RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Long-term outcomes of patients with severe stroke remain poorly documented. We aimed to characterize one-year outcomes of patients with stroke requiring mechanical ventilation in the intensive care unit (ICU). METHODS: We conducted a prospective multicenter cohort study in 33 ICUs in France (2017-2019) on patients with consecutive strokes requiring mechanical ventilation for at least 24 hours. Outcomes were collected via telephone interviews by an independent research assistant. The primary end point was poor functional outcome, defined by a modified Rankin Scale score of 4 to 6 at 1 year. Multivariable mixed models investigated variables associated with the primary end point. Secondary end points included quality of life, activities of daily living, and anxiety and depression in 1-year survivors. RESULTS: Among the 364 patients included, 244 patients (66.5% [95% CI, 61.7%-71.3%]) had a poor functional outcome, including 190 deaths (52.2%). After adjustment for non-neurological organ failure, age ≥70 years (odds ratio [OR], 2.38 [95% CI, 1.26-4.49]), Charlson comorbidity index ≥2 (OR, 2.01 [95% CI, 1.16-3.49]), a score on the Glasgow Coma Scale <8 at ICU admission (OR, 3.43 [95% CI, 1.98-5.96]), stroke subtype (intracerebral hemorrhage: OR, 2.44 [95% CI, 1.29-4.63] versus ischemic stroke: OR, 2.06 [95% CI, 1.06-4.00] versus subarachnoid hemorrhage: reference) remained independently associated with poor functional outcome. In contrast, a time between stroke diagnosis and initiation of mechanical ventilation >1 day was protective (OR, 0.56 [95% CI, 0.33-0.94]). A sensitivity analysis conducted after exclusion of patients with early decisions of withholding/withdrawal of care yielded similar results. We observed persistent physical and psychological problems at 1 year in >50% of survivors. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with severe stroke requiring mechanical ventilation, several ICU admission variables may inform caregivers, patients, and their families on post-ICU trajectories and functional outcomes. The burden of persistent sequelae at 1 year reinforces the need for a personalized, multi-disciplinary, prolonged follow-up of these patients after ICU discharge. REGISTRATION: URL: https://www.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Communication is essential to establish patient-caregivers relationship in the intensive care unit. Intubated patients are not able to speak because the tracheal tube prevents vocalization. Use of communication tools such as eye tracking device could improve communication with intubated patients. The objective of this feasibility pilot study was to demonstrate that an eye tracking device specifically developed for the intensive care could be used easily by awake intubated patient with a very short training time. METHODS: This prospective multicenter study was conducted in four intensive care units. We included awake adult intubated patients. The device used included an eye-tracking infrared detection and a communication interface specifically developed. RESULTS: A total of 151 patients were included: the median age of patients was 66 years (56-72) and 97 (64%) were male, 97 patients (64%) succeed totally (installation; calibration, succeed to select all three icons), 124 (82%) succeed to select at least one icon, and 111 (74%) succeed to point to at least two icons. The main reasons for failure to use the device were: difficulties to open or to keep the eyes open, difficulties to installing the device occurred, and patient fatigue. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that the use of an eye tracking technology device specifically designed for the intensive care setting, with a short training is easy to use for intubated patient. Patients, relatives and caregivers showed high satisfaction.

RESUMO

The perception of the quality of the collaboration between doctors and nurses varies depending on the sector of activity. The sharing of professional values and the coherence of this partnership determines the quality of care provided to the patient. An intensive care doctor shares his experience.

RESUMO

Adequate nutritional support is a major challenge in brain injury patients, because malnutrition cannot be reversed by standard enteral nutrition. We hypothesized that an oligomeric formula could improve nutritional status by restoring intestinal trophicity. Eighteen male Sprague-Dawley rats (300-330 g) underwent gastrostomy on day-7 (D-7) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) by hydraulic percussion (D0) and were then fed for 4 days with either a polymeric formula (Sondalis® HP, TBIP, n = 9), or an oligomeric formula (Peptamen® HN, TBIO, n = 9). In addition, a control group of healthy gastrostomized rats was fed the polymeric diet (control, n = 8). All rats were weighed daily. On D+4, the rats were euthanized. Blood was collected for plasma amino acid determination. Organs were removed and weighed. Intestinal morphometry was studied. Protein content was assessed on intestine and muscles. Enterobacterial translocation and dissemination were evaluated. Results were expressed as means ± SEM and compared using analysis of variance+Newman-Keuls test. TBI induced a significant decrease in whole body weight (TBIP vs. control, p < 0.05) that was totally blunted by the oligomeric diet (TBIP vs. TBIO, p < 0.01). Thymus weight significantly decreased after TBI (TBIP vs. control, p < 0.05) and was restored by the oligomeric formula (TBIO vs. TBIP, p < 0.05). Glutamine (GLN) concentration was improved by the oligomeric diet in both plasma (TBIO: 688 ± 19 vs. control: 591 ± 45 and TBIP: 615 ± 42 µmol/L, p < 0.05) and soleus muscle. These results show that the use of an oligomeric diet may limit response to injury after brain injury and could be a simple nutritional strategy in this setting.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Immune-enhancing diets (IEDs) rich in arginine (ARG) reduce morbi-mortality in trauma and surgical patients. Among the pharmaconutrients inducing these effects, ARG may be involved by generating active metabolites such as glutamine (GLN). However, the ability of an ARG-enriched diet to normalize GLN plasma levels in intensive care unit (ICU) patients has never been documented. To analyze plasma GLN and related amino acid (AA) kinetics in response to an ARG-enriched IED in ICU surgical patients. DESIGN: This prospective, randomized, single-blind, comparative study was performed on 22 patients randomized to receive total enteral nutrition for 7 days with either an ARG-enriched IED or a standard formula (rendered isonitrogenous to the IED, S group, n = 11), providing 30 kcal/kg/day and 0.3 g N/kg/day. MEASUREMENTS: Plasma AA concentrations were measured on day 5 after a 3-hour washout period (basal values = T0) and after 30, 60, 90, 120, 180, and 360 minutes of enteral nutrition. The primary end point was the variation in plasma GLN from T0 to T90. RESULTS: Only the IED-fed patients showed an increase in plasma levels of GLN (differences [T90 - T0]: +40 +/- 6 vs. -35 +/- 18 micromol/L, mean +/- sem, p < 0.05, two-way analysis of variance), ARG (+35 +/- 5 vs.+1 +/- 4 micromol/L, p < 0.05), ornithine (+23 +/- 6 vs. -2 +/- 2 micromol/L, p < 0.05), and proline (+36 +/- 10 vs. -6 +/- 11 micromol/L, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: To our knowledge, this is the first reported pharmacokinetic study on an IED even though these products have been on the market for 20 years. Our main result is that administering an ARG-enriched IED causes a significant increase in plasma GLN probably from de novo GLN synthesis from ARG. This suggests that the ARG present in IED can serve to supply GLN to ICU patients, who are usually depleted in this conditionally essential AA during injury.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Intrathecal morphine is a widely used method for postoperative pain relief after major abdominal surgery. The aim of this randomized, double-blinded study was to compare intrathecal morphine and intravenous PCA morphine for postoperative analgesia and recovery course after major colorectal surgery in elderly patients. METHODS: After written informed consent, patients >70 years of age were prospectively and randomly assigned to receive either preoperative intrathecal morphine (0.3 mg) and postoperative patient-controlled (PCA) intravenous morphine (IT morphine) or PCA alone (group control). Results are presented as mean +/- SD (95% confidence interval). RESULTS: Twenty-six patients successfully completed the study in each group. In the IT morphine group, rate of awakening was delayed. Pain intensity and daily intravenous morphine consumption were significantly reduced 1 and 2 days after surgery in the IT morphine group (P < .01). Mental function (assessed by Mini Mental State and Digit Symbol Substitution Test) was similar in both groups. Episodes of postoperative delirium/confusion occurred similarly in both groups. Time to ileus resolution and time to ambulation without assistance did not differ between the 2 groups. The duration of hospitalization was 8.4 +/- 1.7 (7-11) days and 7.9 +/- 2.0 (6-9.9) days for control and IT morphine, respectively (nonstatistical difference). Patients in the IT morphine group had longer time to awakening from anesthesia and experienced more sedation. CONCLUSIONS: Intrathecal morphine, as compared with intravenous PCA morphine alone, improves immediate postoperative pain and reduces parenteral morphine consumption but does not improve postoperative recovery in elderly patients after major colorectal surgery.
