Favorable changes in physiologic and biochemical variables and norepinephrine dependency were observed after IHD in patients with septic shock complicated by metabolic acidosis during resuscitation. Further studies are needed... read more

This pocket book succinctly describes 318 errors commonly made by attendings, residents, interns, nurses, and nurse-anesthetists in the intensive care unit, and gives practical, easy-to-remember tips for avoiding these errors.... read more

I left medical school with a poor understanding of ECGs. I could determine the rate, rhythm, and axis, and maybe a “tombstone” STEMI, but that was about it. During the first week of residency at NYU/Bellevue,... read more

With over 200 traces to test your knowledge, this book is a first class learning tool for emergency physicians. Basic student-level knowledge of ECGs is assumed, so the reader can move directly to learning about the more... read more

Admission to a single room with potential exposure to natural light via windows was not associated with reduced delirium burden, as compared to admission to a single room without windows. However, natural light exposure was... read more

In this cohort study of patients with acute brain trauma, spreading depolarizations were predominant but heterogeneous and independently associated with poor neurologic recovery. Monitoring the occurrence of spreading depolarizations... read more

The goal of this book is to provide the most up to date information on mechanical ventilation based on current research, evidence based practice and my experiences as a flight paramedic and educator. A comprehensive look... read more

Often, the available evidence is not sufficient to generate guidelines addressing the most critical questions faced by clinicians and patients. Although there have been some major developments in severe traumatic brain injury... read more

Supplemental exogenous agmatine could ameliorate the lipopolysaccharide-induced systemic inflammatory responses and multiple organ injuries through the 2 receptor”>imidazoline I2 receptor-ribosomal S6 kinase 2-nuclear... read more

Two simple and available upon admission clinical predictors of group A streptococcus (GAS) documentation identified among a large cohort of surgically proven necrotizing soft tissue infections (NSTIs). The results show that... read more

This book introduces the latest advances relating to the pathophysiology, biophysics, monitoring and treatment of traumatic brain injury, hydrocephalus, and stroke presented at the 16th International Conference on Intracranial... read more

This binational study demonstrates that a rapidly available sepsis mortality prediction model can define thresholds for survival benefit in children with septic shock considered for ECMO. Survival on ECMO was associated with... read more

Sometimes our body’s reaction to infection can result in damage to internal tissues and organs. Such a condition is referred to as sepsis. Some of the symptoms of sepsis are high fever, increased heart and breathing... read more

Emergency physicians should be familiar with the benefits and pitfalls of high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC). HFNC is well tolerated by patients, and its use contributes to superior outcomes for patients with pure hypoxemic respiratory... read more

One in 20 perioperative medication administrations included a medication error (ME) and/or adverse drug event (ADE). More than one third of the MEs led to observed ADEs, and the remaining two thirds had the potential for... read more

Variable practices regarding extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) line management exist worldwide based on recommendations lacking specific ECMO content and context. This survey identified evidence gaps regarding several... read more

Mandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) is an effective treatment for tongue-based airway obstruction in infants with severe Pierre Robin sequence (PRS). Most infants receiving MDO require postoperative mechanical ventilation... read more

This nICP estimation algorithm, based on arterial blood pressure (ABP) and bedside transcranial Doppler (TCD) cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV) waveform measurements, performs in a manner comparable to invasive intracranial... read more
