Impairment of Thyroid Function in Critically Ill Patients in the Intensive Care Units.

The American journal of the medical sciences
Unexplained hypotension in the intensive care unit is commonly attributed to volume depletion, cardiorespiratory failure, sepsis, or relative adrenal insufficiency. In these acute conditions, thyroid hormone levels measured in blood, serum or plasma ...

Minimum effective fluid volume of colloid to prevent hypotension during caesarean section under spinal anesthesia using a prophylactic phenylephrine infusion: An up-down sequential allocation study.

Journal of clinical anesthesia
STUDY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to de termine the minimum effective fluid volume (MEFV) of hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (HES) infused in a preload fashion which would prevent hypotension in 50% of parturients undergoing caesarean section. A...

Machine Learning Accurately Predicts Need for Critical Care Support in Patients Admitted to Hospital for Community-Acquired Pneumonia.

Critical care explorations
OBJECTIVES: Hospitalized community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) patients are admitted for ventilation, vasopressors, and renal replacement therapy (RRT). This study aimed to develop a machine learning (ML) model that predicts the need for such interventi...

Where do doctors disagree? Characterizing Decision Points for Safe Reinforcement Learning in Choosing Vasopressor Treatment.

AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium
In clinical settings, domain experts sometimes disagree on optimal treatment actions. These "decision points" must be comprehensively characterized, as they offer opportunities for Artificial Intelligence (AI) to provide statistically informed recomm...

Predicting the Need For Vasopressors in the Intensive Care Unit Using an Attention Based Deep Learning Model.

Shock (Augusta, Ga.)
BACKGROUND: Previous models on prediction of shock mostly focused on septic shock and often required laboratory results in their models. The purpose of this study was to use deep learning approaches to predict vasopressor requirement for critically i...

A Histological Study of Vasoconstriction by Local Anesthetics in Mandible.

Anesthesia progress
To assess the effect of epinephrine-containing local anesthetics on vasoconstriction, we immunohistochemically measured the intravascular lumen area in different regions of the mandible. Twelve male Wistar rats were used. General anesthesia was induc...
