Article Synopsis
- The study examined how sedation levels and the use of certain medications, like benzodiazepines and opioids, affected clinical outcomes in critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation in Lima, Peru.
- The research followed 1,657 patients over 28 days, revealing that deep sedation was linked to significantly higher mortality rates and fewer days without ventilator, ICU, and hospital dependency.
- Additionally, while benzodiazepines were commonly used and associated with increased death risk, haloperidol showed a potential benefit, resulting in lower mortality rates among patients.
Objectives: To determine the actual nutritional intake of very low birth weight infants and their growth outcome during the first month of life. Additionally, we identified factors that account for a negative neonatal outcome in this population.
Methods: A case-series study was conducted in a tertiary hospital in Lima, Peru between 2011 and 2012 and the data was obtained from medical records.
