Study of the Vasopressor Effects of Oxytocics When Used Intravenously in the Third Stage of Labor
It has now been generally accepted that the use of oxytocic agents for the control of post-partum hemorrhage is indicated in the practice of good obstetrics. Hamilton, Higgins, and Alsop (1) have stated! | "The use of oxytocic agents in the third stage of labor has become so firmly established in …

Maternal and cardiac output response to vasopressor therapy during spinal anaesthesia for Caesarean Section in severe preeclampsia
… The maternal haemodynamic responses to vasopressors during spinal anaesthesia for caesarean delivery in patients with severe preeclampsia, have not been accurately described. This study compared the haemodynamic effects of the vasopressors ephedrine and phenylephrine during spinal …

The influence of body mass index on sensorimotor block and vasopressor requirement during spinal anaesthesia for elective caesarean section
… would not have a clinically important effect on vasopressor requirements or block height. Methods: Two groups of 25 parturients, Group O (BMI >40 kg/m²) and Group N (BMI <32 kg/m²) requiring elective cesarean delivery were recruited. All patients received 10 mg intrathecal hyperbaric bupivacaine …

Cardiac arrest – prognostic biomarkers and aspects of shock
… temperatures (33°C and 36°C) on hemodynamics and vasopressor requirement in cardiac arrest patients and; Third, to investigate the association of target temperature with outcome in patients with shock in admission. Methods: The biomarkers were collected serially at 8 time points during the first …

Generalizable neural network representations of patient state in the intensive care unit
… mortality and first onset of ventilator and vasopressor interventions. Our best representations achieve AUCs of 0.83, 0.91, and 0.91 on the tasks of mortality prediction, vasopressor first onset prediction, and ventilator first onset prediction, which is comparable to the performances using …

Serum Albumin as Outcome Predictor in Adult ICU Patients with Sepsis
… to a state of chronic critical illness, vasopressor use, presence of ICU delirium, and readmission to the ICU). Low serum albumin trend, low admission albumin level, and low minimum albumin level significantly predicted mortality while controlling for age. The combination of serum albumin …

Antiplatelet and antihypertensive actions of ridogrel
… by ridogrel pre-treatment. The reduction in vasopressor responses to those agents, following repeated administration of ridogrel, suggests modulation of vascular responses by a more generalized mechanism, or that a TP receptor-mediated component contributes to the contractile responses caused …

Bettering Patient Outcomes in the ICU with the ICU Liberation Bundle (A-F): A Thesis
… that can include mechanical ventilation, vasopressor medications, invasive procedures, as well as administration of sedation and analgesia. Many patients can leave the ICU with anxiety, PTSD, and depression (Marra et al., 2017). In 2018 the PADIS (Pain, Agitation/Sedation, Immobility, and …

Candida bloodstream infection among children hospitalized in three public sector hospitals in the Metro West region of Cape Town, South Africa
… with moderate or severe underweight-for-age and vasopressor therapy was administered to 22 (28.6%) participants. Fluconazole resistance was documented among 25% and 0% of non-C. albicans and C. albicans isolates respectively. All Candida isolates tested were susceptible to amphotericin B and the …

A Recurrent Network Approach to G-Computation for Sepsis Outcome Prediction Under Dynamic Treatment Regimes
… the administration of intravenous fluids and vasopressors, but prescribing the correct balance of interventions is challenging since both under- and over-resuscitation can lead to adverse outcomes. While many retrospective studies have attempted to understand the relationship between sepsis …

A randomised comparison of bolus phenylephrine and ephedrine for the management of spinal hypotension in patients with severe preeclampsia and a non-reassuring fetal heart rate trace
… A total of 133 women were included;; 64 required vasopressor treatment and were randomised to 2 groups of 32 with similar patient characteristics. Pre- delivery blood pressure changes were similar in the 2 groups. There was no difference in mean [SD] UA base deficit (-4.9 [3.7] vs -6.0 [4.6] …

Haemodynamic consequences of Spinal Anaesthesia for non-emergency Caesarean section
… Crystalloid coload was associated with lower vasopressor requirements than conventional preload. Spinal anaesthesia was associated with afterload reduction, which was more pronounced in healthy patients than in preeclamptics. Ephedrine maintained or increased, and phenylephrine reduced …
