Background: Clinical experience on details of CRRT initiation and outcomes in cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) patients is not available from developing countries like India. This study shares the 5-year clinical experience of managing CICU patients requiring CRRT in a tertiary care cardiac center of North India.
Materials And Methods: Medical records of all CICU patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) managed by CRRT from October 2011 to September 2016 at tertiary referral center in North India were retrospectively reviewed. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to identify predictors of post-CRRT mortality.
Results: A total of 630 patients received CRRT during the study period. Most commonly AKI developed in patients with acute coronary syndrome (30.2 %) with cardiogenic shock. 55.9 % of the CRRT patients were >60 years of age, and/or on multiple supports in ICU including, mechanical ventilation, high doses of inotropes & vasopressors and other cardiovascular support. Of those on CRRT, 130 (20.6 %) patients had died, 215 (34.1 %) were discharged and 285 (45.2 %) could not complete the desired course. Multivariate regression analysis showed independent association of mortality with high vasoactive-inotropic score, single CRRT cycle and low mean arterial pressure in CRRT patients.
Conclusion: About 34.1 % of patients receiving CRRT were alive at discharge, emphasizing the feasibility and utility of CRRT as a promising modality in this population for improving outcomes.

Background: Liver synthetic dysfunction predicts outcomes in cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) patients.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the associations between the severity and extent of admission liver function test (LFT) abnormalities and mortality in a mixed CICU population.
Methods: This historical cohort study included unique CICU patients from 2007 to 2018 with available data for admission LFT values.

Aims: To determine which patient and cardiac arrest factors were associated with obtaining neuroimaging after in-hospital cardiac arrest, and among those patients who had neuroimaging, factors associated with which neuroimaging modality was obtained.
Methods: Retrospective cohort study of patients who survived in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) and were enrolled in the ICU-RESUS trial (NCT02837497).
Results: We tabulated ultrasound (US), CT, and MRI frequency within 7 days following IHCA and identified patient and cardiac arrest factors associated with neuroimaging modalities utilized.

Purpose Of Review: Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology will significantly alter critical care cardiology, from our understanding of diseases to the way in which we communicate with patients and colleagues. We summarize the potential applications of AI in the cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) by reviewing current evidence, future developments and possible challenges.
Recent Findings: Machine Learning (ML) methods have been leveraged to improve interpretation and discover novel uses for diagnostic tests such as the ECG and echocardiograms.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the use of continuous video-electroencephalography (cEEG) to detect seizures in infants and children in a cardiovascular intensive care unit (CVICU), emphasizing symptoms and risk factors that led to cEEG evaluations.
- Among 605 cEEGs performed over 38 months, seizures were found in 9% of cases, with a significantly higher detection rate (30%) when both vital sign and non-vital sign symptoms were present, while isolated vital sign changes did not yield any seizures.
- The results indicated that certain symptoms (like gaze deviation and abnormal limb movements) and risk factors (like preexisting epilepsy and recent neuroscience surgeries) were linked to a higher likelihood of seizure detection, highlighting
