Very thoughtful thread from SNACC President on SNACC: a global community of perioperative #neuroscience experts working collaboratively to advance the field. As Andrew Kofke says "If your heart is in the brain and you practice anesthesiology or neuroscience, you belong to SNACC"

In the October 2022 cover study, researchers compared ventilation using different tidal volumes and PEEP levels in adults undergoing major orthopedic surgery. They found oxygenation, respiratory complications, and hospitalization duration were similar. ow.ly/1iwB50KQNKR

🧵 Cardiogenic shock (CS) following MI increases mortality substantially. We often use inotropes, vasopressors, and mechanical circulatory support (MCS) for supportive care, but do they improve mortality? Our new NMA in CJA - Canadian Journal of Anesthesia looked at this. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
