Performance of the quick SOFA in very old ICU patients admitted with sepsis.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Many studies demonstrate an association between brain damage and the extracellular release of catecholamines and amino acids during cerebral ischemia. While the clinical value of hypothermia during periods of compromised cerebral blood flow and oxygen delivery is well established, the role of anesthetic agen...
