Robotic telepresence in the intensive care unit - Critical Care
2005年6月16日 · In our preliminary assessment of robotic telepresence, we used the robot to make telepresence rounds, with the doctor located remotely. Doing so, we documented that robotic telepresence is associated with increased duration of direct, face-to-face supervision of patients by the senior level physician, and decreased response time to visual ...

Telepresence is unique in that nurses, patients, and families interact with the robot as if it is a person. This interaction occurs without orientation or coercion, and nurses take to the system ‘like a fish into water’. It is not clear why this occurs, Commentary Robotic telepresence in the intensive care unit Paul Vespa
Inhaled antibiotics for treating pneumonia in invasively ventilated ...
2024年11月25日 · Background The use of inhaled antibiotics for treating pneumonia in invasively ventilated patients offers a direct approach, allowing for high local concentrations of the drug in the lower respiratory tract while simultaneously reducing systemic toxicity. However, the real efficacy and safety of nebulized antibiotics remain unclear. The aim of the present is to assess among critically adult ...
Length of hospital and intensive care unit stay in patients with ...
2024年11月11日 · Approximately half of all cases occur in the intensive care unit (ICU) . A survey in nine European countries reported a cumulative incidence of ICU-acquired IC of 7.07 episodes per 1000 ICU admissions, with crude 40-day mortality of 42% [ 4 ], while a meta-analysis of European population-based studies found an incidence of 5.5 episodes per 1000 ...
Rezafungin versus caspofungin for patients with candidaemia or …
2024年10月28日 · Background Rezafungin is an echinocandin approved in the US and EU to treat candidaemia and/or invasive candidiasis. This post-hoc, pooled analysis of the Phase 2 STRIVE and Phase 3 ReSTORE trials assessed rezafungin versus caspofungin in patients with candidaemia and/or invasive candidiasis (IC) in the intensive care unit (ICU) at randomisation. Methods STRIVE and ReSTORE were randomised ...
Combined didactic and scenario-based education improves the …
2008年2月21日 · Background While nurses play a key role in identifying delirium, several authors have noted variability in their ability to recognize delirium. We sought to measure the impact of a simple educational intervention on the ability of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses to clinically identify delirium and to use a standardized delirium scale correctly. Methods Fifty …
Association between whole blood transfusion and mortality
2024年11月29日 · For instance, in an observational study of 9,257 patients with severe traumatic brain injury, Dr. Baucom et al. reported that mortality increased by approximately 4% per RBC unit transfused, reaching a peak mortality rate of 74% for those receiving 11 or more units.
Weaning of non COPD patients at high-risk of extubation failure ...
2024年11月26日 · Background Postextubation respiratory failure (PRF) frequently complicates weaning from mechanical ventilation and may increase morbidity/mortality. Noninvasive ventilation (NIV) alternating with high-flow nasal oxygen (HFNO) may prevent PRF. Methods Ventilated patients without chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and at high-risk of PRF defined as a lung ultrasound score (LUS) ≥ 14 ...
Lymphocyte count trajectories are associated with the prognosis …
2024年12月2日 · The distinct lymphocyte trajectories might imply different immune profiles and outcomes in sepsis. Trajectory 1, with initially high lymphocyte counts, was associated with elevated SIRS scores and 7-day mortality, possibly reflecting a …
