Fluid overload and changes in serum creatinine after cardiac surgery: predictors of mortality and longer intensive care stay. A prospective cohort study

To evaluate and compare time of mechanical ventilation, need for use of noninvasive ventilation, length of stay in the intensive care unit, and length of hospital stay after

The aim of this study is to evaluate the functional capacity and length of stay of patients in a nosocomial intensive care unit who underwent prophylactic non-invasive ventilation

As normal range serum creatinine is not representative of normal renal function, we compared mortality rates, total hospital stay and post-surgical hospital stay for patients

the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes criteria was a powerful predictor of 30-day mortality in patients with elevated preoperative serum creatinine who underwent

This study was designed to assess the association between the value of preoperative serum BNP and mortality in patients undergoing valve replacement surgery or coronary artery

The primary aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine as an anesthetic adjuvant during CABG and valve surgery on mortality and on the length of stay in the

The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic yield, changes in treatment strategy, complications and mortality among patients on mechanical ventilation who presented

On the other hand, in hematological patients, the failure of NIMV is associated with a longer duration of mechanical ventilation, longer stay in the ICU and higher mortality
