One-Year Outcomes in Survivors of the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome

Reads0
Chats0
TLDR
The absence of systemic corticosteroid treatment, the absence of illness acquired during the intensive care unit stay, and rapid resolution of lung injury and multiorgan dysfunction were associated with better functional status during the one-year follow-up.

Incidence and Outcomes of Acute Lung Injury

TL;DR: It is estimated that each year in the United States there are 190,600 cases of acute lung injury, which are associated with 74,500 deaths and 3.6 million hospital days, considerably higher than previous reports have suggested.

Efficacy and economic assessment of conventional ventilatory support versus extracorporeal membrane oxygenation for severe adult respiratory failure (CESAR): a multicentre randomised controlled trial.

TL;DR: Transfer of adult patients with severe but potentially reversible respiratory failure, whose Murray score exceeds 3.0 or who have a pH of less than 7.20 on optimum conventional management, to a centre with an ECMO-based management protocol is recommended to significantly improve survival without severe disability.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early physical and occupational therapy in mechanically ventilated, critically ill patients: a randomised controlled trial.

TL;DR: A strategy for whole-body rehabilitation-consisting of interruption of sedation and physical and occupational therapy in the earliest days of critical illness-was safe and well tolerated, and resulted in better functional outcomes at hospital discharge, a shorter duration of delirium, and more ventilator-free days compared with standard care.
Journal ArticleDOI

Functional disability 5 years after acute respiratory distress syndrome.

TL;DR: Exercise limitation, physical and psychological sequelae, decreased physical quality of life, and increased costs and use of health care services are important legacies of severe lung injury.

Long-term Cognitive Impairment and Functional Disability Among Survivors of Severe Sepsis

TL;DR: Severe sepsis in this older population was independently associated with substantial and persistent new cognitive impairment and functional disability among survivors, likely resulting in a pivotal downturn in patients' ability to live independently.

APACHE II: a severity of disease classification system.

TL;DR: The form and validation results of APACHE II, a severity of disease classification system that uses a point score based upon initial values of 12 routine physiologic measurements, age, and previous health status, are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ventilation with lower tidal volumes as compared with traditional tidal volumes for acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome.

TL;DR: In patients with acute lung injury and the acute respiratory distress syndrome, mechanical ventilation with a lower tidal volume than is traditionally used results in decreased mortality and increases the number of days without ventilator use.

The American-European Consensus Conference on ARDS: Definitions, mechanisms, relevant outcomes, and clinical trial coordination

TL;DR: The acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a process of nonhydrostatic pulmonary edema and hypoxemia associated with a variety of etiologies, carries a high morbidity, mortality, and financial cost.

APACHE II-A Severity of Disease Classification System: Reply

TL;DR: The form and validation results of APACHE II, a severity of disease classification system, are presented, showing an increasing score was closely correlated with the subsequent risk of hospital death for 5815 intensive care admissions from 13 hospitals.

The MOS 36-item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36): III. Tests of data quality, scaling assumptions, and reliability across diverse patient groups.

TL;DR: Findings support the use of the SF-36 survey across the diverse populations studied and identify population groups in which use of standardized health status measures may or may not be problematic.
