[The myocardium protective effects of erythropoietin (EPO) in a rat model of asphyxia-induced cardiac arrest/cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)].
To examine the effects of EPO administration on the integrity of myocardium in a rat model of asphyxia-induced cardiac arrest/CPR. ⋯ EPO can attenuate the post resuscitation myocardial injury probably through its mitochondrial protective, anti-apoptotic effect.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study[Comparison of sedative effect of dexmedetomidine and midazolam for post-operative patients undergoing mechanical ventilation in surgical intensive care unit].
To study sedative effect and safety of dexmedetomidine and midazolam for post-operative patients undergoing mechanical ventilation(MV) in surgical intensive care unit(SICU). ⋯ Sedative effect of dexmedetomidine is satisfactory for patients undergoing MV after operation, with the property of easier arousal, lower delirium rate, and it helps to shorten the duration of MV with reduction the dosage of fentanyl by 50%. However, it is necessary to enhance observation in order to prevent and control hypotension and bradycardia.

[Combined effects of elevated body position on gastroesophageal reflux and intra-abdominal pressure in mechanical ventilated patients].
To investigate the combined effects of elevated body position on gastroesophageal reflux and intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) in patients undergoing mechanical ventilation (MV) who were receiving enteral nutrition, and to find out their proper height of head of bed. ⋯ Although elevation of the body position of MV patients can reduce gastroesophageal reflux, it also increase the IAP. When the body position is elevated to 45 degree angle, the number of reflux is not reduced effectively, while the rate of high esophageal reflux and the patients' IAP are increased significantly, indicating that 30 degree might be the proper body position for the MV patients receiving enteral nutrition.

Meta Analysis[Efficacy of heat and moisture exchangers and heated humidifiers in preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia: a meta-analysis].
To demonstrate the effects of heat and moisture exchangers (HME) and heated humidifiers(HH) in preventing ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). ⋯ This study suggests there is not a significant reduction in the incidence of VAP in patients humidified with HMEs during MV, even in patients ventilated for 7 days or longer. This finding is limited by lack of enough RCTs and blinding. Further large sample of high quality RCTs is necessary to examine the wider applicability of HMEs and their extended use.

Randomized Controlled Trial[The efficacy of intermittent pneumatic compression in the prevention of venous thromboembolism in medical critically ill patients].
To evaluate the efficacy of intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) in the prevention of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in medical critically ill patients. ⋯ IPC can prevent VTE, and lower the rate of non-sudden cardiac death, and it is safe in medical critically ill patients.
