Energy Expenditure in Critically Ill Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, Intracerebral Hemorrhage, and Traumatic Brain Injury-A Prospective Observational Study.

Background: Energy expenditure (EE) in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) may differ from other intracranial pathologies, such as intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) or traumatic brain injury (TBI), due to an activation of the sympathetic nervous system. Indirect calorimetry (IC) is recommended, but is not always available. We study EE, catabolism, and metabolic stress in patients with SAH, TBI, ICH, and sepsis as controls.

Fluid excess on intensive care unit after mechanical thrombectomy after acute ischemic stroke is associated with unfavorable neurological and functional outcomes: An observational cohort study.

Introduction: Endovascular thrombectomy stands as a pivotal component in the standard care for patients experiencing acute ischemic stroke with large vessel occlusion. Subsequent care for patients often extends to a neurological intensive care unit. While fluid management is integral to intensive care, the association between early fluid balance and neurological and functional outcomes post-thrombectomy has not yet been thoroughly investigated.

Association Between Dyscapnia, Ventilatory Variables, and Mortality in Patients With Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome-A Retrospective Cohort Study.

This study aimed to investigate the associations between dyscapnia, ventilatory variables, and mortality. We hypothesized that the association between mechanical power or ventilatory ratio and survival is mediated by dyscapnia. Patients with moderate or severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), who received mechanical ventilation within the first 48 h after admission to the intensive care unit for at least 48 h, were included in this retrospective single-center study.

Early prediction of ventricular peritoneal shunt dependency in aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage patients by recurrent neural network-based machine learning using routine intensive care unit data.

Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) can lead to complications such as acute hydrocephalic congestion. Treatment of this acute condition often includes establishing an external ventricular drainage (EVD). However, chronic hydrocephalus develops in some patients, who then require placement of a permanent ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt.
