MetaVision facilitates study about benefits of late parenteral nutrition in critically ill adults
August 2011|New England Journal of Medicine
A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine utilized MetaVision to assist researchers in managing the nutritional needs of critically ill patients. The study found that late parenteral nutrition was associated with fewer infections, enhanced recovery, and lower health care costs. The MetaVision patient data management system was used in order to calculate the daily volumes of enteral and parenteral nutrition administered to each patient, according to the required protocol.

Evaluation of short-term consequences of hypoglycemia in an intensive care unit
November 2006|Critical Care Medicine
In this study, no association between incidental hypoglycemia and mortality was found. However, this data set is too small to definitely exclude the possibility that hypoglycemia is associated with intensive care unit mortality. In three patients with possible hypoglycemia-associated coma or seizures, a causal role for hypoglycemia seemed likely but could not fully be established.

Tracheotomy does not affect reducing sedation requirements of patients in intensive care - a retrosp
July 2006|Critical Care
In the intensive care unit in question, sedation requirements were not further reduced after tracheotomy. Sedation requirements were already sharply declining before tracheotomy was performed.

Predisposing factors for hypoglycemia in the intensive care unit
January 2006|Critical Care Medicine
Use of bicarbonate-based substitution fluid during continuous venovenous hemofiltration, a decrease of nutrition without adjustment for insulin infusion, a prior diagnosis of diabetes
mellitus, sepsis, and need for inotropic support were found to be associated with hypoglycemia. Simultaneous use of insulin and octreotide may be associated with hypoglycemia.

December 2005|Critical Care
In the ICU, daily routine CXRs seldom reveal unexpected, clinically relevant abnormalities, and they rarely prompt action. The researchers propose that this diagnostic examination be abandoned in ICU patients.

Progression rate of self-propelled feeding tubes in critically ill patients
December 2002|Intensive Care Medicine
Self-propelled feeding tubes progressed from the stomach to the postpyloric position in 49% of patients, reducing the number of endoscopic placements: these tubes may facilitate enteral nutrient delivery in the ICU.
