LOVED this recent article on RV STRAIN. I put evidence cited into a table for my ref & thought I would share. Keep in mind heterogenous data in terms of operator, cut offs, chronicity, vitals. Def read this article for yourself #POCUS#EBS

Early dexmedetomidine as primary sedative in (3904) critically ill pts needing MV:
💉>65y or operative diagnosis = high probability of ⬇️ mortality
💉younger pts non-operative diagnosis = high probability of ⬆️ mortality

Kennt eigentlich wer ein Paper, dass das gleiche bei Interventionen (z.B. Koronarangio) untersucht hat? Da werden meist deutlich höhere Dosen verwendet. Wäre doch interessant...
"The view against the use of nitrates during RVMI can be traced back to a single 1989 cohort study of 28 patients."
This new narrative review published in our Journal reviews right ventricular myocardial infarction (RVMI) & adverse events from nitrates.

@expensivecare@ButterflyNetInc for those saying “surely this slows you down?” - ETCO2 is sequential to intubation. US guided CVC access is simultaneous - so maybe considering process is important. @ButterflyNetInc - how about curvy probe you can use for both cricoid pressure/BURP + confirmation realtime?
@EMManchester@EBMgoneWILD@cliffreid@julesantosER@umanamd@EMcardiac@HumanFact0rz Interruptions are an inevitable part of the EM environment but we need to limit the number and the impact of them as much as possible.

Do you care for older adults in the ICU?
Are you interested in improving geriatric critical care delivery through research, education, and quality improvement?
