So interesting, and something you can employ in your practice immediately. In this cohort of foreign-speaking ICU pts, being paired with nurses who spoke the same language was associated w/ less delirium, agitation and a 50% reduction in the use of restraints!

✅Summary of Key ICU RCTs in the 2nd half of 2023! Specifically, this list covers 14 trials published in NEJM, JAMA, and Lancet between July and December of this year! I hope this 🧵 will help you review the best RCTs of the year😉 #FOAMcc NEJM JAMA The Lancet

Interesting r/v: what vasopressors may / not do to the brain vasculature; our understanding of what's actually happening at bedside seems basic ++ eg high dose norad (norepi) does cause cerebral vasoconstriction, so negating benefits in CPP / vasospasm ? mdpi.com/2076-3425/14/2…

We used to literally drown our #SAH patients. 100 ml/hr or more of NS for a week or two. Now we know much more about the harms of fluid overload, esp in terms of lung injury, and possibly AKI and cerebral edema as well. This paper nicely illustrated how cumulative fluid

Compared to as-needed angios, protocoled surveillance angiography on #SAH day 7 leads to hire costs more procedures, and has zero effect on the frequency of cerebral infarction, DCI or outcome. link.springer.com/article/10.100…
