Metabolic pathways that break down molecules into smaller units, which can be oxidized to generate energy. Efferocytosis The process by which apoptotic cells are removed by phagocytic cells, primarily macrophages. Insulin resistance Impairment of proper insulin and glucose absorption by cells, which resul...
Methods: After IRB approval, we analyzed electronic records of patients that received a PiCCO device between 01/01/2006 and 31/12/2011 on one of our intensive care units (n=1,389). Thereof, 212 patients presented with symptoms of acute cardiac decompensation. Patients were attributed...

thermodilution method at baseline and at the end of the protocol. Arterial blood was collected in EDTA tubes for measurement of ANP, BNP, cGMP, PRA, aldosterone, and Ang II. After euthanasia, hearts were rapidly trimmed and left ventricles weighted for calculation of the index LV weight to ...
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the ability of clinicians involved in the provision of paediatric intensive care to estimate cardiac index in ventilated children, based on physical examination and clinical and bedside laboratory data. METHODS Clinicians were exposed to all available haemodynamic and laboratory data...

(PAC) has long been the mainstay for hemodynamic monitoring of critically ill patients; however, the usefulness of this device has been questioned with regard to its unfavorable harms/benefits ratio and thus it is nowadays abandoned in most intensive care units (ICU) around the world [5,6,7...
A method of and a device for non-invasively measuring the hemodynamic state of a subject or a human patient involve steps and units of non-invasively or minimally invasively measuring cardiac cycle period, mean arterial pressure, stroke ... R Hirsh - US 被引量: 57发表: 2010年 ...
Normal-flow, low-gradient AS is defined as an LVEF ≥50%, a normal flow state (stroke volume index ≥35 ml/m2), an AVA ≤1.0 cm2, an indexed AVA ≤0.6 cm2/m2, and a mean gradient <40 mm Hg (Figures 1 and 4) 8, 9, 10. It is observed in up to 25% of AS patients and...
