Enoxaparin dosage and incidence of venous thromboembolism in critically ill patients with COVID-19

Beneš J., Kalina M., Černý V.

Anest. intenziv. Med. 2024;35(4):215-222 | DOI: 10.36290/aim.2024.032

Objective: COVID-19 is associated with a high risk of thromboembolic disease (VTE) and this risk is further increased in critically ill patients. Elevated D-dimer levels are a predictor of severe COVID-19 disease. Data on the incidence of VTE, mortality of critically ill patients with COVID-19, and its association with the dose of prophylactic anticoagulation in Czechia have not been published. We performed a retrospective analysis of patients with COVID-19 admitted to the intensive care unit. The primary endpoint was new-onset deep vein thrombosis during ICU stay. Secondary objectives were incidence of pulmonary embolism, venous thromboembolism (deep...

Issues of pain assessment in patients with delirium in intensive care - narrative review

Mica P., Čundrle I.

Anest. intenziv. Med. 2024;35(4):223-228 | DOI: 10.36290/aim.2024.044

Intensive care patients frequently experience delirium and pain. Their occurrence is a contributing factor to the increased morbidity and mortality and organ complications in these patients. For a variety of reasons, the evaluation of pain in delirium patients is challenging. It is advisable to employ validated tools for its evaluation. Initiating targeted therapy and identifying pain and delirium early are the primary responsibilities of the attending staff.

Since when is salt acidic? Do we really understand hyperchloremic acidosis?

Šitina M.

Anest. intenziv. Med. 2024;35(4):229-235 | DOI: 10.36290/aim.2024.028

The article compares 2 perspectives on acid-base considerations. The formal view, of Stewart, is suitable for exact calculations, but less intuitively understandable, since it does not deal with the question of the internal mechanisms of acid-base processes, but suffices to satisfy formal physical-chemical laws. And the intuitive view, which provides a comprehensible qualitative idea of the direction, toward acidosis or alkalosis, in which acid-base will evolve. The article further explains the nature of dilutional and hyperchloremic acidosis and shows that not NaCl but water in solution is its cause.

Selective peripheral nerve blocks of the upper extremity

Nalos D., Naňka O., Beňo L., Zapletal J.

Anest. intenziv. Med. 2024;35(4):236-241 | DOI: 10.36290/aim.2024.058

The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the possibilities of selective peripheral nerve blocks of the upper extremity suitable for minor surgical procedures and invasive analgesic treatment. The development of ultrasound assistance allows for more precise localization of the course of nerves and offers the possibility of selective blockades with minimal impact on postoperative mobility. To facilitate needle tip navigation, the article emphasizes the relationship of nerve pathways to vascular, muscular, and fascial structures.

A case report of non­‑menstrual toxic shock syndrome in a patient after lipoma extirpation

Míl O.

Anest. intenziv. Med. 2024;35(4):242-244 | DOI: 10.36290/aim.2024.033

Toxic shock syndrome (TSS) is a rare but potentially life-threatening disease. Because of its aggressiveness and multi-organ involvement, the patient's greatest hope (and at the same time a stumbling block for his broad differential diagnosis) is the recognition of this syndrome and adequate therapy. In the last 40 years, only 156 cases of non-menstrual TSS have been described in domestic literature, of which 29 ended fatally [1], therefore we also present one such case report from our workplace.

Intrakraniální hypotenze u mladého muže v souvislosti s poraněním ramene

Kalina M., Černý V.

Anest. intenziv. Med. 2024;35(4):245-247 | DOI: 10.36290/aim.2024.042

Intrakraniální hypotenze je relativně vzácná jednotka projevující se širokou škálou příznaků. Typicky je charakterizována posturálními bolestmi hlavy, vzácně též kómatem. Těžké případy mohou být život ohrožující. Ve většině případů je intrakraniální hypotenze způsobena opakovanými lumbálními punkcemi nebo je spontánní. V této kazuistice popisujeme případ, kdy intrakraniální hypotenze byla spojena s traumatem ramene s poraněním brachiálního plexu.

Violent patient after cocaine intoxication in the emergency department - case report

Pekara J., Jindříšek Z., Páv M.

Anest. intenziv. Med. 2024;35(4):248-251 | DOI: 10.36290/aim.2024.055

This case report describes the case of a 25-year-old man following cocaine intoxication in the context of a described diagnosis of schizophrenia during the incident. The patient was found on the street, dominated by delusional production, threatening aggression, and homicide. After the emergency room collections were made, there was boisterous behavior and destruction of property. The patient eventually ended up at the detention center with police assistance, where the violent state subsided after restraint and medication administration. The case report is a good example of emergency room staff working together to manage very agitated patients.
