BACKGROUND: Severe bleeding is a leading cause of ICU admission and mortality. Fibrinogen plays a crucial role in prognosis, yet optimal thresholds and supplementation targets remain unclear.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop a predictive model for secondary infections in patients with severe or critical COVID-19 by analyzing clinical characteristics and laboratory indicators.
Automatic pain assessment for non-communicative children is in high demand. However, the availability of related training datasets remains limited. This study focuses on creating a large-scale dataset of pain facial expressions specifically for Chine...
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common condition in intensive care units (ICUs) and is associated with high mortality rates, particularly when kidney replacement therapy (KRT) becomes necessary. The optimal timing for initiating KRT remains a subject ...
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a thrombo-hemorrhagic disorder that can be life-threatening in critically ill children, and the quest for an accurate and efficient method for early DIC prediction is of paramount importance. Candidate ...
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Cardiovascular monitoring is essential for managing hemodynamic instability and preventing complications in critically ill patients. Conventional monitoring approaches are limited by predefined thresholds, dependence on clinician e...
Almost one in four critically ill patients suffer from intra-abdominal hypertension (IAH). Currently, the gold standard for measuring intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) is via the bladder. Measurement of IAP is important to identify IAH early and thus im...
