12/01/2022 - "This article illustrates the ways in which critically ill patients with HF have helped to shape contemporary CICUs throughout the world and explores how these very patients will similarly help to inform the future maturation of these specialized critical care units. "
01/01/2022 - "Advances in pediatric intensive care have led to markedly improved survival rates in critically ill children. "

08/01/2008 - "Most of the public and trauma professionals would prefer palliative care when doctors determine that aggressive critical care would not be beneficial in saving their lives. "
10/13/2023 - "A statistically significant improvement was found for only one scheme: in the clinical area of trauma, the incentive scheme increased the probability of being discharged from Adult Critical Care within four hours of being clinically ready by 7%. "
05/16/2013 - "This may be increasingly beneficial in trauma models in which the trauma surgeons also serve as critical care intensivists."
07/01/2010 - "Analysis of terrorism injury data demonstrates that these injuries, suffered by both children and adults, are characterized by increased complexity, with higher severity, higher in-patient mortality rates, and significantly greater use of precious hospital resources such as intensive care, operating rooms, CT, and days of hospitalization. "
07/01/2004 - "Integration of trauma care into the surgical residency program has been valuable both for function of the trauma center and as a teaching enhancement for trauma and critical care as reflected by significantly improved American Board of Surgery In-Training Examination scores. "

01/01/2013 - "Measures and trials to prevent and treat sepsis may be most effective in the surgical intensive care unit population."
12/01/2009 - "Just as simple tools have helped reduce bloodstream infections, our hope is that the toolkit presented here will help critical care teams to meet the important communication needs of ICU families."
01/01/2022 - "Assigning a specialized physical therapist to sepsis patients at an advanced emergency critical care center significantly shortened the number of days until a patient can begin rehabilitation after hospital admittance and improved activities of daily living after hospital discharge. "
06/01/2017 - "The combination of the two cell cycle arrest markers [TIMP-2]·[IGFBP7] in the urine shows good results in the risk prediction of AKI in different clinical settings (intensive care medicine, sepsis, cardiac surgery, emergency department). "
05/01/2017 - "Although critical care for severe sepsis is likely cost-effective in LMIC setting, more detailed evaluation at both at a macro- and micro-economy level is necessary. "

01/01/2022 - "These outcomes should raise awareness for anesthesiologists, obstetricians, pediatricians and intensive care physicians to identify severe cases of COVID-19 in pregnant women during childbirth and to take the necessary precautions to ensure the best treatment of mother and neonate. "
06/01/2021 - "• Most neonates with COVID-19 improved with supportive care, though a subset required intensive care, emphasizing the need for cautious monitoring and management."
01/01/2021 - "According to the metabolic equivalence classification of students, a negative and significant relationship between students' physical activity levels (inactive < minimally active < very active) and the risk of getting the positive results for COVID-19 (yes < no) and the severity of COVID-19 (in intensive care < in the hospital < mildly at home) was found. "
08/01/2022 - "A psychological crisis and emergency intervention helped critical care workers during the COVID-19 pandemic to verbalise and integrate the situation, providing strategies to cope with the experience with a high level of satisfaction from the participants assisted. "
10/01/2021 - "A targeted, asynchronous curriculum on critical care COVID-19 management led to significantly increased confidence, decreased stress, and improved knowledge among resident trainees and APPs. "

01/01/2021 - "Key findings in our model simulation results indicate that (i) universal social isolation measures appear effective in reducing total fatalities only if they are strict and the number of daily interpersonal contacts is reduced to very low numbers; (ii) selective isolation of only the elderly (at higher fatality risk) appears almost as effective as universal isolation in reducing total fatalities but at a possible lower economic and social impact; (iii) an increase in the number of critical care capacity directly avoids fatalities; (iv) the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) appears to be effective to dramatically reduce total fatalities when adopted extensively and to a high degree; (v) extensive random testing of the population for more complete infection recognition (accompanied by subsequent self-isolation of infected aware individuals) can dramatically reduce the total fatalities only above a high percentage threshold that may not be practically feasible."
06/01/1993 - "In contrast, SDD as originally conceived may well prove cost-effective for the prevention of infection in intensive care although neither the optimum regimen nor the patient group who would gain most benefit have been defined. "
04/01/2015 - "The emerging data from LMIC suggest that the incidence of coexisting perinatal infections in NE is no different to that in high-income countries, and that cooling can be effectively provided without tertiary intensive care and ventilatory support; however, the data on safety and efficacy of cooling are limited. "
12/01/2002 - "There was a significant reduction of 55% risk of hospitalisation with VRS infections in the treated group, but no significant reduction in the number of stays in intensive care or deaths. "
11/01/2016 - "Whereas colonization of intensive care patients with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in German ICUs has remained at a constant level in recent years and therapeutic options have improved, colonization and infections with MDR gram-negative bacteria and vancomycin-resistant enterococci are increasing year by year.
