Exercise training prevents skeletal muscle damage in an experimental sepsis model
Coelho C, Jannig P, Souza A, Fronza Jr H, Westphal G, Petronilho F, et al.
Clinics (Sao Paulo) . 2013 Feb; 68(1):107-14. PMID: 23420166
Objective: Oxidative stress plays an important role in skeletal muscle damage in sepsis. Aerobic exercise can decrease oxidative stress and enhance antioxidant defenses. Therefore, it was hypothesized that aerobic exercise...

Reduced mortality after the implementation of a protocol for the early detection of severe sepsis
Westphal G, Koenig A, Filho M, Feijo J, de Oliveira L, Nunes F, et al.
J Crit Care . 2010 Nov; 26(1):76-81. PMID: 21036531
Objective: We evaluate the impact that implementing an in-hospital protocol for the early detection of sepsis risk has on mortality from severe sepsis/septic shock. Methods: This was a prospective cohort...

Vasodilation increases pulse pressure variation, mimicking hypovolemic status in rabbits
Westphal G, Goncalves A, Bedin A, Steglich R, Silva E, Poli-de-Figueiredo L
Clinics (Sao Paulo) . 2010 Feb; 65(2):189-94. PMID: 20186303
Objective: To test the hypothesis that pulse pressure respiratory variation (PPV) amplification, observed in hypovolemia, can also be observed during sodium nitroprusside (SNP)-induced vasodilation. Introduction: PPV is largely used for...

A randomized controlled trial comparing a computer-assisted insulin infusion protocol with a strict and a conventional protocol for glucose control in critically ill patients
Cavalcanti A, Silva E, Pereira A, Caldeira-Filho M, Almeida F, Westphal G, et al.
J Crit Care . 2009 Jul; 24(3):371-8. PMID: 19592202
Purpose: The objective of this study is to evaluate blood glucose (BG) control efficacy and safety of 3 insulin protocols in medical intensive care unit (MICU) patients. Methods: This was...

Pulse oximetry wave variation as a noninvasive tool to assess volume status in cardiac surgery
Westphal G, Silva E, Goncalves A, Filho M, Poli-de-Figueiredo L
Clinics (Sao Paulo) . 2009 Jun; 64(4):337-43. PMID: 19488592
Objective: To compare variations of plethysmographic wave amplitude (DeltaPpleth) and to determine the percent difference between inspiratory and expiratory pulse pressure (DeltaPp) cutoff values for volume responsiveness in a homogenous...

Variation in amplitude of central venous pressure curve induced by respiration is a useful tool to reveal fluid responsiveness in postcardiac surgery patients
Westphal G, Silva E, Filho M, Goncalves A, Poli-de-Figueiredo L
Shock . 2006 Aug; 26(2):140-5. PMID: 16878021
We tested the hypothesis that the dynamic evaluation of central venous pressure (CVP) amplitude could be a reliable predictor of fluid responsiveness in patients under mechanical ventilation, similar to the...
