Hematologic System Dysregulation in Critically Ill Septic Patients with Anemia—A Retrospective Cohort Study
Sepsis can affect various organs as well as the hematologic system. Systemic dysregulation, present in sepsis, affects particularly red blood cells (RBCs). One of the widely available RBC indices is RBC distribution width (RDW). Sepsis may also affect hemostasis, with septic patients presenting with coagulopathy or disseminated intravascular coagulation. The aim of our study was to analyze the impact of sepsis on RBC indices and coagulation param…
Diagnostic Accuracy of Platelet-Derived Parameters in Prognostication in Neurosurgery
Introduction. Platelets (PLT) are key mediators in thrombotic and inflammatory processes. Their activity increases with size, so the mean platelet volume (MPV) can be a potential predictor of perioperative complications. The aim of the study was to assess the suitability of platelet parameters in predicting the risk of hospital death in neurosurgery. Methods. Retrospective observation covered 452 patients undergoing surgery in the period March 20…
Effect of Treatment and Nutrition on Glycemic Variability in Critically Ill Patients
Nondiabetic hyperglycemia is a dangerous metabolic phenomenon in the intensive care unit. Inattentive treatment of glycemic disorders is a serious health hazard promoting negative outcomes. The aim of our study was to assess glycemic variability and its basic determinants, and to verify its relationship with mortality in patients hospitalized in a mixed ICU (intensive care unit). The medical records of 37 patients hospitalized 13 January−29 Febru…
Ultrasonic Assessment of Optic Nerve Sheath Diameter in Patients at Risk of Sepsis-Associated Brain Dysfunction
Sepsis-associated brain dysfunction (SABD) with increased intracranial pressure (ICP) is a complex pathology that can lead to unfavorable outcome. Ultrasonographic measurement of optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) is used for non-invasive assessment of ICP. We aimed to assess the role of ONSD as a SABD screening tool. This prospective preliminary study covered 10 septic shock patients (5 men; aged 65, IQR 50-78 years). ONSD was measured bilateral…
Biomarkers Facilitate the Assessment of Prognosis in Critically Ill Patients with Primary Brain Injury
Primary injuries to the brain are common causes of hospitalization of patients in intensive care units (ICU). The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scoring system is widely used for prognostication among critically ill subjects. Biomarkers help to monitor the severity of neurological status. This study aimed to identify the best biomarker, along with APACHE II score, in mortality prediction among patients admitted to the …
Hyperosmolar Treatment for Patients at Risk for Increased Intracranial Pressure
Treatment with osmoactive agents such as mannitol or hypertonic saline (HTS) solutions is widely used to manage or prevent the increase of intracranial pressure (ICP) in central nervous system (CNS) disorders. We sought to evaluate the variability and mean plasma concentrations of the water and electrolyte balance parameters in critically ill patients treated with osmotic therapy and their influence on mortality. This cohort study covered patient…
A Questionnaire Survey of Management of Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Haemorrhage in Poland
Many discrepancies exist between the available guidelines and clinical practice in aSAH treatment in Poland. Peri-procedural management is poorly standardised. Means must be undertaken to improve patient-oriented treatment and care
The Pros and Cons of the Prediction Game
Although APACHE II and SAPS II are good predictors of ICU mortality, they failed to predict survival after discharge. Surgical patients had a better prognosis than medical ICU patients
Intraoperative Blood Pressure Variability Predicts Postoperative Mortality in Non-Cardiac Surgery—A Prospective Observational Cohort Study
Little is known about the clinical importance of blood pressure variability (BPV) during anesthesia in non-cardiac surgery. We sought to investigate the impact of intraoperative BPV on postoperative mortality in non-cardiac surgery subjects, taking into account patient- and procedure-related variables. This prospective observational study covered 835 randomly selected patients who underwent gastrointestinal ( n = 221), gynecological ( n = 368) an…
