Preliminary program now online… looking forward for this exciting meeting acutecardiaccare-gtgl.com/program/

The CCS Position Statement for “Neuroprognostication in the Post Cardiac Arrest Patient” has been published 👉 onlinecjc.ca/article/S0828-… A practical guide of recommendations using the GRADE system to enhance in-hospital care of the post-cardiac arrest patient follows: 1/10

New guidelines for the management of severe community-acquired pneumonia:

This, in my opinion, is still one of THE most important concepts to understand. It can make a world of difference.

The 13th International Conference on Acute Cardiac Care will be held in Tel Aviv on 10-11 July, 2023. The program is delivered by the best senior cardiologists in the world and in Israel. lnkd.in/dQCiG8Qf #CardioTwitter

everyone with acute, severe hypoxemia & bilateral lung infiltrates now has ARDS 🙄 we’re converting a trashcan diagnosis into a gigantic dumpster bin. studies on this increasingly heterogenious group of patients will struggle to find any useful therapies.

Critical Care Reviews slow correction of hypernatremia in older adults is not evidence-based. the authors discuss this in the text of the article, but unfortunately not in their algorithm. for patients >>40 years old, target 6-11/day is too conservative IMHO. emcrit.org/ibcc/hypernatr…

Narrative review on fluids in sepsis From resuscitation to evacuation From EGDT to #CLOVERStrial From fluid responsiveness to fluid intolerance All the essence is compacted in this paper! Fluid therapy in sepsis is really interesting😊 🔗jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/… #FOAMcc

#TAMEtrial just published! 🩸 Does mild hypercapnia (50-55 mmHg) vs normocapnia (35-45 mmHg) improve outcomes in OHCAs admitted to the ICU? 🧠 Good neuro outcome at 6 mo: 43.5% (hypercapnia) vs 44.6% (normocapnia) 🔗 NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… #CCR23 #ResusTwitter #FOAMcc

remember: PaCO2 > etCO2 targeting etCO2 30-35 will generally put the paCO2 into the 35-50 range (safe) so, the safety of hypercapnia supports the safety of etCO2 monitoring don't phlebotomize patients to fine-tune something that doesn't matter (2/2) emcrit.org/ibcc/co2/

#0/7 Thanks Dr. Purvi Parwani for robust discussion on diastology which means "Dilation". I was asked to present my approach to Diastolic Function assessment at American Society of Echocardiography " Just Relax: Diastolic Dysfunction" session. Let me share again and explain the 7 points that I emphasized.

Today we honor Cleveland Clinic heart surgeon René Favaloro on what would have been his 100th birthday. Dr. Favaloro introduced coronary artery bypass surgery into clinical practice. It's a procedure that has saved countless lives since.

1/3 Most of our time in the Harefield ICU is spent finding the optimum balance in our patients’ blood pressure and flow to facilitate perfusion and improve organ function. We manipulate physiology mainly through use of fluids, inotropes, vasopressors, or MCS.
