Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to compare four predictive equations for estimating energy expenditure in liver transplant recipients against direct measurements taken via indirect calorimetry.
- - Conducted in a South Korean surgical ICU, the research involved 46 patients, finding that the Penn State equation provided the best agreement (65%) with measured energy needs, while other equations showed lower accuracy.
- - The results indicated that all predictive equations had fixed biases and were generally inaccurate, suggesting the necessity of using indirect calorimetry for precise measurement of metabolic needs in liver transplant patients.
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of using a systematic approach to tracheostomy care by a clinical nurse specialist and surgical intensivists for patients with a tracheostomy who were transferred from the surgical intensive care unit (SICU) to the general ward.
Methods: In this retrospective study, subjects were limited to SICU patients with a tracheostomy who were transferred to the general ward. The study period was divided into a preintervention period (January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2010) and a postintervention period (January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2014), and electronic medical records were used to analyze and compare patient characteristics, clinical outcomes, and readmission to the SICU.
Abdominal wall defect with large duodenal disruption after penetrating abdominal injury is a rare emergency situation that can result in life-threatening complications. We report on a 64-year-old man who had abdominal wall defect with large duodenal disruption after penetrating abdominal injury. The patient presented with intra-abdominal exsanguinating bleeding, duodenal disruption, and multiple small bowel perforation.
