In December 2019, a group of patients with the acute respiratory disease was detected in Wuhan, Hubei Province of China. A month later, a new beta-coronavirus was identified as the cause of the 2019 coronavirus infection. Despite China's efforts to contain the disease, it spread rapidly outside the
Decision to perform this observational study was made due to the lack of information on the local incidence and risk factors for the development of immediate postoperative delirium (IPD).
A literature review was done to study the already implicated perioperative causative factors as well as other
INTRODUCTION The clinical manifestations of preeclampsia (PE) are the consequence of endothelial dysfunction. [1, 2] Different hemodynamic patterns have been described, which includes: high vascular resistance, cardiac output (CO) alterations, relative hypovolemia, and increased risk for pulmonary
Introduction and project description:
Primary graft dysfunction (PGD) in lung transplant patients is described as acute pulmonary damage occurring early in lung transplantation (in the first 72 hours) (1, 2), sometimes referred to as ischemia - reperfusion injury (1). It is characterized by
Hemodialysis (HD) is the most worldwide prescribed renal replacement therapy for patients with end-stage renal disease. This treatment that relies heavily on technology has undergone major modifications in the last five decades in order to improve patients' outcomes. Those changes that aimed at
Extracorporeal circulation (ECC) in neonates and infants undergoing cardiac surgery for the correction or palliation of cardiac defects is characterized by temperature variation, activation of coagulation and inflammatory cascades, hemodilution.
An excessive dilution of circulating mass determines a
I. Introduction / Specific Aims Preeclampsia is a major cause of maternal mortality (15-20 % in developed countries) and acute and long-term morbidity for the mother and newborn. It is a multi-system disorder characterised by abnormal vascular response to placentation, associated with increased
Background and Rationale, clinical evidence to date:
All forms of shock and especially septic shock, in which tissue metabolic demands are not fulfilled by blood supply, are main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide and develops in one third of the patients admitted to the ICU. Not only is
3 Background The use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) during cardiac surgery elicits generalized non-specific systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and subsequent activation of the cytokine, complement, and coagulation-fibrinolytic cascades (1). In approximately 11% of the patients SIRS may
- Acute heart failure is a critical illness for which current treatments are suboptimal.
- The various symptoms are related to inadequate cardiac output and usually include left ventricular overload with pulmonary oedema, interstitial fluid accumulation and tissue oedema (as indicated by frequent
The main objective of our prospective double blind, randomized, controlled trial is to compare the rate of alveolar fluid clearance, a marker of alveolar edema fluid resorption, in 2 groups of patients with ARDS and suffering from hypovolemia: those treated with albumin and those treated with
The study is designed to help detect if there is an advantage in giving one type of resuscitative fluid versus another in the setting of post-operative pediatric cardiac patients. The two types of fluid being compared are crystalloid solution (normal saline) and colloid solution (5% albumin). The
