Securing definitive airway with minimal complications is a challenging task for high-volume emergency departments (ED) that deal with patients with compromised airway. We conducted a prospective observational study between September 2019 and March 2020. Cohort of adults presenting to the ED requiring rapid sequence induction (RSI) were recruited to determine the prevalence and risk factors for the development of aspiration pneumonia(AP) in patients intubated in the ED. During the study period, a total of 154 patients with a mean age of 44.5 years required RSI in the ED. Male (61%) predominance was noted among the study cohorts. We did not find any association between RSI performed in the ED and the risk of developing AP. The first attempt success rate of RSI was 76.7%, and 33(21.4%) patients had immediate adverse events following RSI. Rescue intubation was required for 11(7.1%) patients. The prevalence of AP following RSI in the ED was 13.4%. Endotracheal tube (ET) aspirate pepsin was positive in 45(29.2%) samples collected. The ET aspirate pepsin assay had low sensitivity (44.44%), specificity (73.53%), positive predictive value (18%), and negative predictive value (91%) in predicting the occurrence of AP. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/deferoxamine-mesylate.html On multivariate logistic regression analysis, male gender (AOR 7.29, 95%CI 1.51-35.03, = 0.013) and diabetes mellitus (AOR 3.75, 95%CI 1.23-11.51, = 0.02) were found to be independent risk factors for developing AP. We identified male gender and diabetes mellitus to be independent predictors of risk of developing AP after RSI in the ED. ET aspirate pepsin levels proved to be neither sensitive nor specific in the diagnosis of AP.

In the event of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) spread worldwide, frontline healthcare workers play a key role in the containment of this devastating pandemic, and to prevent the cross-transmission and gain confidence in battle with the pandemic, they are wearing personal protective equipment (PPE). To explore the adverse health problems and skin reactions caused by the use of PPEs among the frontline nurses in the ICUs of COVID hospital. A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online-based questionnaire assessing the physical problems, and adverse skin reactions of PPEs were sent among the 150 frontline nurses in ICUs of COVID hospital. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. We got 137 valid responses from frontline nurses, and the most common adverse health effects expressed by them were headache (73.4%), extreme sweating (59.6%), and difficulty in breathing (36.7%); 91.7% complained about the fogging of the goggle. Majority of frontline nurses expressed nasal bridian J Crit Care Med 2021;25(2)134-139. Jose S, Cyriac MC, Dhandapani M.

Our main objective in developing this consensus is to bring together a set of most agreed-upon statements from a panel of global experts that would act as a guide for clinicians working in neurocritical care units (NCCUs). Given the physiological benefits of analgo-sedation in the NCCU, there is little information on their tailoring in the NCCU. This lack of evidence and guidelines on the use of sedation and analgesia in patients with neurological injury leads to a variation in clinical care based on patient requirements and institutional protocols. Thirty-nine international experts agreed to be a member of this consensus panel. A Delphi method based on a Web-based questionnaire developed with Google Forms on a secure institute server was used to seek opinions of experts. Questions were related to sedation and analgesia in the neurocritical care unit. A predefined threshold of agreement was established as 70% to support any recommendation, strong, moderate, or weak. No recommendations were made below th;25(2)126-133.Hemodynamic monitoring and categorization of patients based on fluid responsiveness is the key to decisions prompting the use of fluids and vasoactive agents in septic shock. Distinguishing patients who are going to benefit from fluids from those who will not is of paramount importance as large amounts of fluids used conventionally based on surviving sepsis guidelines may be detrimental. Noninvasive monitoring techniques for the assessment of various cardiovascular parameters are increasingly accepted as the current medical practice. Electrical cardiometry (EC) is one such method for the determination of stroke volume, cardiac output (CO), and other hemodynamic parameters and is based on changes in electrical conductivity within the thorax. It has been validated against gold standard methods such as thermodilution [Malik V, Subramanian A, Chauhan S, et al. World J 2014;4(7)101-108] and is being used more often as a point-of-care noninvasive technique for hemodynamic monitoring. EC is Food and Drug Administrat123-125.How to cite this article Bhowmick R.

In addition, it provides useful information about co-oximetry, lactate, electrolytes, and other parameters. Studies show that it is widely prescribed but the impact of ABG result on clinical care is limited. Protocols addressing effective utilization of ABG can address and help in minimizing cost and complications. How to cite this article Pande RK. Arterial Blood Gas Bowling Wide and Poor Wicketkeeping.
