Open AccessAssociation between left ventricular systolic function parameters and myocardial injury, organ failure and mortality in patients with septic shock
Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is inconsistently associated with poor outcomes in patients with sepsis. Newer parameters such as LV longitudinal strain (LVLS), mitral annular plane systolic excursio...

Echocardiography phenotypes of right ventricular involvement in COVID-19 ARDS patients and ICU mortality: post-hoc (exploratory) analysis of repeated data from the ECHO-COVID study
Exploratory study to evaluate the association of different phenotypes of right ventricular (RV) involvement and mortality in the intensive care unit (ICU) in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (...

Chapter
Evaluation of Haemodynamically Important Pericardial Effusion
Pericardial effusions occur when there is an increase in the volume of fluid in the pericardial sac. They arise from a wide range of underlying pathologies, and in their severest forms may progress to total ca...

Open AccessFrailty is a stronger predictor of death in younger intensive care patients than in older patients: a prospective observational study
While frailty is a known predictor of adverse outcomes in older patients, its effect in younger populations is unknown. This prospective observational study was conducted in a tertiary-level mixed ICU to asses...

Article
How can assessing hemodynamics help to assess volume status?
In critically ill patients, fluid infusion is aimed at increasing cardiac output and tissue perfusion. However, it may contribute to fluid overload which may be harmful. Thus, volume status, risks and potentia...

Open AccessVentilatory settings in the initial 72 h and their association with outcome in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest patients: a preplanned secondary analysis of the targeted hypothermia versus targeted normothermia after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (TTM2) trial
The optimal ventilatory settings in patients after cardiac arrest and their association with outcome remain unclear. The aim of this study was to describe the ventilatory settings applied in the first 72 h of ...

Open AccessIncidence of acute myocardial injury and its association with left and right ventricular systolic dysfunction in critically ill COVID-19 patients
Previous studies have found an increase in cardiac troponins (cTns) and echocardiographic abnormalities in patients with COVID-19 and reported their association with poor clinical outcomes. Whether acute injur...

Dexamethasone 12 mg versus 6 mg for patients with COVID-19 and severe hypoxaemia: a pre-planned, secondary Bayesian analysis of the COVID STEROID 2 trial
We compared dexamethasone 12 versus 6 mg daily for up to 10 days in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and severe hypoxaemia in the international, randomised, blinded COVID STEROID 2 trial. In t...

Open AccessLeft ventricular longitudinal wall fractional shortening accurately predicts longitudinal strain in critically ill patients with septic shock
Left ventricular longitudinal strain (LVLS) may be a sensitive indicator of left ventricular (LV) systolic function in patients with sepsis, but is dependent on high image quality and analysis software. Mitral...

Open AccessHigh-sensitive cardiac Troponin T is superior to echocardiography in predicting 1-year mortality in patients with SIRS and shock in intensive care
Left ventricular (LV) dysfunction is well documented in the critically ill. We assessed 1-year mortality in relation to cardiac biomarkers and LV function parameters by echocardiography in patients with shock.
