Background Prolonged capillary refill time (CRT) is an indicator of poor peripheral perfusion.
The aim of the systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the association of …

Background Transition from continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) to intermittent
renal replacement therapy (IRRT) can be associated with intra-dialytic hypotension (IDH) …

Background Active fluid removal has been suggested to improve prognosis following the
resolution of acute circulatory failure. We have implemented a routine care protocol to guide …

Introduction Recent studies have shown the prognostic value of capillary refill time (CRT)
and suggested that resuscitation management guided by CRT may reduce morbidity and …

Background Tracheal intubation and invasive mechanical ventilation initiation is a
procedure at high risk for arterial hypotension in intensive care unit. However, little is known …

Background This systematic review aims to identify predictors of intradialytic hypotension
(IDH) in critically ill patients undergoing kidney replacement therapy (KRT) for acute kidney …

Fluids are a key component of the initial resuscitation of critically ill patients. These are
administered to compensate for external losses and relative hypovolemia but also for …

Background Continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) can be used to reduce fluid
overload and tissue edema, but excessive fluid removal may impair tissue perfusion. Skin …

Introduction Up to 70% of intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) sessions in critically ill patients are
complicated by hemodynamic instability. Although several clinical characteristics have been …
