Differences in compliance with Surviving Sepsis Campaign recommendations accord...
Almeida, M.; Ribeiro, O.; Aragão, I.; Costa-Pereira, A.; Cardoso, T.Introduction Higher compliance with Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) recommendations has been associated with lower mortality. The authors evaluate differences in compliance with SSC 6-hour bundle according to hospital entrance time (day versus night) and its impact on hospital mortality. Methods Prospective cohort study of all patients with community-acquired severe sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit o...
Deliriumin the ICU setting ‐ a subjective and theoretical survey before the imp...
Bragança, J. P.; Rodrigues, G.; Aragão, I.; Teixeira, C.; Quintaneiro, C.Background and Goal of Study: The current definition of delirium comprises acute change or fluctuation in mental status and inattention, accompanied by either altered level of consciousness or disorganized thinking. It is a frequent condition in the ICU and it is associated with longer hospital stay, increase in mortality at 6 months and long-term cognitive impairment, but remains under diagnosed. The Confusion...
Differences in microbiological profile between community-acquired, healthcare-a...
Cardoso, T.; Ribeiro, O.; Aragâo, I; Costa-Pereira, A.; Sarmento, A.INTRODUCTION: Microbiological profiles were analysed and compared for intra-abdominal, urinary, respiratory and bloodstream infections according to place of acquisition: community-acquired, with a separate analysis of healthcare-associated, and hospital-acquired. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Prospective cohort study performed at a university tertiary care hospital over 1 year. Inclusion criteria were meeting the Cente...
Predisposition, Insult/Infection, Response and Organ Dysfunction (PIRO): A Pilo...
Cardoso, T.; Teixeira-Pinto, A.; Rodrigues, P.; Aragão, I.; Costa-Pereira, A.; Sarmento, A.Purpose To develop a clinical staging system based on the PIRO concept (Predisposition, Infection, Response and Organ dysfunction) for hospitalized patients with infection. Methods One year prospective cohort study of all hospitalized patients with infection (n = 1035), admitted into a large tertiary care, university hospital. Variables associated with hospital mortality were selected using logistic regressi...
The impact of healthcare-associated infection on mortality: failure in clinical...
Cardoso, T.; Ribeiro, O.; Aragão, I.; Costa-Pereira, A.; Sarmento, A.Purpose To understand if clinicians can tell apart patients with healthcare-associated infections (HCAI) from those with community-acquired infections (CAI) and to determine the impact of HCAI in the adequacy of initial antibiotic therapy and hospital mortality. Methods One-year prospective cohort study including all consecutive infected patients admitted to a large university tertiary care hospital. Result...
Additional Risk factors for infection by multidrug-resistant pathogens in healt...
Cardoso, T.; Ribeiro, O.; Aragão, I.; Costa-Pereira, A.; Sarmento, A.BACKGROUND: There is a lack of consensus regarding the definition of risk factors for healthcare-associated infection (HCAI). The purpose of this study was to identify additional risk factors for HCAI, which are not included in the current definition of HCAI, associated with infection by multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, in all hospitalized infected patients from the community. METHODS: This 1-year prospect...

Successful pregnancy in a severely hypoxemic patient with pulmonary alveolar pr...
Belchior, I.; Cerdeira, A.; Santos, M.; Braga, J.; Aragâo, I.; Martins, A.Abstract Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare disorder characterized by abnormal accumulation of a lipoproteinaceous material in the alveoli, which may lead to respiratory failure and has an associated high risk for infections. The mainstay treatment for PAP is whole lung lavage. A pregnant woman, previously diagnosed with primary PAP, the most common form of PAP, was admitted with dyspnea and worseni...
Non-invasive ventilation in cardiogenic pulmonary edema in the emergency depart...
Carvalho, L.; Carneiro, R.; Freire, E.; Pinheiro, P.; Aragão, I.; Martins, A.Abstract Bilevel positive pressure (BiPAP) non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is frequently used in our emergency department (ED), as an adjuvant in the treatment of acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE) to reduce the need for tracheal intubation (TI) in these patients. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the safety of NIV in patients with ACPE in our ED, used by a group of physicians outside the intensive ...
