Article Synopsis
- The study focused on the management and monitoring strategies for early septic shock (ESS) in Intensive Care Units (ICU) in Puerto Rico, emphasizing the importance of prompt treatment to improve patient survival.
- A survey was conducted with 25 physicians at a Critical Care Medicine meeting, revealing that most participants were experienced specialists from community hospitals who commonly used basic monitoring devices like Oxygen Saturation and Heart Rate.
- The findings showed significant variability in ESS management practices, with less reliance on invasive monitoring techniques and a need for improved education and training in critical care medicine.
Objective: To document (using available data) the profile of the patients seen by the hospital's palliative service (PS) and who died in the medicine intensive care unit (ICU) of the Veterans Affairs Caribbean Healthcare System.
Methods: A record review of subjects who died in the ICU from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2014. Demographic data, underlying comorbidities, the cause of death, the length of stay, evaluation made by the PS, and the withdrawal of life support (when such occurred) were recorded for each patient.
The effectiveness of cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) for the neuropsychological deficits seen in schizophrenia is supported by meta-analysis. However, a recent methodologically rigorous trial had negative findings. In this study, 130 chronic schizophrenic patients were randomly assigned to computerized CRT, an active computerized control condition (CC) or treatment as usual (TAU).
