Randomized Controlled TrialThe effect of small versus large clog size on emergency response time: A randomized controlled trial.
To assess the effect on healthcare professional emergency response time and safety of small compared to large clog size. ⋯ European size 38 clogs lead to faster emergency response times than size 47 clogs.

Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of in-bed cycling on acute muscle wasting in critically ill adults: A randomised clinical trial.
To examine whether in-bed cycling assists critically ill adults to reduce acute muscle wasting, improve function and improve quality of life following a period of critical illness. ⋯ In-bed cycling did not reduce muscle wasting in critically ill adults, but this study provides useful effect estimates for large-scale clinical trials.

Randomized Controlled Trial Observational StudyDeterminants of Total/ionized Calcium in patients undergoing citrate CVVH: A retrospective observational study.
To identify potential determinants of the Total/ionized Ca ratio (T/iCa), a marker of citrate accumulation. ⋯ Besides citrate dose, a high pH and high phosphate, albumin and APACHE are also associated with a rising T/iCa.

Review Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyAssociation between delirium prediction scores and days spent with delirium.
To determine the correlation and discriminative value of the E-PRE-DELIRIC and PRE-DELIRIC scores with delirium exposure to evaluate the prognostic value of both models. ⋯ The E-PRE-DELIRIC and PRE-DELIRIC model each poorly correlate and discriminate with days spent with delirium in the 28 days after ICU admission.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyLong-term outcome of perioperative low cardiac output syndrome in cardiac surgery: 1-year results of a multicenter randomized trial.
Perioperative myocardial dysfunction occurs frequently in cardiac surgery, and is a risk factor for morbidity and mortality. Levosimendan has been suggested to reduce mortality of patients with perioperative myocardial dysfunction. However, long-term outcome data on its efficacy in cardiac surgery are lacking. ⋯ NCT00994825 (ClinicalTrials.gov).
