Editorial: "Monti and colleagues are to be commended for their well-designed and well-executed contribution to the controversial literature assessing dosing of β-lactam antibiotics in critically ill patients."

It is my honor to work with the excellent team of this fantastic randomized clinical trial.
Every piece I learned during the manuscript writing process is invaluable.
I appreciate all the people involved in this study.

Primary outcome: a composite of mortality or new emergence of PDR/XDR bacteria at day 28
No significant difference in the primary outcome, each component of the primary outcome

#CCR23
A previous meta-analysis of RCTs showed a decreased mortality when beta-lactams are administered continuously, but there are several risks of bias.
So, we designed and performed #MERCYtrial, a multicenter randomized clinical trial.
#CCR23
Time above MIC is an important determinant for beta-lactams, including meropenem.
So, continuous infusion of meropenem is likely to exert efficacy compared with intermittent administration.

UK-REBOA results:
REBOA increased mortality at 90 days and at all interim time points.
REBOA increased deaths due to bleeding at 3 hours and 90 days.
REBOA substantially delayed time to definitive haemorrhage control.

Late breaking at #CCR23: In the PATCH-Trauma trial involving adults with major trauma, treatment with tranexamic acid did not result in a greater number of patients surviving with a favorable functional outcome at 6 months than placebo. https://t.co/i8fu34ReCB
