Journal ArticleDOI

Monitoring sedation status over time in ICU patients: reliability and validity of the Richmond Agitation-Sedation Scale (RASS).

TL;DR: This is the first sedation scale to be validated for its ability to detect changes in sedation status over consecutive days of ICU care, against constructs of level of consciousness and delirium, and correlated with the administered dose of sedative and analgesic medications.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of Sedation With Dexmedetomidine vs Lorazepam on Acute Brain Dysfunction in Mechanically Ventilated Patients: The MENDS Randomized Controlled Trial

TL;DR: In mechanically ventilated ICU patients managed with individualized targeted sedation, use of a dexmedetomidine infusion resulted in more days alive without delirium or coma and more time at the targeted level of sedation than with a lorazepam infusion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparison of two fluid-management strategies in acute lung injury

TL;DR: Although there was no significant difference in the primary outcome of 60-day mortality, the conservative strategy of fluid management improved lung function and shortened the duration of mechanical ventilation and intensive care without increasing nonpulmonary-organ failures.
Journal ArticleDOI

An Imbalance between the Excretion of Thromboxane and Prostacyclin Metabolites in Pulmonary Hypertension

TL;DR: An increase in the release of the vasoconstrictor thromboxane A2, suggesting the activation of platelets, occurs in both the primary and secondary forms of pulmonary hypertension.
