Correlation of VEGF-A and Fluid Balance in Septic Shock
VEGF is a key molecule in the control of vascular permeability via interactions with the VEGF-receptor on the endothelial cell. Several authors reported plasma VEGF levels are elevated in sepsis shock and associated with increased mortality (1,2). In septic shock, the main elements of treatment are intravenous fluids, appropriate antibiotics …

Relation Between Mean Arterial Pressure and Renal Resistive Index in the Early Phase of Septic Shock
This study evaluates if improvement of renal resistive index when mean arterial pressure increase (at 65 mmHg to 85 mmHg) in early phase of septic shock is predictive of better renal survival.

Cognitive Outcomes After Dexmedetomidine Sedation in Cardiac Surgery Patients
Anesthesia is a drug induced, reversible, comatose state that facilitates surgery and it is widely assumed that cognition returns to baseline after anesthetics have been eliminated. However, many patients have persistent memory impairment for weeks to months after surgery. Cardiac surgery appears to carry the highest risk of postoperative cognitive …

Myocardial Contrast Echocardiography in Septic Patients
Myocardial microcirculatory alterations may be involved in the pathogenesis of acute cardiac dysfunction or septic cardiomyopathy in septic patients. The investigators study the cardiac function (systolic and diastolic) with two-dimensional echocardiography (TTE), and the myocardial microcirculation with contrast echocardiography (MCE) and sulphur hexafluoride microbubbles Sonovue injection in ICU septic patients.

Evaluation of the Right Ventricular Systolic Function Using Real-time Three-dimensional Echocardiography in Intensive Care Unit Patients
In the intensive care unit (ICU), acute RVF is mainly due to the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), sepsis or septic shock, and less often to severe pulmonary embolism or RV infarction. The anatomical complexity of the RV precludes any geometrical assumption to estimate its volume, hence its ejection fraction …

Changes in Cardiac and Pulmonary Hemodynamics as Predictor of Outcome in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients
The primary objective of the study is to evaluate cardiac and pulmonary hemodynamic changes over time as predictor of disease progression and outcome in COVID-19 patients admitted to ICU. The primary endpoint is the occurrence of a major event predefined as either: death (all-cause mortality) or discharge from ICU (limit …

Covid-19 Triage Using Camera-based AI
The vital signs are critical in assessing the severity and prognosis of infections, such as Covid-19. The devices used today for measuring the vital signs have to be in physical contact with the patients. There is an apparent risk of transferring infections from one patient to the next (or to …
