Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the usefulness of simple motor tasks such as hand grasping and tongue protrusion as predictors of extubation failure in critically ill neurological patients. Methods: This was a prospective cohort study conducted in the neurological ICU of a tertiary care hospital in the city of Porto Alegre, Brazil. Adult patients who had been intubated for neurological reasons and were eligible for weaning were included in the study. The ability of patients to perform simple motor tasks such as hand grasping and tongue protrusion was evaluated as a predictor of extubation failure. Data regarding duration of mechanical ventilation, length of ICU stay, length of hospital stay, mortality, and incidence of ventilator-associated pneumonia were collected. Results: A total of 132 intubated patients who had been receiving mechanical ventilation for at least 24 h and who passed a spontaneous breathing trial were included in the analysis. Logistic regression showed that patient inability to grasp the hand of the examiner (relative risk = 1.57; 95% CI: 1.01-2.44; p < 0.045) and protrude the tongue (relative risk = 6.84; 95% CI: 2.49-18.8; p < 0.001) were independent risk factors for extubation failure. Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II scores (p = 0.02), Glasgow Coma Scale scores at extubation (p < 0.001), eye opening response (p = 0.001), MIP (p < 0.001), MEP (p = 0.006), and the rapid shallow breathing index (p = 0.03) were significantly different between the failed extubation and successful extubation groups. Conclusions: The inability to follow simple motor commands is predictive of extubation failure in critically ill neurological patients. Hand grasping and tongue protrusion on command might be quick and easy bedside tests to identify neurocritical care patients who are candidates for extubation.

Abstract
Perspectives on invasive and noninvasive ventilatory support for critically ill
patients are evolving, as much evidence indicates that ventilation may have positive
effects on patient survival and the quality of the care provided in intensive care
units in Brazil. For those reasons, the Brazilian Association of Intensive Care
Medicine (Associação de Medicina Intensiva Brasileira - AMIB) and
the Brazilian Thoracic Society (Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e
Tisiologia - SBPT), represented by the Mechanical Ventilation Committee
and the Commission of Intensive Therapy, respectively, decided to review the
literature and draft recommendations for mechanical ventilation with the goal of
creating a document for bedside guidance as to the best practices on mechanical
ventilation available to their members. The document was based on the available
evidence regarding 29 subtopics selected as the most relevant for the subject of
interest. The project was developed in several stages, during which the selected
topics were distributed among experts recommended by both societies with recent
publications on the subject of interest and/or significant teaching and research
activity in the field of mechanical ventilation in Brazil. The experts were divided
into pairs that were charged with performing a thorough review of the international
literature on each topic. All the experts met at the Forum on Mechanical Ventilation,
which was held at the headquarters of AMIB in São Paulo on August 3 and 4, 2013, to
collaboratively draft the final text corresponding to each sub-topic, which was
presented to, appraised, discussed and approved in a plenary session that included
all 58 participants and aimed to create the final document.

Abstract
AIM In this study we aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of enoxaparin with unfractioned heparin (UFH) as anticoagulant for continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD). METHODS An open-label randomized controlled trial was carried out in an intensive care unit (ICU) where 40 patients with acute renal failure (ARF) who needed continuous renal replacement therapy were randomized to receive UFH (n=21) or enoxaparin (n=19). Coagulation parameters were evaluated, and antithrombotic activity of UFH was measured by activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and for enoxaparin by anti-factor Xa activity. Primary outcomes were thrombosis of the extracorporeal circuit and bleeding, classified as major or minor. RESULTS Minor bleeding episodes were observed only in patients anticoagulated with enoxaparin (26 vs. 0%, p=0.018). Comparing patients with or without bleeding after 24 hours of therapy, the level of anticoagulation tended to be higher (anti-factor Xa: 1.62 vs. 1.13 IU/mL, p=0.09) and the platelet count to be lower [107+/-53 vs. 229+/-84 (x10(3)/microL), p=0.09] in patients who bled, but without statistical difference. Filter life span of enoxaparin and UFH groups was similar (43+/-15 vs. 52+/-18 hr, p=0.10), as well as the proportion of circuit clotting. CONCLUSION Weight-unadjusted enoxaparin in patients with ARF in CVVHD was associated with an increased rate of bleeding, a finding that addresses the need to adjust drug dose and to monitor anti-factor Xa activity during dialysis. No benefit to prolong dialysis circuit survival was found with enoxaparin. In patients who do not present contraindication for systemic anticoagulation, UFH remains an effective and low-cost option.
