Effect of statins on neurological functional outcomes in critically ill adult patients with traumatic brain injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Veillette C, Umana M, Gagnon M, Costerousse O, Zarychanski R, McAuley D, et al.

BMJ Open . 2025 Feb; 15(2):e091971. PMID: 39971597

Background: Statins are considered a promising therapy in traumatic brain injury (TBI) because of their role in mediating inflammatory injury and other endothelial properties. Whether they can improve patient outcomes...

Lung ultrasound as a screening tool for SARS-CoV-2 infection in surgical patients

Garcia A, Angel-Isaza A, Chica J, Estrada D, Vargas-Morales C, Revelo-Noguera J, et al.

J Clin Ultrasound . 2022 Oct; 50(9):1271-1278. PMID: 36200639

Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic performance of lung ultrasound (LUS) in screening for SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients requiring surgery. Methods: Patients underwent a LUS protocol that included a scoring system...

Effect of High-Flow Oxygen Therapy vs Conventional Oxygen Therapy on Invasive Mechanical Ventilation and Clinical Recovery in Patients With Severe COVID-19: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Ospina-Tascon G, Calderon-Tapia L, Garcia A, Zarama V, Gomez-Alvarez F, Alvarez-Saa T, et al.

JAMA . 2021 Dec; 326(21):2161-2171. PMID: 34874419

Importance: The effect of high-flow oxygen therapy vs conventional oxygen therapy has not been established in the setting of severe COVID-19. Objective: To determine the effect of high-flow oxygen therapy...

Rapid Intubation Sequence: 4-Year Experience in an Emergency Department

Munoz A, Estrada M, Quintero J, Umana M

Open Access Emerg Med . 2021 Oct; 13:449-455. PMID: 34703330

Background: The rapid intubation sequence is advanced airway management that effectively ensures an adequate supply of oxygen in critically ill patients. The medical personnel in the emergency department performed this...

Impact of red blood cell transfusion on oxygen transport and metabolism in patients with sepsis and septic shock: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Arango-Granados M, Umana M, Sanchez A, Garcia A, Granados M, Ospina-Tascon G

Rev Bras Ter Intensiva . 2021 Apr; 33(1):154-166. PMID: 33886865

Red blood cell transfusion is thought to improve cell respiration during septic shock. Nevertheless, its acute impact on oxygen transport and metabolism in this condition remains highly debatable. The objective...

Recommendations of the Colombian Consensus Committee for the Management of Traumatic Brain Injury in Prehospital, Emergency Department, Surgery, and Intensive Care (Beyond One Option for Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury: A Stratified Protocol...

Rubiano A, Vera D, Montenegro J, Carney N, Clavijo A, Carreno J, et al.

J Neurosci Rural Pract . 2020 Mar; 11(1):7-22. PMID: 32140001

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a global public health problem. In Colombia, it is estimated that 70% of deaths from violence and 90% of deaths from road traffic accidents are...

Can venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide differences reflect microcirculatory alterations in patients with septic shock?

Ospina-Tascon G, Umana M, Bermudez W, Bautista-Rincon D, Valencia J, Madrinan H, et al.

Intensive Care Med . 2015 Nov; 42(2):211-21. PMID: 26578172

Purpose: Septic shock has been associated with microvascular alterations and these in turn with the development of organ dysfunction. Despite advances in video microscopic techniques, evaluation of microcirculation at the...

Variations in the anatomical relationship between the common carotid artery and the internal jugular vein: an ultrasonographic study

Umana M, Garcia A, Bustamante L, Castillo J, Sebastian Martinez J

Colomb Med (Cali) . 2015 Aug; 46(2):54-9. PMID: 26309339

Introduction: The internal jugular vein locates anterior or anterolateral to the common carotid artery in two-thirds of the subjects studied by ultrasound when the head is in a rotated position....

Combination of arterial lactate levels and venous-arterial CO2 to arterial-venous O 2 content difference ratio as markers of resuscitation in patients with septic shock

Ospina-Tascon G, Umana M, Bermudez W, Bautista-Rincon D, Hernandez G, Bruhn A, et al.

Intensive Care Med . 2015 Mar; 41(5):796-805. PMID: 25792204

Purpose: To evaluate the prognostic value of the Cv-aCO2/Da-vO2 ratio combined with lactate levels during the early phases of resuscitation in septic shock. Methods: Prospective observational study in a 60-bed...

Persistently high venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide differences during early resuscitation are associated with poor outcomes in septic shock

Ospina-Tascon G, Bautista-Rincon D, Umana M, Tafur J, Gutierrez A, Garcia A, et al.

Crit Care . 2013 Dec; 17(6):R294. PMID: 24330804

Introduction: Venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide difference (Pv-aCO2) may reflect the adequacy of blood flow during shock states. We sought to test whether the development of Pv-aCO2 during the very early phases...
