Thank you to Past SCCM President Vinay Nadkarni, MD, MS, for representing us at the WHO Acute Care Action Network (ACAN) meeting in Geneva! SCCM works with ACAN to reduce sepsis-related mortality and improve early sepsis identification.

Presented at #ATS2026:

Among patients with traumatic hemorrhage, prehospital transfusion of whole blood did not result in lower 30-day mortality than transfusion of plasma or red cells. Outcomes did not differ according to the storage age of blood. Full phase 3 TOWAR trial results: https://t.co/zteMlrgNzr

🧵 Among survivors of #CriticalIllness requiring mechanical ventilation, remote rehabilitation yielded improvements in physical function, fatigue, and anxiety, though health-related quality of life benefits were not detected at 8 weeks.

@atscommunity 📊 Research Summary: Remote, individualized rehabilitation did not significantly improve quality of life at 8 weeks for ICU survivors but enhanced physical function, fatigue, and anxiety in selected patients. #CriticalIllness

[JAMA @JAMA_current]

💬 Editorial: Remote rehabilitation for ICU survivors improved quality of life & physical function for highly adherent participants, but many declined participation. Integration of flexible, accessible recovery options is needed for #CriticalIllness.

📊 Research Summary: For adults with acute #ischemicstroke presenting 4.5 to 24 hours after symptom onset, the addition of intravenous #tenecteplase before EVT did not improve 90-day clinical outcomes and showed no significant difference in safety compared with EVT alone.

Along with my colleague @alhashemi_e, we’re excited to launch The Inspire Circle — Kuwait’s 1st Narrative Medicine Club.
A space to reflect, share, and reconnect with the human side of medicine.

We can’t wait to discover what lives Between the Lines.✨

US nonprofit hospitals spent $7.8 billion on management consultants from 2009 to 2023, but contracts were not associated with meaningful changes in finance, operations, or quality of care. 🧵

Restrictive maintenance fluids in ventilated kids
RCT (PICU, India): 40–50% vs 70–80% maintenance
↓ Fluid overload >10% (22% vs 47%)
→ ↓ cumulative FO (day 1–5)
→ No difference in VFDs, PICU-free days, or mortality
Takeaway: Less fluid, less overload
