Happy to change my tune, as high quality data show #REBOA has higher mortality. https://t.co/uj7Q0UVMrZ
Back to the drawing board with this one. Is there really an indication? And if yes, what? @traumadoctors @EAST_TRAUMA

[George Kasotakis MD MPH FACS FCCM @gkasot]

Not saying that I agree, but also no one has ever seen REBOA and meaningful data demonstrating a clinical benefit in the same paper.

New research has concluded that rib injuries after blunt trauma are associated with increased long-term opioid usage.

An example work product from this service by @CMageePharmD @MeganARech @mrkwameboateng @gkasot @ansakhuja @NurseErikaFCCM found ICU practitioners are comfortable using ketamine, but there are many inconsistencies in practice. #PharmICU

Hoping that quality research will move the needle towards more NSAID, less opioid use. Starting with Ortho trauma!
