Potassium disorders at intensive care unit admission and functional outcomes after cardiac arrest.

Background: Abnormal serum potassium levels are commonly found in the intensive care unit (ICU) population. We aimed to determine the prevalence of potassium disorders at ICU admission and its association with functional outcomes in comatose patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest.

Methods: We performed a post hoc analysis of pooled data from four randomised clinical trials involving comatose post-cardiac arrest patients admitted to ICU after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).

Outcome of patients with solid malignancies considered for intensive care unit admission: a single-center prospective cohort study.

Purpose: To identify the predictors and outcomes of ICU triage decisions in patients with solid malignancies (SM) and to investigate the usefulness of the National Early Warning Score (NEWS) and quick Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA) score at triage.

Methods: All patients with SM for whom ICU admission was requested between July 2019 and December 2021 in a French university-affiliated hospital were included prospectively.

Results: Of the 6262 patients considered for ICU admission, 410 (6.

Long-term major events after hospital discharge for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Background: Cardiac arrest remains a global health issue with limited data on long-term outcomes, particularly regarding recurrent cardiovascular events in patients surviving out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. (OHCA). We aimed to describe the long-term occurrence of major cardiac event defined by hospital admission for cardiovascular events or death in OHCA hospital survivors, whichever came first.
