Non-Invasive Monitoring of Microvascular Oxygenation and Reactive Hyperemia using Hybrid, Near-Infrared Diffuse Optical Spectroscopy for Critical Care

The detection of levels of impairment in microvascular oxygen consumption and reactive hyperemia is vital in critical care. However, there are no ...

Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is a frequent cause of death worldwide. As recently described, CAP shows different biological endotypes. Improving characterization of these endotypes is needed to optimize individualized treatment of this disease. The potential value of the leukogram to assist prognosis in severe CAP has not been previously addressed.

Impact of Lymphocyte and Neutrophil Counts on Mortality Risk in Severe Community-Acquired Pneumonia with or without Septic Shock.

To explore the relationship between central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference (PCO), PCO/arterial-venous oxygen content difference ratio (PCO/CO) and the microcirculatory status, evaluated by using near-infrared spectroscopy, in septic shock patients.

Central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference combined with arterial-to-venous oxygen content difference (PCO/CO) reflects microcirculatory oxygenation alterations in early septic shock.
