Article Synopsis
- A retrospective study was conducted at Izmir Tepecik Training and Research Hospital to assess the frequency of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill COVID-19 patients from January 2020 to December 2021.
- Out of 177 patients, 49.7% experienced AKI, which typically developed around 7.63 days after hospitalization, with significant rates of progression in a subset of patients.
- The study found that AKI patients had much higher mortality rates in both the ICU (86.4%) and hospital settings (92%), emphasizing the importance of factors like age, SOFA score, and nephrotoxic agents in AKI risk during COVID-19 illness.
Background: We investigated factors affecting the low- and high-risk groups for aspiration by measuring gastric volume with ultrasound in diabetic patients who fasted for elective surgery.
Methods: The study was conducted as an observational study. Sixty-five patients scheduled for elective surgery, aged 18-86 years, with American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) scores II-III, and who have diabetes were included after local ethics committee approval.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the effect of prone position on oxygenation and lung recruitability in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID-19 receiving invasive mechanical ventilation.
Methods: This prospective study was conducted in the intensive care unit between December 10, 2021, and February 10, 2022. We included 25 patients admitted to our intensive care unit with acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID-19 who had undergone prone position.
Background: Biomarkers are useful for diagnosing infection and sepsis in adults, but data are limited in elderly patients. Furthermore, clinical symptoms of infection in elderly patients are usually atypical or unclear. We aimed to assess the usefulness of PCT, CRP, and WBC in distinguishing elderly patients infected with sepsis from infected without sepsis and those with no-infection.

The aim of our study was to assess the relationship of PCT levels in the first 48 hours with early period infections, late period neurological prognosis, and mortality in patients treated with TTM after CA.
Materials And Methods: Serum PCT was measured on admission days 1 and 2.
