Introducing a new generation indirect calorimeter for estimating energy requirements in adult intensive care unit patients: Feasibility, practical considerations, and comparison with a mathematical equation. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Indirect calorimetry (IC) is increasingly advocated for individualizing nutritional therapy in critically ill adult patients, but questions remain regarding its practical implementation.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
During 12 weeks, we prospectively assessed utility and practical aspects of IC use. Adult medico-surgical intensive care unit (ICU) patients were daily screened for malnutrition. Indirect ...
Is EuroSCORE useful in the prediction of extended intensive care unit stay after cardiac surgery? Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen
OBJECTIVE: Risk stratification allows preoperative assessment of cardiac surgical risk faced by individual patients and permits retrospective analysis of postoperative complications in the intensive care unit (ICU). The aim of this single-center study was to investigate the prediction of extended ICU stay after cardiac surgery using both the additive and logistic model of the European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation ...
Prediction of prolonged length of stay in the intensive care unit after cardiac surgery Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Antwerpen
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY: Predictive models for the length of stay (LOS) in the intensive care unit (ICU) following cardiac surgery have been developed in the last decade. These risk models use different endpoint and risk factor definitions. This review discusses the need for a uniform multi-institutional risk scoring system for a prolonged ICU LOS.
METHODS: The MEDLINE database was searched for studies assessing the prognostic ...

However, associations between S aureus carriage and the development of S aureus intensive care unit (ICU) pneumonia (SAIP) have not been quantified accurately, and interpretation of available data is hampered because of variations in definitions.
OBJECTIVE: To quantify associations of patient-related and contextual factors, including S aureus ...
