Not statistically significant…

Meanwhile Paul Young: “Put your hand up if you would personally want a liberal strategy”
>>90% of intensivist then put their hand up… guess this is peer review 😅

Presented at CCR Down Under:

In the SAHARA trial involving patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage and anemia, liberal transfusion of red cells did not result in a lower risk of an unfavorable neurologic outcome than a more restrictive strategy. https://t.co/WVobu2djnC

Presented at #CCR24:

In a randomized trial involving patients undergoing invasive ventilation, pantoprazole decreased the risk of upper gastrointestinal bleeding as compared with placebo but did not affect mortality. Read the full REVISE trial results: https://t.co/NT4qEMyR9C

@stephen_t_webb @ben_millette I agree! A large well powered trial looking at A2 as an adjunct or alternative for agitated patients who fail sedation breaks might be closer to real life practice!

[Philippe Simard @philsim594]

@bryan_reidy Given the majority of patients in A2 group were also on propofol, was this really an A2 vs Propofol trial?

[NEJM @NEJM]

Adults undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass received either an intravenous balanced mixture of amino acids or placebo for up to 3 days. Amino acids reduced the occurrence of acute kidney injury. Full PROTECTION trial results: https://t.co/fPNrcChpm6

BLING III: In critically ill patients with sepsis, continuous vs intermittent β-lactam antibiotic infusions did not significantly reduce 90-day mortality.

Best study I’ve seen this week

Oliguria = IV 💧❓
In this interesting study, DOCTORS were more likely to be OLIGURIC than their patients. Need some IVF in the on-call rooms.

I didn’t think I would ever witness such an attack on democracy so close to home. Then again, in a country where education and healthcare are privileges and not rights and where people are so deeply divided on racial, social and political issues, maybe it’s not so surprising
