Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether early treatment with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) combined with heparin can improve lung function in patients suffering from severe respiratory failure due to COVID-19.
- Conducted between May 2020 and March 2021, the research involved two phases with a total of 50 participants who were randomized into treatment or control groups.
- Results indicated that patients receiving the tPA bolus showed significant improvements in their lung function, measured by the Pao to Fio ratio, without any severe bleeding incidents occurring in either treatment group.
Background: Purpose of this study is to determine strategies to decrease catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) in intensive care unit (ICU) patients.
Methods: ICU patients with an indwelling urinary catheter (UC) in one tertiary hospital were monitored for CAUTI. Interventions were implemented sequentially with quarterly data collection.
