Restrictive or Liberal Transfusion Strategy in Myocardial Infarction and Anemia (MINT Trial)
Background: Concurrent anemia worsens outcomes in patients that present with acute myocardial infarctions. Transfusions increase the oxygen carrying capacity of blood which can improve the perfusion of at-risk cardiac tissue. However, transfusions are also associated with immunosuppression, thrombotic phenomena, volume ...
Another Study on Peripheral Vasopressors
Background: Use of vasopressors is a common practice to support hemodynamics and optimization of tissue perfusion in patients presenting with shock. Historically the administration of vasopressors was restricted to central venous catheters (CVC) due to concerns for local tissue injury ...
The NICO Trial: NIV in Comatose Patients with Acute Poisoning
Background: Patients with decreased level of consciousness due to alcohol, drugs, or medications commonly present to the ED. These patients can be at risk of vomiting and aspiration and often prompts clinicians to pursue definitive airway management to avoid pneumonia ...
Non-Invasive Blood Pressure Monitoring in Critically Ill Adults?
Background: Patients with shock frequently present with hypotension. Many of these patients are started on vasopressor and inopressor medications to assist in efforts to normalize blood pressure to help improve organ perfusion. In shocky patients, arterial lines are often used ...
