There is controversy regarding the mean arterial pressure (MAP) goals that should be targeted in the treatment of hepatorenal syndrome (HRS.) We conducted a study to assess different MAP targets in HRS in the intensive care unit (ICU). This is a prospective randomized controlled pilot trial. ...
approximately 15% of patients post-COVID-19 present with physiological and psychological symptoms of exhaustion (i.e. dyspnoea, fatigue, dizziness) persisting for several months post-infection [1]. These sequelae may be
Blood flow was measured in the anterior bladder walls and adjusted by arterial blood pressure. The adjusted blood flow was significantly greater in the control and AI-SW groups than in the AI group at the three points of saline infusion (0, 0.5, and 1.0 ml).(C) Masson’s trichrome ...
ms), systolic (SBP, mmHg), diastolic (DBP, mmHg) and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP, mmHg), stroke volume (SV, mL/beat), cardiac output (CO, L/min), and systemic vascular resistance (SVR, dyn × s/cm5) were derived from the Nexfin monitor (BMEYE B.V., The Netherlands)...
(ie, arterial pressure lower than 65 mm Hg, with the need for vasopressor medicines, oliguria, or a lower level of consciousness) were included. Patients younger than 18 years were not included due to the known lower morbidity and mortality from COVID-19 in this group.22Patients were ...
Hypotension episodes will be identified according to the NKF-K/DOQI definition (a decrease in systolic BP by ≥20 mMHg or a decrease in mean arterial pres- sure by ≥10 mMHg associated with one or more of the following symptoms: abdominal discomfort, nau- sea, vomiting, muscle cramps, ...
The primary outcome was the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 21 score (disability range, 0 [no symptoms] to 6 [death]; minimum clinically important difference 1 point) assessed at 90 days. Secondary outcomes were number of participants with neurological improvement (≥4-point decrease on the ...
In the multivariable analyses, we adjusted for age, sex, body mass index (BMI), mean arterial pressure (MAP), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), C-reactive protein (CRP), N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), hemoglobin, alanine ...
The causes of ventricular fibrillation (VF) are not yet elucidated, and it has been proposed that different mechanisms might exist. Moreover, conventional analysis methods do not seem to provide time or frequency domain features that allow for recognitio
Some believe thatsuperficial veinthrombosis (SVT) is a benign, common process that does not require treatment unless the symptoms do not resolve on their own. However, occasionally, superficial vein thrombosis may be associated withdeep vein thrombosis(DVT) and may go undetected. ...
