Does Naloxone Infusion Improve Recovery from Delirium in Intensive Care Unit? A Worth Exploring Project Into An Uncharted Domain
Abstract: Hypoactive delirium is difficult to differentiate from over-sedation and is often treated as such. However, hyperactive delirium with its agitation component is easily identified and differentiated by the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) personnel. This type of delirium irrespective of its underlying etiologies or risk factor..

Pre-Existing Isolated Diastolic Heart Dysfunction in Mechanically Ventilated Patient: Obscure Panic Attacks Pre-Intubation and Unexplained Delirium Post-Intubation
Abstract : Delirium in intensive care units (ICUs) does not always represent underlying cerebral causes. We hereby present a difficult case of ICU delirium that was secondary to undiagnosed isolated diastolic heart dysfunction (IDHD). Delirium should be considered in the larger perspective of cardio-pulmonary-cerebral etio-pathog..

Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Deflation Generated Suction-like Forward Aortic Blood Flow and Auto-Triggering of a Flow-Triggered Mechanical Ventilator
Abstract : Auto-triggering with the mechanical ventilators can be a problematic nuisance; however, it can be catastrophic too if the resultant respiratory alkalosis is not recognized early and treated with technical changes within the ventilatory mode and/or trigger settings of mechanical ventilation. We hereby present a postoper..
