Mashup Score: 11Ketamine Versus Etomidate for Rapid Sequence Intubation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials - PubMed - 7 month(s) ago
Compared with etomidate, ketamine probably results in more hemodynamic instability during the peri-intubation period and appears to have no effect on successful intubation on the first attempt or mortality. However, ketamine results in decreased need for the initiation of vasopressor use and decreas …

Mashup Score: 8
Background The inadequacy of intensive care medicine in low-resource settings (LRS) has become significantly more visible after the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommendations for establishing medical critical care are scarce and rarely include expert clinicians from LRS. Methods In December 2023, the National Association of Intensivists from Bosnia and Herzegovina organized a hybrid international conference on the topic of organizational structure of medical critical care in LRS. The conference proceedings and literature review informed expert statements across several domains. Following the conference, the statements were distributed via an online survey to conference participants and their wider professional network using a modified Delphi methodology. An agreement of ≥ 80% was required to reach a consensus on a statement. Results Out of the 48 invited clinicians, 43 agreed to participate. The study participants came from 20 countries and included clinician representatives from different bas

Mashup Score: 1Heterogeneity in the Effect of Early Goal-Directed Therapy... : Critical Care Medicine - 9 month(s) ago
to conflicting average treatment effects in prior RCTs. Design: We randomly split study sites from the Australian Resuscitation of Sepsis Evaluation (ARISE) and Protocolized Care for Early Septic Shock (ProCESS) trials into derivation and validation cohorts. We trained machine learning models to predict individual absolute risk differences (iARDs) in 90-day mortality in derivation cohorts and tested for heterogeneity of treatment effect (HTE) in validation cohorts and swapped these cohorts in sensitivity analyses. We fit the best-performing model in a combined dataset to explore roles of patient characteristics and individual components of early goal-directed therapy (EGDT) to determine treatment responses. Setting: Eighty-one sites in Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Finland, Republic of Ireland, and the United States. Patients: Adult patients presenting to the emergency department with severe sepsis or septic shock. Interventions: EGDT vs. usual care. Measurements and Main Results:

Mashup Score: 2Leveraging social media for resident training in developing countries: A case study of Libya - 11 month(s) ago
Social media platforms have emerged as invaluable tools for remote training in resource-constrained countries. This study presents the development, implementation, and preliminary assessment of a remote intensive care unit (ICU) training program conducted in Libya utilizing social media platforms. This educational initiative was based on the Checklist for Early Recognition and Treatment of Acute Illness and iNjury (CERTAIN) program, targeting Libyan resident physicians. The initiative comprised a series of live-streamed pulmonary/critical care lectures and asynchronous discussion of clinical cases via a private messaging chat. Participant engagement, satisfaction, and learning outcomes were evaluated using social media analytics and surveys. A total of 323 learners joined the Libyan ICU training program chat group, and two tele-education sessions were broadcast, accumulating a total of 749 views. The majority (72.6%) of learners had graduated from medical school within the past five ye
