The intraaortic balloon pump has served our patients well since its first reported use in 1967. Although a superior device exists for several indications in our cardiac patients, we should understand all the nuances of the IABP. 🎩 tip to the authors.

Well it's finally here. New Global Definition of ARDS presented by Michael Matthay on behalf of a large diverse international panel.
More of a modification than a new definition. Berlin lives on but includes new patients under the ARDS umbrella

#2) data applied to sick/fragile patients, who may have a life expectancy too short to even theoretically benefit

I was tasked to give med students 15 “landmark” trials in Critical Care that we would go over each day before rounds to figure out why we do the things we do. What would you add or subtract from the list? #medtwitter#CriticalCare@chungk1031

I definitely recommend reading:
