Gastric intramucosal pH as a therapeutic index of tissue oxygenation in critically ill patients

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied 260 patients admitted to ICUs with APACHE II scores of 15-25 and found that gastric intramucosal pH (pHi) is associated with morbidity and mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

How is mechanical ventilation employed in the intensive care unit? An international utilization review.

TL;DR: The primary indications for Mechanical ventilation and the ventilator settings were remarkably similar across countries, but the selection of modes of mechanical ventilation and methods of weaning varied considerably from country to country.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resolution of ventilator-associated pneumonia: prospective evaluation of the clinical pulmonary infection score as an early clinical predictor of outcome.

TL;DR: Serial measurements of CPIS can define the clinical course of VAP resolution, identifying those with good outcome as early as day 3, and could possibly be of help to define strategies to shorten the duration of therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gastric mucosal pH as a prognostic index of mortality in critically ill patients.

TL;DR: Measurements of gastric intramucosal pH on ICU admission, and again 12 hrs later, have a high specificity for predicting patient survival in this ICU patient population (77.8% to 80.6%) and may be a useful addition to patient monitoring in the ICU.
Journal ArticleDOI

Increasing arterial blood pressure with norepinephrine does not improve microcirculatory blood flow: a prospective study

TL;DR: The results suggest that the increase in MAP above 65 mmHg is not an adequate approach to improve microcirculatory perfusion and might be harmful in some patients.
