Article Synopsis
- Hemodynamic restoration is crucial in sepsis management, with initial treatment focusing on achieving a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of over 65 mmHg through volume expansion and norepinephrine (NE) if needed.
- A multicenter randomized trial is underway to evaluate the effectiveness of low-dose NE in controlling shock within 6 hours in septic patients, comparing it to standard care.
- The study measures various parameters, including lactate levels and cardiac output, with the primary goal of achieving stable shock control, and aims to include at least 100 patients in each treatment group.
Introduction: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) management can only be conceived in a specialized center. We aimed to report the experience of a Tunisian ICU about PH invasive hemodynamic exploration and to describe consequent therapeutic decisions.
Methods: Retrospective descriptive study including all patients admitted to the medical ICU of Abderrahmen Mami Hospital for right heart catheterization (RHC), between 2005 and 2019 as part of the investigation of PH.
Background: We compared patients diagnosed at a SARI (severe acute respiratory infections) surveillance site with COVID-19 and those with seasonal influenza to investigate the clinical differences, common features, and outcomes.
Methods: We conducted a descriptive, retrospective study in the Medical Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Abderrahman Mami Hospital between September 2021 and April 2022. Demographic, clinical, and biological data as well as outcomes were recorded for all patients.
Objective: The aim of this study is to explore the role of IL6 in predicting outcome in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Design Prospective observational cohort study. Setting 20-bed respiratory medical intensive care unit of Abderrahmen Mami Teaching Hospital between September and December 2020.
