Solid organ transplant training objectives for residents

J.R. Masclans, R. Vicente, M.A. Ballesteros, J. Sabater, more

Medicina Intensiva (English Edition) > 2012 > 36 > 8 > 584-588

With the aim of analyzing the current state of the educational objectives in the training of medical residents in solid organ transplantation (SOT), we conducted a review of the status of the official programs of the specialities involved in SOT, focusing particularly on lung transplantation. A survey of medical residents was also conducted to allow consideration of the topic. We obtained 44 surveys...

Antiplatelet therapies are associated with hematoma enlargement and increased mortality in intracranial hemorrhage

J.H. de Gea-García, M. Fernández-Vivas, R. Núñez-Ruiz, M. Rubio-Alonso, more

Medicina Intensiva (English Edition) > 2012 > 36 > 8 > 548-555

Antiplatelet therapy (AT) is increasingly used for treating or preventing vascular diseases, especially as a consequence of population aging. However, the risks may sometimes outweigh the benefits, mostly in relation to intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Our aim was to determine whether AT is associated with hematoma enlargement and increased mortality in ICH.A prospective, observational cohort study...

The American-European Consensus Conference definition of the acute respiratory distress syndrome is dead, long live positive end-expiratory pressure!

J. Villar, R.M. Kacmarek

Medicina Intensiva (English Edition) > 2012 > 36 > 8 > 571-575

In 1994, an American-European Consensus Conference (AECC) formalized the criteria for the diagnosis of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Although that definition is simple to apply in the clinical setting, it has been challenged over the years in several studies since the assessment of the oxygenation defect does not require standardized ventilatory support. We were the first to propose...

Influence of HBcAb positivity in the organ donor in heart transplantation

C. Chamorro, M. Aparicio

Medicina Intensiva (English Edition) > 2012 > 36 > 8 > 563-570

There is a significant risk of hepatitis B transmission from HBsAg (−), HBcAb (+) donors in liver transplantation, but there is little information about hepatitis B transmission from HBcAb heart donors. The present study examines the influence of HBcAb presence in relation to heart donor acceptance and offers an update of the published studies.Survey and medical database update from 1994 to October...

The indication of tracheotomy conditions the predictors of time to decannulation in critical patients

G. Hernández, R. Ortiz, A. Pedrosa, R. Cuena, more

Medicina Intensiva (English Edition) > 2012 > 36 > 8 > 531-539

Variables predicting optimal timing for tracheostomy decannulation remain unknown. We aimed to determine whether classifying patients into two groups according to their indications for tracheostomy could identify variables associated with time to decannulation.A prospective, observational cohort study was carried out.Two medical–surgical ICUs.We included all patients tracheostomized during ICU stay,...
