Background: Remimazolam, an ultra-short-acting benzodiazepine, has similar clinical effects to propofol for sedation in general anaesthesia. However, it remains uncertain whether remimazolam could increase postoperative delirium (POD) compared with propofol.
Objectives: The purpose of our study was to compare the incidence of POD between remimazolam and propofol as sedative agents in general anaesthesia.
Purpose: Patients with Cardiogenic shock (CS) admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) have high mortality rates. We aimed to investigate the changes patient characteristics and outcomes over time among patients admitted to the ICU with CS.
Methods: Retrospective study utilizing a large bi-national ICU database from 2003 to 2022.
Objectives And Outcomes: To evaluate the 24hrs before medical emergency team (MET) calls to examine: 1) the frequency, nature, and timing of pre-MET criteria breaches; 2) differences in characteristics and outcomes between patients who did and didn't experience pre-MET breaches.
Design: Retrospective observational study November 2020-June 2021.
Setting: Tertiary referral Australian hospital.
Article Synopsis
- Non-invasive thermometers are commonly used in ICUs to estimate core temperature, but this review aimed to evaluate their accuracy compared to intravascular measurements.* -
- The study analyzed 13 cohort studies involving 632 patients and found that non-invasive thermometers (like axillary and tympanic) generally underestimated core temperature, with only oesophageal measurements showing acceptable accuracy.* -
- The overall reliability of non-invasive thermometers was questionable due to high variability in study results and unclear risk of bias, leading to concerns about their clinical use in critically ill patients.*
