Abstract:
Vertigo, tinnitus and hearing loss are the most common audiovestibular symptoms detected in the emergency departments and outpatients settings. However, little is known about these on patients at the intensive care unit. Although these symptoms may be common in this scenario, few studies have documented their onset, triggers and other factors associated to their presentation. The evaluation of these symptoms is a challenge for intensive care unit physicians, neurologists and otolaryngologists due to several factors as consciousness, systemic comorbidities, prolonged immobility and antibiotic therapy. The frequency of audiovestibular symptoms at the intensive care unit and the related events and factors associated to their presentation will be explored in this review.

Acute Respiratory Failure-I
Definition: It is defined by specific criteria based on blood gas measurements. Hypoxemia happens when the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) falls below 60 mmHg. At the same time,...
