BACKGROUND Evidence indicates that suboptimal clinical handover from the intensive care unit (ICU) to general wards leads to unnecessary ICU readmissions and increased mortality. We aimed to gain insight into barriers and facilitators to implement and use ICU discharge practices. METHODS A mixed methods approach was conducted, using 1) 23 individual and four focus group interviews, with post-...
INTRODUCTION Mortality in the ward after an intensive care unit (ICU) stay is considered a quality parameter, and is described as a source of avoidable mortality. Additionally, the attending intensivist frequently anticipates fatal outcome after ICU discharge. Our objective was to test the ability of a new score to stratify patients according to ward mortality after ICU discharge. METHODS A p...
Introduction Long-term outcome after intensive care is a matter of growing interest in the critical care community. As better knowledge of post-ICU outcomes might help improve admission policies, processes of care, or end-of-life decisions, this topic is increasingly covered in medical journals. Access to this information may still be limited for ICU caregivers who play a pivotal role in the de...
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the internal consistency, validity, responsiveness, and minimal important difference of the Functional Status Score for the ICU, a physical function measure designed for the ICU. DESIGN Clinimetric analysis. SETTINGS Five international datasets from the United States, Australia, and Brazil. PATIENTS Eight hundred nineteen ICU patients. INTERVENTION None. MEASURE...
OBJECTIVES To develop an influenza pandemic ICU triage (iPIT) protocol that excludes patients with the highest and lowest predicted mortality rates, and to determine the increase in ICU bed availability that would result. DESIGN AND SETTING Post-hoc analysis of a study evaluating two triage protocols, designed to determine which patients should be excluded from access to ICU resources during ...
BACKGROUND Our objective was to evaluate the impact of gastric versus post-pyloric feeding on the incidence of pneumonia, caloric intake, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay (LOS), and mortality in critically ill and injured ICU patients. METHOD Data sources were Medline, Embase, Healthstar, citation review of relevant primary and review articles, personal files, and contact with expert ...
Methods We performed a single centre prospective observational study in mixed ICU patients with a length of stay ICU > 48 hours. Patients were evaluated at ICU discharge and reevaluated after a 3-months period in a specific post-ICU outpatient clinic. At both time points a Barthel score (BS) and grip strength (GS) were recorded. Additionally the 6 minutes walking test (6MWT), the Berg balance s...
As newer anesthesia ventilators are developed their capabilities are becoming more similar to intensive care unit (ICU) ventilators. However, in situations where there is severe decrease in lung compliance, an ICU ventilator may be superior in its ability to regulate inspiratory flow improving both ventilation and oxygenation. We present a case where an ICU ventilator was brought to the operati...
BACKGROUND Outcomes for haematology/oncology patients have improved; however, determining their suitability for intensive care unit (ICU) admission remains challenging and controversial. AIM Examine outcomes of patients admitted to an Australian tertiary hospital ICU and explore potential prognostic factors. METHODS A retrospective review of patients with haematological and solid tumour mal...
