Abstract

In the general ICU of BSMMU, Dhaka. 157 critically ill patients were studied for association between mortality and interventions/therapies. Among the patients 123 received mechanical ventilation (major interventions) and 100 of them expired which is very highly significant (P< 0.001). Among the patients who got minor interventions (urinary catheterization, nasogastric tube insertion, central venous line, tracheostomy)-none was significant. The patients who received therapies (fresh frozen plasma, whole blood, ionotropes/vassopressor drugs, platelet rich plasma)-no parameter was significant except the patients who got ionotropes /vassopressor therapy ( P<0.05). From our study it is apparent that mortality is more associated with major interventions like mechanical ventilation and mortality associated with minor interventions are non-significant. Mortality associated with ionotropes /vassopressor therapy was significant.
