Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine the prevalence of small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) in critically ill patients, along with its effects on ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP), ICU length of stay, and in-hospital mortality.
- - Conducted in a mixed medical-surgical ICU with 52 patients, the research utilized a modified hydrogen breath test to diagnose SIBO, revealing a prevalence rate of 36.5%.
- - The findings indicated that SIBO was linked to a higher incidence of VAP and longer ICU stays, but did not significantly affect overall in-hospital mortality. Age was identified as a notable predictor for SIBO.
Introduction: Venous catheter malposition is a rare event with potential catastrophic consequences. To our knowledge we describe one of the first case reports of an adult presenting with a rare late complication of femoral venous catheter malposition: abdominal compartment syndrome.
Presentation Of Case: A 39 year-old female sustained severe cerebral injury in a road traffic accident.
