This trial randomly assigned patients with coma after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to undergo targeted hypothermia at 33°C or normothermia with treatment of fever. At 6 months, there were no significant between-group differences regarding death or functional outcomes.

The interleukin-6 receptor blockers tocilizumab and sarilumab were tested against standard care in a randomized trial involving patients newly admitted to the intensive care unit and requiring respiratory or blood-pressure support. #COVID19 #IDTwitter

Even though supplemental oxygen is used for the treatment of patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure, the most effective oxygenation targets are not known. In this randomized trial, a lower oxygenation target did not result in lower mortality than a higher target.

It’s that time of the year again !! We welcome everyone to join the IP course from April 1-4, 2020. It would be a unique opportunity to learn a broad skill set and learn from the best in diagnosis and treatment of complex airway and pleural disease!!

Now on #LiveStream: Researchers present findings from the VITAMINS trial, which compared the effects of #VitaminC + thiamine added to hydrocortisone on mortality in septic shock. What did they find??:

Results of the PEPTIC trial do not preclude the possibility of a small increase in hospital mortality with PPIs vs H2RBs despite showing a small reduction in clinically important GI bleeding https://t.co/R3pY8kqwNn #CCR20 #VisualAbstract

Productive year. The group continues to grow and continues to answer important clinical questions.

Congrats to Dr.Carla Lamb & the Interventional Pulmonary Team @LaheyHospital for launching their Zephyr Valve program. Zephyr Endobronchial Valves is a less-invasive treatment option for COPD & emphysema. For more information on the Zephyr Valves visit https://t.co/VWXboqLen3
