A must read. #ECMO for #Covid_19

Must-read new evidence on the effect of ECMO during COVID using periods of research limitations as a natural experiment. Congratulations to Whitney Gannon and ATS Early Career Mentoring Program Chair Jon Casey for this important work: atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…

Great work by some of Vanderbilt ECMO Program's team members discussing resource availability in challenging times atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…

Fascinating (and disturbing) data about the potential efficacy of #ECMO for #COVID and what happens when centers are overwhelmed and can’t provide it ATS Blue Journal ELSO M Velia Antonini atsjournals.org/doi/abs/10.116…

Fantastic talk from Jon Casey on emergency research. How do we answer key questions in cardiac arrest? Turning random variation in practice into structured questions for knowledge generation. #ReSS22 Mike Donnino, MD AHA Science Sarah Perman MD MSCE Kelly Sawyer, MD MS Felipe Teran, MD MSCE Michelle Ng Gong

Huge congratulations to Anna Hemnes, who on Monday was awarded the Elsa Hanigan (endowed) Chair in Pulmonary Medicine. Well deserved. I was waiting for someone else to tweet this, so I could retweet, but it's been a couple of days. VUMCLung

Way to go Kevin Seitz! another fellow making us all look good in the ATS Blue Journal 🎇Individualized Treatment Effects of Bougie versus Stylet for Tracheal Intubation in Critical Illness doi.org/10.1164/rccm.2…

#CCR23: In the DEVICE trial, the use of video laryngoscopy in critically ill patients undergoing intubation in the ED or ICU resulted in a higher incidence of successful intubation on the first attempt than direct laryngoscopy. nej.md/43H2t79

Our latest trial comparing video to direct laryngoscopy is out!

Proud of our practice-defining work Pragmatic Critical Care Research Group published NEJM and Critical Care Reviews showing definitively that VL is superior to DL in emergency airway management. CU Center for COMBAT Research CU Department of Emergency Medicine nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Honoured to deliver the Editorial #CCR23 for the DEVICE trial launched today NEJM Great positive RCT demonstrating VL superiority in FPS in critically ill pts Difficult Airway Society (DAS) Project for Universal Management of Airways Tim Cook Fiona Sheila Myatra NEJM

The results from our DEVICE trial are out in the NEJM . In this RCT, direct laryngoscopy was inferior to video laryngoscopy for first-pass success. In fact, it was so inferior that we had to stop the trial early after DSMB review due to the clear benefit of VL. This is the 🔨

Miss the Pragmatic Critical Care Research Group DEVICE trial, presented by Matthew Semler & Matthew Prekker at the Critical Care Reviews Meeting #CCR23 last week? It was simultaneously published in NEJM doi.org/10.1056/NEJMoa… Here, the trialists briefly explain the results

Presented at #CCR24: In a randomized trial involving critically ill adults undergoing tracheal intubation, the incidence of hypoxemia was lower with preoxygenation with noninvasive ventilation than with an oxygen mask. Full PREOXI trial results: nej.md/45lC0xt

Excited to share practice-changing results of our PREOXI trial showing preoxygenation with non-invasive ventilation safely reduced hypoxemia by 51% during emergency tracheal intubation Pragmatic Critical Care Research Group CU Department of Emergency Medicine CU Center for COMBAT Research #CCR24 nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…
