Abstract:

Objective: To assess equity in the distribution of hospital beds in northern Iran. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the degree of equity by using 2016 census data from 16 cities in Guilan province. The hospital beds include burns, intensive care unit, coronary care unit and neonatal intensive care unit beds. We analysed the general status and explored its distribution equity by using the Theil index. Findings: We found that Rezvanshahr and Masal had no hospital beds. The utilisation gap was positive only in Rasht, as capital of the province. Neonatal intensive care unit

Abstract:

The management of acute decompensated heart failure often requires intensive care. However, the effects of early intensive care unit/coronary care unit admission on activities of daily living (ADL) in acute decompensated heart failure patients have not been precisely evaluated. Thus, we retrospectively assessed the association between early intensive care unit admission and post-discharge ADL performance in these patients. Acute decompensated heart failure patients (New York Heart Association I–III) admitted on emergency between April 1, 2014, and December 31, 2018, were selected from the Diag

Purpose: Cardiac troponin is specific to the myocardium and is a useful biomarker for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. Detection of elevated blood levels of troponin indicates damage to myocardial cells, but does not indicate the mechanism. Causes other than acute coronary syndromes and myocardial infarction can result in troponin elevation and these conditions frequently occur in critically ill patients in the intensive care unit. The interpretation, clinical significance and appropriate management of an elevated troponin measurement in critically ill patients are uncertain. Source: St

In the last few years, important changes have occurred in the clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients that were admitted to cardiac intensive care units (CICU). Care has shifted from acute coronary syndrome patients towards elderly patients, with a high prevalence of non-ischemic cardiovascular diseases and a high burden of non-cardiovascular comorbid conditions: both increase the susceptibility of patients to developing life-threatening critical conditions. These conditions are associated with a significant symptom burden and mortality rate and an increased length of stay. In

Abstract:

A 62-year-old man was referred to the emergency department with retrosternal chest pain for 4 days. Coronary angiogram and ECG showed no occlusion of coronary vessels. Contrast-enhanced CT of thorax showed b/l pleural effusion, pneumomediastinum, right hydropneumothorax, with the underlying collapse of lungs and intercostal drainage tube in situ. Intercostal tube showed purulent discharge. Repeat oral contrast did not show any leakage through the upper gastrointestinal tract, and the patient is admitted to the intensive care unit following endotracheal intubation. However, an upper gastrointes

Abstract:

Prior to the advent of the coronary care unit (CCU), patients having an acute myocardial infarction (AMI) were managed on the general medicine wards with reported mortality rates of greater than 30%. The first CCUs are believed to be responsible for reducing mortality attributed to AMI by as much as 40%. This drastic improvement can be attributed to both advances in medical technology and in the process of health care delivery. Evolving considerably since the 1960s, the CCU is now more appropriately labeled as a cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) and represents a comprehensive system designed

Abstract:

The conditions of the pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) are associated with overloading intensive care units, conversion of hospitals, and changes in routing of patients with acute cardiovascular pathology. At the same time, medical practice is still challenged to provide medical care to patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Patients with COVID-19 and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are at a higher risk of death while the incidence of this combination of diseases will be growing. This article describes a case of diagnosis and treatment of COVID-19 in a 69-y

Aim: A popular process used to treat coronary thrombosis heart disease is coronary artery bypass transplantation. It entails by means of the segment of the vein or an artery to join aortic and coronary arteries well beyond occlusion.

Abstract:

Background: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) remains one of the most important treatment modality for all the spectrum of artherosclerotic coronary artery disease. Post PCI patients are routinely admitted into the cardiac intensive care unit (ICCU) for observation and further management during which blood pressure (BP) and other hemodynamic parameters are monitored. Blood pressure (BP) monitoring is vital for the management of hemodynamically unstable patients in the cardiac intensive care Unit (ICCU). Despite errors from inaccurate calibration, movement artifacts and over or underdamp

Introduction/Objective. Nursing Activities Score (NAS) is one of the most accepted and widely used scores for assessing the workload of the nursing staff in regards of qualitative and quantitative adequacy. The aim of this study was to evaluate and analyze nursing workload in cardiac surgery intensive care unit (CSICU) using the NAS in a contemporary set of patients undergoing heart surgery. Methods. The study included 809 consecutive patients admitted to adult CSICU who had major cardiac surgery during the year of 2019. Demographic data were collected from medical records (gender, age, type o
