BACKGROUND
Since 2000, resuscitation guidelines remain uniform across all cardiac arrest patients, focusing on the delivery of chest compressions to a standardized rate and depth and algorithmic vasopressor dosing. Although the concept of goal-directed hemodynamic optimization as a treatment
Introduction The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently declared SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) disease as an international alarm public health emergency. This ongoing pandemic of COVID-19 disease is devastating, despite widespread implementation of control measures, which is creating a challenge for
Hypothesis
Stellate ganglion blockade in patients with moderate and severe brain damage:
1. Increases the diameter of the brain arteries and blood flow through the brain
2. Do not interfere with intracranial pressure
3. Reduces aseptic inflammatory reaction of the damaged brains measured by IL-6 and
GENERAL OBJECTIVE To demonstrate that a CRT-targeted FR is associated with less positive fluid balances, organ dysfunctions, and similar improvement of markers of tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxia, when compared to a lactate- targeted FR.
SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES
1. To determine if normalization of CRT is
STUDY BACKGROUND The plethysmographic variation index (PVi) is a measure of the respiratory-induced variations in the plethysmographic waveform. Interestingly, in mechanically ventilated patients and under certain conditions, PVi may reflect fluid responsiveness (FR) (Loupec T Crit Care Med 2011;
Delirium is an acute and subacute comorbid syndrome characterized by decreased awareness and cognitive dysfunction accompanied by attention deficit. It varies from 20% to 80% in patients entering the ICU. If delirium occurs in the intensive care unit, complications such as unintended intubation,
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is an unfortunately common complication of cardiac surgery that occurs in up to 40% of patients and results in increased mortality, prolonged ICU and hospital length of stay. AKI after cardiac surgery is not a benign complication, increasing mortality from 1% to 19% in

Specific aims
This pilot RCT will serve to test the hypothesis that application of
We seek to assess the clinical determinants and molecular/genetic mechanisms underlying known individual differences in BP response to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). This will result in a more personalized approach to BP management of OSA patients. Hypertension is a common consequence of OSA. Animal
Early Goal Directed Therapy using a Physiological Holistic View. A multicenter study in Latin America: The ANDROMEDA-SHOCK Study
Hypothesis Peripheral perfusion guided resuscitation in septic shock is associated with lower mortality, less organ dysfunctions, less mechanical ventilation (MV), less
Study design:
A prospective randomized clinical double-blind study using a computer generated randomization will be conducted in a Women's Health Hospital, Assuit University. Neither the doctor "investigator" nor the participant "parturient" will be aware of the group allocation or the drug used.
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a major cause of blindness and visual impairment in children in both developing and developed countries around the world. ROP is a multifactorial disease characterized by perturbation of normal vascular development in the retina. The pathogenesis of ROP is
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a clinically relevant disease that is associated with cardiovascular, metabolic, and neurocognitive consequences. OSA is a very common disease; the Wisconsin Sleep Cohort Study found that OSA affects 2% of women and 4% of men aged 30-60. However, these data predate
The investigators will study:
1. Resistance of isolated right atrial pectinate muscle trabeculae to simulated hypoxia/reperfusion in functional organ bath model
2. Resistance of isolated right atrial pectinate muscle trabeculae to induction of apoptosis by simulated hypoxia/reperfusion
3. Resistance
