| Abstract | Vasopressors are administered to critically ill patients suffering from a body-wide reduction in blood circulation. In theory, if the vasopressor infusion is either too high or too low, it could be harmful to the patient. In a retrospective analysis, we investigated the degree to which today's intensive care unit (ICU) patients receive appropriate vasopressor therapy, in terms of how often the mean arterial pressure (MAP) was kept within a normative range. Using the MIMIC II database, we studied patients with minute-by-minute MAP data, sourced from the bedside monitor, who were receiving vasopressor therapy. For each record, we identified MAP samples that were out-of-range, i.e., MAP <; 60 mmHg or MAP > 100 mmHg, and grouped these into out-of-range episodes. Each out-of-range episode was categorized as either transient (<; 15 min) or sustained (≥ 15 min). Out of the 224 ICU stays, we identified 152 ICU stays (68% of ICU stays) with at least one sustained MAP out-of-range episode. In that subset, MAP was frequently out-of-range (out-of-range 18.4% of the time) due to a combination of sustained episodes of hypotension and hypertension. Compared with all ICU stays, those stays with sustained out-of-range events did not demonstrate an increased MAP variability per hour. It is possible that the out-of-range events resulted from insufficient dose-adjustment. Technologies that might continuously optimize vasopressor dosing throughout the patient's stay and thereby minimize these abnormal cardiovascular states may be worthy of further study. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
