ICU sedation, delirium & recovery

In-hospital outcomes after acute myocardial infarction with obstructive coronary artery disease in critically ill patients hospitalized for non-cardiac disease

Ann Intensive CarePublished Retrospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Patients who have an AMI with OCAD during an ICU stay for non-cardiac disease are at risk of a composite outcome of severe ischemia, major bleeding, and death. A history of arterial hypertension and high SOFA scores were independent hazards for poor prognosis.
