Anest. intenziv. Med. 2012;23(3):129-132  

Intensive care medicine is characterized by extreme complexity generating large quantities of highly dynamic data. Daily rounds have become an integral part of critical care medicine, aimed at comprehensive analysis of the data and providing excellent care. To fulfill its role, the structure and process of an ICU round have to be clearly defined. Key components of an ICU round include communication of information within and between all members of the critical care staff, exact assessment of the patient's status, setting strategic short- and long-term goals, and assignment of tasks and responsibilities. This article summarizes the basic aspects of an...

Mechanical circulatory support devices (MCS) constitute an important part of acute and chronic heart failure therapy. The principal objective of the MCS implantation is to restore adequate circulation including optimal oxygen delivery to the tissues with subsequent normalization of tissue functions. The most frequent indications for MCS implantation are bridge-to-heart transplantation, and bridge-to-recovery after various types of myocardial injury (e.g., acute myocardial infarction, myocarditis, extensive cardiac surgical procedures). In the Czech Republic, the most frequently used MCS devices are the intraaortic balloon pump, ventricular assist devices...

Anest. intenziv. Med. 2012;23(3):138-146  

This review article of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) in cardiac arrest survivors is a transcription of the lecture presented at the Update In Intensive Care Medicine 2011 course by the Institute for Postgraduate Medical Education. In the light of current knowledge, the author describes the place of TH in complex post-cardiac arrest intensive care, analyzes answers to the questions "When to start cool?", "Whom to cool?", "For how long and how deep to cool?" and "How to cool?", assesses practical issues of delivering TH and presents a personal opinion on the current discussion whether TH should be used or not. TH in cardiac arrest patiens is an effective...

Current position of exctracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in the treatment of respiratory and circulatory failure in childrenUpdate in Intensive Care Medicine

Current knowledge of the exctracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) method, which is generally used in children, is reviewed in this article. A change in the spectrum of diseases indicated for ECMO therapy in children has been well documented during the past fifteen years. The number of chronically ill children undergoing ECMO is rising, the percentage of co-morbidity-free survivors out of the total ECMO survivor population has increased, survival among chronically ill children has decreased whereas the total number of treated children by ECMO has increased. The incidence of the veno-venous ECMO modality has risen compared to the venous-arterial ECMO...

Anest. intenziv. Med. 2012;23(3):152-155  

Transfusion of a blood product is an integral part of the comprehensive therapy used in critically ill children and neonates. This population is in general at a high risk of side-effects due to the administered blood transfusion. It is considered that the techniques of preparation of blood products have evolved with the technological advances to increase the safety of the therapy in young children and neonates especially. Unambiguous guidelines are not published yet whereas protocols and indications for blood transfusion and the transfusion practice follow recommendations of specialist societies. They depend on the age of the child, haemoglobin or...
