Predicting good neuro outcome in comatose cardiac arrest survivors? Look at 🧠 GCS motor 4/5 🧠 normal NSE 🧠 SSEP N20 wave amplitude > 4 μV or continuous EEG background without discharges 🧠 no diffusion restriction in cortex or deep grey matter on MRI SR bit.ly/3sJhZzw

Neurofilament light w highest predictive value for unfav neuro outcome post arrest... >10,000 pts jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

Very nice/practical review + video on Prone Positioning in NEJM Key points - training/teamwork - planning (also worst-case scenarios such as CPR or re-intubation) - complications (nerve compression, device dislodgement, pressure injuries, ...) bit.ly/3r7Hs4u #FOAMcc

#ECMO in #COVID19: ⬆️ mortality as #pandemic progressed, reasons multifactorial, but main role for #ECLS in selected pts. Weigh benefits vs harms + resource availability, individual’s disease course, local resources/experience/outcomes #FOAMcc Critical Care 📎bit.ly/3lBFPsu

Impella vs. IABP in JAMA Internal Medicine - Propensity-matched analysis - 817 patients with AMI-CS undergoing PCI - Impella associated with higher 30d/1yr mortality, more bleeding and RRT and higher costs ja.ma/3oa4pSv #Impella #IABP
