Journal ArticleDOI
A prospective randomised multi-centre controlled trial on tight glucose control by intensive insulin therapy in adult intensive care units: the Glucontrol study
Jean-Charles Preiser,Philippe Devos,Sergio Ruiz-Santana,Christian Melot,Djillali Annane,Johan Groeneveld,Gaetano Iapichino,Xavier Leverve,Gérard Nitenberg,Pierre Singer,Jan Wernerman,Michael Joannidis,Adela Stecher,René Chioléro +13 more
TL;DR: In this prematurely stopped and therefore underpowered study, there was a lack of clinical benefit of intensive insulin therapy, associated with an increased incidence of hypoglycaemia, as compared to a 7.8–10.0 mmol/L target.
Journal ArticleDOI
A bedside scoring system (“Candida score”) for early antifungal treatment in nonneutropenic critically ill patients with Candida colonization*
Cristóbal León,Sergio Ruiz-Santana,Pedro Saavedra,Benito Almirante,Juan Nolla-Salas,Francisco Álvarez-Lerma,José Garnacho-Montero,MA León +7 more
TL;DR: In a large cohort of nonneutropenic critically ill patients in whom Candida colonization was prospectively assessed, a “Candida score” >2.5 accurately selected patients who would benefit from early antifungal treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intensive care adult patients with severe respiratory failure caused by Influenza A (H1N1)v in Spain.
Jordi Rello,Alejandro Rodríguez,Pedro Ibañez,Lorenzo Socias,Javier Cebrian,Asunción Marques,José Antonio Chamizo Guerrero,Sergio Ruiz-Santana,Enrique Marquez,Frutos Del Nogal-Saez,Francisco Álvarez-Lerma,Sergio F. Martínez,Miquel Ferrer,Manuel Luis Avellanas,Rosa María Granada,Enrique Maraví-Poma,Patricia Albert,Rafael Sierra,Loreto Vidaur,Patricia Ortiz,Isidro Prieto del Portillo,Beatriz Galván,Cristóbal León-Gil +22 more
TL;DR: Over a 5-week period, influenza A (H1N1)v infection led to ICU admission in 32 adult patients, with frequently observed severe hypoxemia and a relatively high case-fatality rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Usefulness of the "Candida score" for discriminating between Candida colonization and invasive candidiasis in non-neutropenic critically ill patients: a prospective multicenter study.
Cristóbal León,Sergio Ruiz-Santana,Pedro Saavedra,Beatriz Galván,Armando Blanco,Carmen Barroso Castro,Carina Balasini,Aránzazu Utande-Vázquez,F. J. Molina,Miguel A. Blasco-Navalproto,Maria J. López,Pierre Emmanuel Charles,Estrella Martín,María Adela Hernández-Viera +13 more
TL;DR: In this cohort of colonized patients staying >7 days, with aCS <3 and not receiving antifungal treatment, the rate of IC was <5%.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multicenter, prospective, randomized, single-blind study comparing the efficacy and gastrointestinal complications of early jejunal feeding with early gastric feeding in critically ill patients.
J.C. Montejo,Teodoro Grau,Jose A. Acosta,Sergio Ruiz-Santana,Mercè Planas,Abelardo García-de-Lorenzo,Alfonso Mesejo,Manuel Cervera,Carmen Sanchez-Alvarez,Rafael Nunez-Ruiz,Jorge Lopez-Martinez +10 more
TL;DR: Gastrointestinal complications are less frequent in ICU patients fed in the jejunum and early enteral nutrition using a nasojejunal route seems not to be an efficacious measure to decrease nosocomial pneumonia in critically ill patients.
