Collegium antropologicum Vol. 38, No. 2, 2014
Intravascular device infections could be serious complications with significant contributable morbidity and mortality. The aim of this prospective clinical study is to demonstrate the infection rate related to peripheral arterial catheters and their clinical significance in neurosurgical intensive care unit (ICU) patients. After removal, all arterial catheter tips were cultivated by semiquantitative method and clinical data were collected. During a period of two years, 186 arterial catheters were placed in 105 neurosugical ICU patients. In 6 ca...

hrv Bodovni sustavi u jedinicama intenzivnog liječenja djece
eng Scoring systems in paediatric intensive care units
Meštrović, Julije
Bodovni sustavi u medicni služe procjeni težine bolesti. Na taj način moguće je ujednačiti značajke bolesnika koji se liječe na različitim odjelima i u različitim zdravstvenim ustanovama. U jedinicama intenzivnog liječenja djece skupine bolesnika se bitno razlikuju u odnosu na dob i dijagnostičke skupine, a smrtnost bolesnika je općenito mala. U jedinicama intenzivnog liječenja djece se koristi nekoliko bodovnih sustava koji se temelje na pokazateljima fizioloških pokazatelja, a bodovanje težine ozljede uključuje anatomske karakteristike ozljed...

eng Correlation of APACHE II and SOFA Scores with Length of Stay in Various Surgical Intensive Care Units
Milić, Morena; Goranović, Tatjana; Katančić Holjevac, Jadranka
Collegium antropologicum Vol. 33, No. 3, 2009
The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of using Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score as the predictors of length of stay (LOS) in various surgical intensive care units (ICUs) and to test the hypothesis that the significance of scoring for predicting LOS is greater in specialized surgical ICUs. We scored patients in a non-specialized general surgical ICU (n=328) and in a specialized cardiosurgical ICU (n=158) consecutively on admission (APACHE II-1st d...

eng Observed versus predicted hospital mortality in general wards patients assisted by a medical emergency team
Landoni, Giovanni; Cabrini, Luca; Monti, Giacomo; Plumari, Valentina Paola; Turi, Stefano; Laura, Pasin; Silvani, Paolo; Colombo, Sergio; Zangrillo, Alberto
Signa vitae Vol. 7, No. 1, 2012
Introduction. In many countries the demand for intensive care beds exceeds their availability. The Medical Emergency Team (MET) can manage critically ill patients outside the intensive care unit (ICU). Hospital mortality rate for patients admitted to general wards and assisted by the MET was never compared to the predicted mortality for the same group of patients in an ICU setting. Methods. Single-centre, prospective, observational study on consecutive adult patients assisted by the MET in all general wards and in the Emergency Department of a...

eng Critical (Intensive) Care Medicine and CPR A Personal History By Max Harry Weil
Harry, Max
Signa vitae Vol. 5, No. Suppl. 1, 2010
I perceive that the most consitent pursuits of successful innovators and leaders in medicine, as in all endeavors, come from aspirations generated by dreams rather than hope or by fate alone; from the excitement with which the dreamer atracts collaborators who have prepared minds and skillful hands; they join talents and destinities to convert the dream to expert plans.Contigent on the vigor, the persistence and on the attention to detail with which they commit to the execution of their plans, the secure the advances that contribute to the...

eng Outbreak of nosocomial bacteremias, caused by Enterobacter gergoviae and Enterobacter aerogenes, in the neonatal intensive care unit, case - control study
Boban, Nataša; Jerončić, Ana; Punda-Polić, Volga
Signa vitae Vol. 6, No. 1, 2011
In this case-control study we describe epidemiological characteristics and evaluate risk factors for bacteremias caused by a rare human pathogen Enterobacter gergoviae, and Enterobacter aerogenes, among neonates in the intensive care unit, under conditions of nosocomial outbreak. Crude rate of bacteremias was 16 per 1000 admissions. Bacteremias most commonly occurred between 7th to 30th day of hospitalization and were 1.9 times more frequent in males than females. The following risk factors were significantly associated with the development of...

eng Outbreak of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit: Are Point-of-Use Filters Useful?
Starcevic, Lidija Zele
Signa vitae Vol. 13, No. 1, 2017
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, in intensive care units (ICUs), causes infections with high morbidity and mortality rates. Tap water outlets are often contaminated with P.aeruginosa and may represent a source of endemic infections in ICUs. The aim of this study was to explore the role of point-of-use (POU) filters in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in reducing P.aeruginosa colonizations/infections. Routine surveillance cultures, environmental cultures and samples from the hands of healthcare personnel, were taken and cultivated. P.aeruginosa...

hrv Jedinica za liječenje moždanog udara - mjesto gdje bi se trebali liječiti svi bolesnici s moždanim udarom
eng Stroke Unit - Where All Stroke Patients Should Be Treated
Breitenfeld, Tomislav; Vargek-Solter, Vesna; Supanc, Višnja; Roje-Bedeković, Marina; Demarin, Vida
Acta clinica Croatica Vol. 48, No. 3, 2009
Moždani udar je jedan od glavnih uzroka pobola i smrtnosti u razvijenom svijetu, ali i vodeći uzrok invaliditeta. Jedinice za liječenje moždanog udara (JLMU) su dokazano učinkovit način u liječenju moždanog udara i to snižavanjem smrtnosti i zaostalog invaliditeta. Prema European Stroke Organization, JLMU bi trebale pružiti koordiniranu i multidisciplinarnu skrb s timom specijaliziranim za liječenje moždanog udara. Deklaracija iz Helsingborga 1995. godine pozvala je na organiziran pristup liječenju akutnog moždanog udara JLMU za sve bolesnike s...
