Low Reticulocyte Hemoglobin Content Is Associated with a Higher Blood Transfusion Rate in Critically Ill Patients: A Cohort Study
Approximately 3,500 blood transfusions are given to intensive care unit (ICU) patients daily in the United States.Although there are no reliable predictors of transfusion requirements, ICU patients with functional iron deficiency may be at higher risk for developing anemia requiring blood transfusion. A prospective cohort study of 62 patients was conducted to assess the effects of low reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr 29 pg) on transfusion rates. The overall transfusion rate was 22.6%; the rate was 39.1%versus 12.8%, in low-CHr and normal-CHr patients, respectively. Patients with low CHr (37%) had a longer medianICU stay (8 vs. 5 days), were more likely to have sepsis, and weremore prone to acute renal failure (39% vs. 13%) and ICU-acquired infection (30% vs. 10%) compared with patients with normal CHr. Low CHr was significantly associated with transfusion regardless of age, severity of illness, trauma, or hemoglobin level. Low CHr is common at ICU admission and was associated with higher transfusion requirements.
Despite evidence for implicit memory, which may result in changes in behavior during anesthesia in adults,evidence in children is less clear. This randomized, double-blind controlled trial in children aged 5 to 12 yr(N=312) used perceptual priming (via a degraded auditory stimulus recognition task) to detect potential development of implicit memory after anesthesia. Either a sheep sound or white noise was played continuously through headphones during general anesthesia. On recovery, children were played a sheep sound degraded by a white noisemask that progressively decreased over 60 s, with the outcome being the time taken to correctly recognize the sheep sound. There was little evidence that exposure to a sheep sound during anesthesia was associated with postoperative time to recognition of a degraded sheep sound. This study presents additional support that implicitmemory formation during routine anesthesia is not a clinical concern for pediatric anesthesiologists.
尽管有隐记忆的证据,这可能导致在麻醉期间成年人行为的变化,儿童证据不太清楚。这项随机双盲对照试验在5岁至12岁(N=312)通过使用退化的听觉刺激识别任务知觉启动来检测麻醉后的儿童隐记忆潜在发展。全身麻醉期间通过耳机播放绵羊声音或噪声。关于恢复,孩子们发挥了白色noisemask,逐渐下降超过60 S与目前采取的正确识别声音的时间结果羊,绵羊声音退化。很少有证据表明,麻醉暴露羊的声音与术后时间的退化羊声音识别有关。本研究提出更多的支持,在日常麻醉隐记忆的形成不是一个儿科临床麻醉医师常关注。
