[Microbial characteristics in culture-positive sepsis and risk factors of polymicrobial infection in ICU].
To investigate the clinical characteristics and pathogenic microorganisms in culture-positive sepsis, to identify its risk factors, and evaluate the prognosis on polymicrobial infection in intensive care unit (ICU). ⋯ The most common pathogen of ICU sepsis is gram-positive cocci. Independent risk factors for polymicrobial infections were found to be advanced age, occurrence of cerebrovascular disease, prolonged mechanical ventilation, and recent hospitalization. Polymicrobial infection is associated with longer length of ICU and hospital stay, as well as higher mortality.

[The value of passive leg raising test in predicting fluid responsiveness in patients with sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction].
To assess the value of passive leg raising (PLR) test in predicting fluid responsiveness in patients with sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction. ⋯ In patients with sepsis-induced cardiac dysfunction, changes in SV and CO induced by PLR are accurate indices for predicting fluid responsiveness, but the changes in HR, MAP, SBP and PP cannot predict the fluid responsiveness.
