Check out the amazing CCR Down Under Programme created by ⁦@CritCareReviews⁩ - Melbourne is the place to be Dec 10th & 11th 2024 - you can still get tickets, but be quick! 😎

Nice summary by @celiabradford here:

Neurosurgeon Peter Kirkpatrick flies his Hurricane over Kings College Welcome reception #INTS2024. Nice twist on a conference opener.

@celiabradford @stephanamayer

Alexis Turgeon presenting the HEMOTION trial at #INTS2024. No significant difference in GOSE at 6 months between those with liberal or restrictive transfusion following mod or sev TBI. Trend for benefit in lib group. Will Bayesian Analysis nudge practice towards Hb target 10?

⁦@JamieMocrazy⁩ tells a story at #INTS2024 that really matters - an inspiring and moving story of her recovery from severe TBI. https://t.co/zpGBF7kYlL ⁦@Mypster2⁩

Don't worry if you can't find a cerebral aneurysm on angiography in perimesencephalic SAHs. No vascular cause is identified in up to 95% of cases. They are (presumable) venous hemorrhages. This also means 5% will have an aneurysm, AVM, fistula... #MedEd #RadEd #FOAMed #FOAMrad

Don't miss out on #SAS2024 - the @SafeAirway Society Annual Education Event 2024. RNSH - 26|10|24 A stellar line up of talks and panel discussions that won't shy away from controversy, followed by our critically acclaimed airway workshops! Register now: https://t.co/AUNIPYbhWK

Compared to as-needed angios, protocoled surveillance angiography on #SAH day 7 leads to hire costs more procedures, and has zero effect on the frequency of cerebral infarction, DCI or outcome. https://t.co/zrYvmta9I7

We used to literally drown our #SAH patients. 100 ml/hr or more of NS for a week or two. Now we know much more about the harms of fluid overload, esp in terms of lung injury, and possibly AKI and cerebral edema as well. This paper nicely illustrated how cumulative fluid

please note: cefepime has a higher risk of CDiff than piptazo 😛

Today, @NEJM published our clinical study of a novel #CARTCell in patients with #Glioblastoma. Early results with CARv3-TEAM-E suggest safety and bioactivity. Special thanks to all collaborators @MGHNeurosurg and @MGHCancerCenter! https://t.co/ZaDjvVAms7

Interesting r/v: what vasopressors may / not do to the brain vasculature; our understanding of what's actually happening at bedside seems basic ++ eg high dose norad (norepi) does cause cerebral vasoconstriction, so negating benefits in CPP / vasospasm ? https://t.co/c0opjNQQda

Interesting podcast from @stephanamayer, Jon Rosenberg and Lori Shutter on one approach to TBI management. How does it compare to your practice? https://t.co/gFIbJTTDPH

✅Summary of Key ICU RCTs in the 2nd half of 2023! Specifically, this list covers 14 trials published in NEJM, JAMA, and Lancet between July and December of this year! I hope this 🧵 will help you review the best RCTs of the year😉 #FOAMcc @NEJM @JAMA_current @TheLancet

So interesting, and something you can employ in your practice immediately. In this cohort of foreign-speaking ICU pts, being paired with nurses who spoke the same language was associated w/ less delirium, agitation and a 50% reduction in the use of restraints!
