    Notes: Summary This prospective observational study was conducted to assess the current transfusion practice in critically ill patients. One thousand two hundred and forty-seven consecutive critically ill patients admitted between February 1999 and October 1999 were included in the study. Overall 666 (53%) patients were administered red cells. Transfused patients had significantly higher intensive care unit␣mortality but also had higher Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II scores and longer durations of stay. The average pretransfusion haemoglobin concentration was 〈 9 g.dl−1 in 75% of transfusion episodes. The common indications for transfusion were low haemoglobin (72%) and haemorrhage (25%). Overall, 202 (16%) and 281 (22%) of the patients were transfused platelets and fresh frozen plasma, respectively. The indications for transfusion were haemorrhage, low platelet counts, prolonged prothrombin time or to provide cover for invasive interventions. Most platelet transfusions were given at values in the order of 50–100 × 109.l−1. The pretransfusion platelet count varied according to the indications for transfusion. This study showed that transfusion practice is consistent and that in general there does not seem to be an excessive use of blood components in critically ill patients.

    The impact of Acinetobacter baumannii in the intensive care unit (2003)

    Notes: Summary Acinetobacter baumannii is a significant problem in critically ill patients. It is widespread, can colonise patients quickly and causes virulent infections. However, its overall impact on morbidity and mortality in the critically ill remains unmeasured. This study was designed to investigate A. baumannii colonisation and infection rates in a critically ill population over an 18-month period. Twenty-seven patients from a population of 347 were identified as having A. baumannii. Sixteen were colonised, whereas 11 were infected. Eleven of the 27 patients with A. baumannii died (41%). Of these, eight were colonised and three were infected. In the same period, 320 patients did not have A. baumannii and their mortality rate was 20% (n = 64). The mortality rate of patients with A. baumannii was significantly higher than that of patients without infection.

    A survey of physicians' attitudes to transfusion practice in critically ill patients in the UK (2002)

    Notes: Summary This study aimed to examine the attitudes of intensivists and haematologists to the use of blood and blood products using a scenario-based postal questionnaire. One hundred and sixty-two intensivists and 77 haematologists responded to the survey. In four scenarios, the baseline haemoglobin thresholds for red cell transfusion ranged from 6 to 12 g.dl−1. There was significant variation between scenarios (p 〈 0.005). Increasing age, high Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Status II score, surgery, acute respiratory distress syndrome, septic shock and lactic acidosis significantly (p 〈 0.005) modified the transfusion threshold. There were greater variations in the baseline threshold for platelet transfusion. The majority of respondents (72.3%) selected a baseline haemoglobin threshold between 9 and 10 g.dl−1. The thresholds for platelet transfusion were far less consistent.

    Risk factors for pressure sores in the critically ill (2000)

    Notes: Pressure sore development in the critically ill is a well-recognised problem and several risk factors have been put forward as being relevant; however, none has been proved valid in this population. This study examines the effects of specific risk factors for the development of pressure sores in the critically ill. Data on 22 specific risk factors were recorded every 8 h. Of 286 patients who were identified as having a minimum set of three predetermined risk factors, 77 developed pressure sores. Using univariate regression analysis, 18 of the 22 specific factors were identified as being significant (p 〈 0.05) in the development of pressure sores. Multivariate analysis identified five of these 18 specific risk factors as being independently significant (p 〈 0.05) in pressure sore development. These five factors were norepinephrine infusion, APACHE II score, faecal incontinence, anaemia and length of stay.

    A comparison of anaesthetic breathing systems during spontaneous ventilation (1989)

    Notes: Five anaesthetic breathing systems (Magill, Lack, Humphrey ADE, enclosed Magill and Bain) were compared using spontaneous ventilation in a simple lung model. The fresh gas flow at which rebreathing occurred was determined for each system by the application of four modified definitions of rebreathing. Two were based on the measurement of minimum inspired and two on end-expired carbon dioxide. The four A systems performed similarly with each individual definition. The rebreathing points found for each individual breathing system differed markedly between definitions, with those determined by the minimum inspired CO2, occurring at low, and probably misleading, FGF/V̇E ratio. The Bain system demonstrated rebreathing at considerably higher fresh gas flows whichever definition was used.
