Ping @IofPHC#ResusScienceSymp. This is where ECMO/ECLS started - evolution from operating theatre cardiopulmonary bypass - it’s often the simple ideas driven by those willing to ‘stand on the shoulder of giants’
@JenelleBadulak @IcusHarborview @NickJohnsonMD@UWashEM The therapeutic hypothermia and ecmo conference I was invited to speak at I March in Miami featured an incredible wealth of knowledge about this. I learned so much and am starting to believe that we really should be targeting 33, maybe lower, and FAST.
Is post arrest 33 better than 36 degrees? Looks like neuro-intact survival went down after switching from 33 to 36 @IcusHarborview. 36 degrees associated with increased fevers and delays in TTM initiation (not started in the ED). @NickJohnsonMD@UWashEM
Noninvasive neuro-monitoring on #ECMO support: effective in detecting cerebral complication & prognosticating neurologic outcome? read the results of this prospective observational study @asaiojournal https://t.co/09BfJ3kuB1
Challenging case presented in this report highlighting diagnostic dilemmas of cardiac tamponade on VA #ECMO & potential effects of drainage pressure https://t.co/i4xhK5g80I + open access considerations on echocardiography & ECLS in the related editorial https://t.co/bi5gmIUcu1
JAMA DEXACET https://t.co/95BffBplJe reports reduced delirium, reduced morphine requirement, and shorter ICU LOS with acetaminophen vs placebo. 2x2 with propofol vs dexmedetomidine as sedative arms, no effect. Single centre, interesting, needs testing https://t.co/zgUx1n5q0g
