL;DR: The value of clinical and haemodynamic variables obtained by physical examination and critical care ultrasound that currently guide daily practice in critically ill patients are unraveled in the Simple Intensive Care Studies-I.
