“…Stopping oral intake during treatment may cause malnutrition. Malnutrition, which affects mortality and morbidity rates, is seen in between 30% and 40% of intensive care patients (Bayır et al, 2015;Giner et al, 1996;Huang et al, 2000). A participant stated that he/she lost 25 kg in this study, which supports this situation.…”

Background Making arrangements by learning how intensive care patients feel due to a disease called as fatal worldwide can make it easier for patients to cope with the disease. For this reason, it is important for healthcare professionals to understand the patients who have been infected and discharged during the COVID-19 pandemic. The experiences of the patients may affect the perspective of the disease and cause different changes in the perception of it. This study, which was conducted based on this idea, aimed to examine the intensive care experiences of patients discharged from the COVID-19 intensive care unit. Method This study used a phenomenological qualitative approach. A semi-structured interview form was used to interview 23 patients discharged from the COVID-19 intensive care unit. The findings were reported on the basis of consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research. Findings: In line with the data obtained from the interviews, five main themes and eight subthemes were created. The main themes were classified as emotional expressions (positive/negative) related to intensive care experience, coping methods, care experiences (respiration, nutrition, excretion and privacy, sleep, communication) and analogies for COVID-19 and nurses. Conclusion In this study, the participants experienced negative emotions such as fear of death/anxiety, sadness, loneliness, and helplessness during their intensive care experiences. Most of them stated that they tried to cope with prayer and communication. The participants compared COVID-19with deadly and respiratory-inhibiting tools and diseases. They expressed difficulties in breathing, nutrition, excretion and privacy, sleep and communication related to the care provided. In this process, they made positive analogies for the nurses who spent the most time with them, such as angels and family members.

“…In the study in patients with sepsis in intensive care, lactate levels were statistically higher in deceased patients than in convalescent patients. [ 22 ] A decrease of at least 20% in lactate value is a vital in‐patient prognosis. [ 23 ] The results show that the serum lactate levels decreased in order fluoxetine, imipenem, and combined group compared to the positive control.…”

Since most infectious diseases can develop into sepsis, it is still a major medical problem. Some in‐vivo studies showed promising properties of fluoxetine in the treatment of infections. This study aims the antimicrobial effect of fluoxetine on the inflammatory process used in the treatment of sepsis‐modeled rats. Besides, to investigate the efficacy of fluoxetine on modifying the antibiotic effect of imipenem in the inflammatory response. An experimental sepsis model was divided into negative control, positive control, fluoxetine 5 mg/kg, imipenem 60 mg/kg, and combined (fluoxetine; imipenem). Procalcitonin (PCT), high‐sensitivity C‐reactive protein (hs‐CRP), lactate, myeloperoxidase activity (MPO), the inflammation markers interleukin‐1β (IL‐1β), interleukin‐6 (IL‐6), tumor necrosis factor‐alfa (TNF‐α), and monocyte chemoattractant protein‐1 (MCP‐1) levels were measured by enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay method. Oxidative stress markers, total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS), total thiol (TT), and native thiol (NT) were measured using photometric methods. Oxidative stress index (OSI) was calculated according to TAS and TOS levels. The statistical analysis was performed by Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22.0. After treatment with fluoxetine, imipenem, and combined groups, IL‐1β, IL‐6, TNF‐α, MPO activity, MCP‐1, hs‐CRP, PCT, lactate, and the oxidative stress markers OSI, and disulfide levels were decreased (p < 0.05). The TT, NT, and TAS levels significantly statistically increased (p < 0.05). This research demonstrates that fluoxetine has effects as anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant, and the combined treatment with antibioticum imipenem indicates positive synergistic effects in the experimental sepsis model.

“…Malnutrition develops due to decreased dietary intake, increased nutritional requirements or impaired ability to use or absorb nutrients (30,33). When the literature is examined, it was seen that the rate of malnutrition increased with age, (6,21,23,25) and nutritional deficiency in the elderly in the community was found to be around 60% (31).…”
