We look forward to launching this clinical trial next month uchealth to learn whether etomidate or ketamine prior to emergency intubation is better for patient outcomes. Over 2000 patients will be enrolled at 6 US centers.

Having reviewed a few of these (and without giving too much away), I can say there are practice-changing results here. Worldwide practice in critical care will be changed by what is presented at #CCR24

Congratulations to Dr. Meredith McCormack on her well-deserved promotion to Professor of Medicine. Her clinical and research efforts have helped further define environmental drivers of obstructive lung disease morbidity and she has helped develop guidelines for PFT interpretation

Two years ago today ALOR, I still dig it a great deal.

I'm excited to be part of the discussion for this trial! Physical function is so important for patient quality of life.

The Blue Journal thanks Jessica A. Palakshappa, MD, MS, for her contribution to the June 1 issue Tackling Brain and Muscle Dysfunction in Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Survivors: NHLBI Workshop Report atsjournals.org/doi/full/10.11…

Let's go!!!!

@FreundYonathan Yip - this will be fascinating #CCR24

Getting ready to take the stage at #CCR24. Join us on the live stream at 11:05 AM ET criticalcarereviews.com #ICURehab ( posted by a friend for Michelle who is busy preparing)

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

This is such an important study that I recorded a whole podcast episode about it Critical Care Time with my friend/cohost Cyrus Askin, MD, FACP & lead author Kevin Gibbs. I hope you’ll take a listen! It’s a great episode & we go further into the details. criticalcaretime.com/episodes/preox… 11/

Special BREAKING NEWS episode of Critical Care Time discussing a practice changing RCT of NIPPV prior to intubation, just published NEJM & presented this morning at #CCR24 Critical Care Reviews. We sat down with the 1st author & have the inside scoop on the #PREOXITrial! 1/

🤝 CU Center for COMBAT Research was proud to partner with Adit Ginde and University of Colorado to obtain funding for this breakthrough study from the Defense Health Agency, through our partners at the U.S. Air Force 59th Medical Wing Science and Technology Office. 👏

BONUS Episode! We had the pleasure of speaking with Kevin Gibbs about the #PREOXI trial just presented at #CCR24 and now available on NEJM! PREOXI: nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… Listen anywhere you get podcasts: pod.link/1667336877 Critical Care Reviews

EMCrit 377 - Breaking News - The PREOXI Trial changes everything for Preoxygenation in Intubations in the Critically Ill! I interview the lead authors and give my RECs. [#FOAMed] I've been advocating for this for years and now we have a beautiful trial... emcrit.org/377

Jon Casey & Kevin Gibbs summarise the #PREOXItrial, which they presented this morning at #CCR24 and was simultaneously published in NEJM nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NE… Pragmatic Critical Care Research Group

Here's what I am going to do after the #PREOXItrial results: 1. Put the patient on BIPAP with 100% (using the same ventilator I will use after intubation). 2. Make the apnoea ventilation time short so mandatory ventilation kicks in when patient stops breathing after induction.

Let’s face it, the only way the Critical Care Reviews meeting can improve is by (1) happening more often, and (2) having even more Aussies and Kiwis in attendance 🤪 #ccr24
