    Opis:
    INTRODUCTION: Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is the most commonly used clinical test to estimate mean blood glucose during the past 2 to 3 months. In addition to diagnostic purposes, the HbA1c level also predicts diabetes complications. The aim of this study was to determine the association of glycosylated hemoglobin with mortality in intensive care unit (ICU). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A prospective observational study was conducted in the ICU with a total of 281 patients. These patients were classified into two groups based on their HbA1c levels: one group with HbA1c level < 6.5 % and another group with HbA1c level ≥ 6.5%. The following data were collected during the study period. Clinical details and scores such as the APACHE II score (Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Assessment) and daily SOFA (Sequential Organ Failure Assessment) scores for the period of stay in the ICU. ICU morbidities as the need for mechanical ventilation, the use of inotropes / vasopressors, the length of stay in the ICU, and the requirement of renal replacement therapy (RRT). The outcome measures were ICU mortality and 28-day mortality. RESULTS: Of 281 patients admitted to the ICU for more than 48 hours, 157 patients (55.9%) had HbA1c levels < 6.5%, with the remaining 124 (44.1%) had levels ≥ 6.5%. ICU mortality was present in 107 (38.07%) cases. ICU mortality was higher in patients in the HbA1c ≥ 6.5% group compared to the HbA1c < 6.5% group. This was statistically significant (p-value <0.001). Mortality at 28 days was observed in 125 (44.48%) cases. Patients with an HbA1c value ≥ 6.5%, there was a higher mortality at 28 days compared to patients with an HbA1c value < 6.5%. This was found to be statistically significant (p-value <0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The study showed that glycated hemoglobin levels (HbA1c) levels ≥ 6.5% had a significantly higher mortality rate compared to the patient in the HbA1c level < 6.5%.

    Opis:
    INTRODUCTION: Vitamin D, which is a fat-soluble vitamin, plays a key role in enhancing the intestinal absorption of calcium, magnesium and phosphate. In severely ill patients, vitamin D can adversely affect immune and metabolic functions, contributing to poorer outcomes. The aim of this study was to correlate vitamin D with mortality in critically ill patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: prospective observational study was conducted, involving 162 patients in an intensive care unit (ICU). 162 patients were divided into two groups according to vitamin D Deficiency Group levels ≤ 20 ng/ml and Non vitamin D deficiency group levels <20 ng / ml and non-vitamin D deficiency group B levels > 20ng/ml. Data collected during the study included the APACHE II (acute physiology and chronic health evaluation) score at ICU admission, SOFA (sequential organ failure assessment) scores throughout the ICU stay, the need for mechanical ventilation, inotropic support, length of stay in ICU, and ICU outcomes, which were classified as either discharge or mortality. RESULTS: Of the 162 patient admitted to ICU, the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in this study was 140 (86.4%) and nondeficient 22 (13.6%). The mortality rate in the vitamin D deficient group was 40% compared to 18.18% in the nondeficient group. The difference in mortality in both groups for mortality was statistically significant (p-value < 0.05). Vitamin D deficiency was not associated as an independent risk factor for ICU mortality [Odds ratio (OR) 1.220, 95% CI (0.825- 1.805) (p-value -0.320)]. CONCLUSIONS: The vitamin D-deficient group had a significantly higher mortality rate compared to the patient in the nondeficient group. But vitamin D deficiency was not found to be an independent risk factor for mortality.

    Opis:
    In recent years, there has been a maximum increase in admissions to the intensive care unit, culminating in an exponential increase in admissions during the COVID 19 pandemic. Many patients who survived and were discharged from the intensive care unit have cognitive, physical, and psychological disorders that are reflected in the term post-intensive care syndrome. Patients and their families show symptoms of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, and sleep problems. The result is that they negatively affect their quality of life. Numerous risk factors contribute to the development of this syndrome, mainly the sedation, the duration of mechanical ventilation, and the length of stay in the intensive care unit. For this reason, it is necessary to take measures to prevent this syndrome including ABCDEFGH care plan, physical rehabilitation, nutritional support, and intensive care unit diaries. Care must also be given to the creation of Post Intensive care unit clinics where they have a diagnostic, therapeutic, counseling, and rehabilitation role that will act as assistants in the care of patients after discharge from the intensive care unit. Also, special care should be taken with patients who have recovered from COVID 19 whose needs are increasing and need immediate treatment. This review aims to analyze post-intensive care syndrome, prevention measures, and the impact of COVID 19. In conclusion, it is necessary to take measures to treat post-intensive care unit syndrome with early diagnosis and treatment, to reduce the adverse effects on both patients and their families.

    Opis:
    Intensive care units and well-qualified medical staff are indispensable for the proper functioning of every hospital facility. Due to demographic changes and technological progress having extended the average life expectancy, the number of patients hospitalized in intensive care units increases every year. Global shortages of nursing staff (including changes in their age structure) have triggered a debate on the working environment and workload the nursing staff are exposed to while performing their duties. This paper provides a critical review of selected methods for the measurement of the workload of intensive care nurses and points out their practical uses. The paper reviews Polish and foreign literature on workload and the measurement tools used to evaluate workload indicators.

    intensive care unit
    Opis:
    Ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) is a non-dextran iron preparation used for intravenous treatment of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) in adult patients with intolerance or poor response to oral iron therapy. Acute hypersensitivity reactions (HSRs) during iron infusions are very rare but can be life-threatening even after receiving a prior test dose. Here, we report a case of 42 years old female patient who underwent total laparoscopic hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy. On the next postoperative day she received an injection of ferric carboxy maltose. She was diagnosed with IDA. She presented with the picture of an adverse drug reaction due to injection FCM. She was managed with oxygen, vasopressors, antihistaminics, intravenous fluids and, corticosteroids. She recovered well within 24 hours of intensive care unit admission following this adverse drug reaction. So, careful and precise observation is required in management of adverse reaction following ferric carboxymaltose and prompt recognition and treatment based on severity is warranted.

    Opis:
    Candida species can be a reason of infections associated with high morbidity and mortality. The risk of invasive candidosis for patients admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) is increased due to immunosuppressive states, prolonged length of stay, broad-spectrum antibiotics and Candida colonization. The aim of the study was to determine selected properties of fungi isolated from patients treated in the ICUs of hospitals in Lodz. The materials were collected from the oral cavity, the tracheostomy or endotracheal tube and urine from 16 children and 35 adult. In total, 127 samples were examined to differentiate the fungal strains with used morphological and biochemical methods. Candida species were isolated from adult patients (82.9%), but were not isolated from any of the children; C. albicans was the predominant fungus (61.7%), much less frequent were C. glabrata (12.8%), C. tropicalis (6.4%) and C. kefyr, C. dubliniensis (4.3% each).The susceptibility of fungi to antimycotic drugs revealed that almost all of the strains were susceptible to nystatin (97.9%) and to amphotericin B (72.3%), and resistant to fluconazole (72.3%) and ketoconazole (57.5%). No isolation of fungi from children remaining in ICU may be an evidence of high sanitary regime at these wards; fungi from the genus Candida are the etiological factors for ICU infections; 3/5 of them are caused by C. albicans, mostly of the code 2 576 174, characteristic for strains isolated from hospitalized patients; it is necessary to determine the species of the fungus and its susceptibility to drugs, which allows to conduct effective therapy; prophylactic administration of fluconazole leads to an increase in the number of strains resistant to this chemotherapeutic agent; in the antifungal local treatment, nystatin should be a drug of choice as the drug to which most fungi are susceptible.

    Opis:
    Naphthalene poisoning is an uncommon poisoning due to its pungent smell, taste, insolubility in water, and poor absorption from the gut following exposure to naphthalene-containing compounds such as mothballs. Paradichlorobenzene has been reported to dissolve more quickly in alcohol. Within a period of 48-96 hours following naphthalene mothball exposure patient presents with acute onset of non-bloody bilious vomiting, dark brown urine and watery diarrhoea. We present a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge while treating a 27 years old male admitted to the intensive care unit with features of acute naphthalene-toxicity, methemoglobinemia and acute kidney injury following accidental ingestion of mothballs and ethyl alcohol. His vital signs at the time of intensive care unit admission included fever, tachycardia, and hypotension, and his laboratory workup demonstrates hyperbilirubinemia with indirect predominance, hemolytic anaemia, methemoglobinemia, and renal dysfunction. Treatment options include supportive care, red cell transfusion, ascorbic acid, methylene blue, and N-acetylcysteine. The importance of obtaining a careful history and clinical findings is of paramount importance, especially in making the right diagnosis and a successful outcome largely depends on it.

    INTRODUCTION: : Studies indicate that approximately 90% of the patients followed in the ICU have Candida spp colonization. In this study we aimed to elucidate the epidemiology, characteristics, management and outcomes of patients with candidemia in the intensive care unit of a training and research hospital. MATERIAL AND METHODS: All patients over the age of 18 who were hospitalized in general intensive care unit more than 24 hours between 2013 and 2019 were included in the this retrospective study. RESULTS: A total of 43 critically ill patients with blood cultures positive for Candida spp. have been enrolled in this retrospective analysis. The duration of stay in the intensive care unit of the survivors was approximately 53 days, while the average length of stay in the intensive care unit of the non survivors was 16 days, and this difference was statistically significant (p<0.05), 89.7% of septic patients with candidemia died the intensive care unit. There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of platelets, urea and systolic blood pressure (p<0.05), the mean platelet and systolic blood pressure values of the surviving patients were higher than the deceased individuals, while the urea value was lower. The average fungal growth time of the surviving individuals was 17 days, while this period was 1 day in the non-survivor patients. CONCLUSIONS: The mortality rate was higher in patients with sepsis and concomittant candida infection at very soon days of ICU hospitalization. Early administration of empirical antifungal therapy with coverage of non-albicans should be considered for septic patients.

    Opis:
    Szpitalne zapalenie płuc jest najczęstszym rodzajem infekcji stwierdzanym w oddziałach intensywnej terapii (OIT), a wysokie odsetki śmiertelności i umieralności z jego powodu nakazują uznać to schorzenie za najbardziej poważne w środowisku szpitalnym. Z tego względu właściwe rozpoznanie i zrozumienie wpływu szpitalnego zapalenia płuc na stan chorych hospitalizowanych w OIT odrywa ważną rolę. Ryzyko zachorowania uzależnione jest od stanu ogólnego pacjenta, rodzaju biologicznego czynnika chorobotwórczego, inwazyjnych i związanych z immunosupresją procedur diagnostyczno-leczniczych. W związku z powyższym zaleca się wdrożenie wielokierunkowych działań, obejmujących systematyczne kształcenie personelu, eliminację czynników ryzyka oraz wprowadzanie rekomendacji opracowanych przez odpowiednie instytucje naukowe. W niniejszym artykule przedstawiono problematykę zapadalności, patogenezy, czynników ryzyka oraz metod zapobiegania szpitalnemu zapaleniu płuc w oddziałach intensywnej terapii.
    Nosocomial pneumonia (NP) has been considered the most common infection in Intensive care units (ICUs) and due to its high morbidity and mortality rates it has been deemed the most serious hospital acquired infection. It is vital to recognize and understand the impact of nosocomial infections on ICU patients. The risk of NP is associated with patient’s condition, infectious agents, invasive and immunosuppressive procedures. A multiprong approach should include staf education, minimizing risk factors, and implementing guidelines established by national committees. The aim of this article is to discuss incidence, pathogenesis, risk factors and prevention of nosocomial pneumonia in intensive care units.
