PulmCrit hot take: VAP prophylaxis (PROPHY-VAP trial)
background: ANTHARTIC trial Prophylaxis against VAP (ventilator-associated pneumonia) is already supported by a few studies in the literature, perhaps most notably the ANTHARTIC trial. That was a multicenter RCT evaluating 48 hours of therapy with amoxicillin/clavulanate for patients intubated following cardiac arrest. Antibiotic therapy reduced early-onset VAP, with a trend towards more ventilator-free days (further […]
EMCrit 66 – …Until they are warm and dead: Severe Accidental Hypothermia
It is winter and that means cardiac arrests coming in with extremely low body temperatures after environmental exposure. How do you treat these patients? How do you rewarm if you don’t have bypass?
Local Anesthetic Systemic Toxicity (LAST)
CONTENTS Epidemiology Presentation Differential diagnosis Treatment Podcast Questions & discussion Pitfalls patient-dependent risk factors Hepatic dysfunction: Most anesthetics are hepatically cleared. Clearance rate is most relevant if the agent is slowly absorbed, administered in multiple doses, or provided as a continuous infusion. Cardiac dysfunction: Reduced cardiac reserve function may render LAST more dangerous (e.g., patients […]
PulmCrit- The Rothman Index: Artificial intelligence or merely a symptom of a broken healthcare system?
We are constantly hunting for newer and better sources of information. This leads to a perpetual generation of newer lab tests, different hemodynamic gizmos, and fresh decision tools. Some of these pan out. Most don’t. Why are these new sources of information generally disappointing? The answer is simple: we’re already doing pretty well. In order […]
Neurological Prognostication from the TTM Trial
Neuroprognostication from the TTM Trial Excerpted from Life in the Fast Lane CCC The TTM trial (Nielsen et al, 2013) used a standardized protocol for neurological prognostication to guide decisions regarding treatment withdrawal following targeted temperature management post-cardiac arrest: All patients in the trial were actively treated until a minimum 72 hours after the intervention […]

Approach to shock
CONTENTS Introduction Diagnosis Causes of shock Evaluating the cause of shock Stabilization Refractory shock management ➡️ Podcast Questions & discussion Pitfalls Shock is a state of systemic hypoperfusion, with inadequate blood supply to the tissues. Unfortunately, this may occur in different ways. The most simple physiology of shock is cardiogenic shock, with low cardiac output […]
