Abstract

The characteristics and outcome of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) may have changed with time. Some studies have reported that mortality is more commonly related to the development of sepsis/multiple organ failure (MOF), and others that it is related to the severity of acute respiratory failure (ARF). The present study evaluates the relative importance of the two phenomena in a large series of patients. The clinical and biological data of all patients who developed ARDS during a 26 month period (January 1993 until February 1995) in our intensive care unit (ICU) were reviewed retrospectively. A total of 129 patients developed ARDS during the study period, representing an incidence of 2.4% of all ICU admissions. The mortality rate was 52%. The primary cause of death was sepsis/MOF (49%), followed by respiratory failure (16%), cardiac failure or arrhythmias (15%), neurological failure (10%), and other causes (8%). The mortality rate was related to age and degree of organ failure. MOF was not always a cause of late death, since half the deaths occurred within 5 days after admission. In addition, mortality was higher in septic than in nonseptic patients, and lower in trauma and surgical than in medical patients. We conclu...Continue Reading

Atrial Fibrillation

Atrial fibrillation is a common arrhythmia that is associated with substantial morbidity and mortality, particularly due to stroke and thromboembolism. Here is the latest research.

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
