Decision to perform this observational study was made due to the lack of information on the local incidence and risk factors for the development of immediate postoperative delirium (IPD).
A literature review was done to study the already implicated perioperative causative factors as well as other
Before 2006, the recommended initial refeeding rate was around 20-25kcal/kg/day for severely malnourished patients. But due to the risk of RFS, the National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in 2006 published new guidelines, recommending a very cautious refeeding level of only 5-10

Patients undergoing for aortic valve replacement will be enrolled in the study after giving the signed informed consent and will be divided in two groups depending on the type of the surgical technique. Either full sternotomy (FS) or minimal invasive sternotomy (MIS) will be performed, both with the
BACKGROUND Post-operative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) is defined as a spectrum of postoperative central nervous system dysfunctions both acute and persistent, including subtle neurologic signs and neuropsychological impairment. The incidence of POCD is clearly associated with the age of patients,
There is strong experimental and clinical rationale for the use of ammonia-lowering therapies in ALF. Ammonia is normally produced in the gut and transformed by the liver into urea. As the liver fails, ammonia increases in the systemic circulation and enters into the brain. The result of a rapid
Non-invasive positive-pressure ventilation (NPPV) is increasingly being used to manage patients with acute respiratory failure (ARF) in an effort to avoid the numerous negative sequelae associated with intubation and mechanical ventilation. In the USA, it is estimated that 20-30% of all patients
