Ceftazidime-avibactam to treat life-threatening infections by carbapenem-resistant pathogens in critically ill mechanically ventilated patients
(2020)Data on the effectiveness of ceftazidime-avibactam (CAZ-AVI) in critically ill, mechanically ventilated patients are limited. The present retrospective observational cohort study, which was conducted in two general intensive ... -
The clinical significance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae rectal colonization in critically ill patients: From colonization to bloodstream infection
(2019)Purpose. To highlight the clinical significance of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKP) rectal colonization by examining the risk factors for CRKP rectal colonization and subsequent bloodstream infection (BSI) ... -
A Critical Appraisal of the Effects of Anesthetics on Immune-system Modulation in Critically Ill Patients With COVID-19
(2021)Purpose: The aim of the present article was to briefly summarize current knowledge about the immunomodulatory effects of general anesthetics and the possible clinical effects of this immunomodulation in patients with ... -
Early gastrostomy reduces the rate of ventilator-associated pneumonia in stroke or head injury patients
(2005)Presence of a nasogastric tube is a risk factor for the development of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Alternatively, gastrostomy can be used for administration of enteral feedings. To determine whether early ... -
Handgrip force and maximum inspiratory and expiratory pressures in critically ill patients with a tracheostomy
(2021)Background The association between peripheral striated muscle strength and respiratory muscle strength has been confirmed in a number of disorders. However, this association is unknown in intensive care unit patients with ... -
Impairment in selenocysteine synthesis as a candidate mechanism of inducible coagulopathy in COVID-19 patients
(2021)Coagulopathy has recently been recognized as a recurring complication of COVID-19, most typically associated with critical illness. There are epidemiological, mechanistic and transcriptomic evidence that link Selenium with ... -
Intra-Abdominal Hypertension is a Risk Factor for Increased VAP Incidence: A Prospective Cohort Study in the ICU of a Tertiary Hospital
(2020)Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) might be increased in cases with intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH). However, despite animal experimentation and physiological studies on humans in favor of this hypothesis, ... -
Intravenous colistin use for infections due to MDR Gram-negative bacilli in critically ill paediatric patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(2019)Background: Data are limited regarding the clinical effectiveness and safety of intravenous colistin for treatment of infections due to MDR Gram-negative bacilli (GNB) in paediatric ICUs (PICUs). Methods: Systematic review ... -
Molecular characteristics and predictors of mortality among Gram-positive bacteria isolated from bloodstream infections in critically ill patients during a 5-year period (2012–2016)
