Causes of Death in Patients Undergoing ECPR

Refractory shock was the leading cause of death among our cohort of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) patients, followed closely by neurological complications, while other causes are rare. In this post-hoc... read more

Management of Chest Trauma: A Practical Guide

75% of patients who die from trauma have injuries to the chest. The care of the chest trauma patient can be incredibly complex, require multiple specialty and sub-specialty services, and may require interventions available... read more

Levosimendan Role in ECMO for Refractory Cardiac Arrest

Levosimendan use in extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) did not improve survival. Neurological outcome could be representative of the short- and long-term outcomes. Future well-designed randomized trials... read more

Fever Management with or without a Temperature Control Device After OHCA and Resuscitation

the TEMP‐CARE trial will advance our understanding of post‐cardiac arrest care fever management strategies. With a large sample size and a broad patient population, the results of this trial will inform clinical practice... read more

Wireless Wearable Doppler Ultrasound: Monitoring Trauma Patients

This study demonstrated the feasibility of placing the wireless, wearable Doppler ultrasound on severely injured trauma patients admitted to the trauma bay of a busy level 1 trauma center. The device reliably captured... read more

Mortality in Patients with SA-AKI Using the MIMIC-III Database

In this study, we identified critical factors influencing mortality in patients with Sepsis-Induced Acute Kidney Injury (SA-AKI) using the MIMIC-III database. The primary findings of our research, including advanced age,... read more

Endovascular Resuscitation and Trauma Management

This book focuses on endovascular methods for resuscitation and trauma management. Written by highly qualified and clinically active physicians from around the world, it shares information gathered over the past decade,... read more

Management of Pediatric Septic Shock with Electrocardiometry

Advanced hemodynamic monitoring with EC, in conjunction with clinical assessment, facilitated a restrictive fluid strategy and reduced the incidence of FO. By closely monitoring hemodynamic parameters and tailoring therapy... read more

Septic Distributive Shock: Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta

Massive distributive shock can lead to total collapse of the cardiopulmonary system with a subsequent need for CPR. Partial REBOA may be a viable resuscitation adjunct in such cases to restore hemodynamics and increase coronary... read more

Trauma Team Dynamics: A Trauma Crisis Resource Management Manual

This is the first book exploring the unique dynamics created by a multidisciplinary trauma team and how crisis management strategies can improve teamwork and communication and, potentially, improve patient resuscitation... read more

Cumulative Fluid Balance During the First Three ICU Days in Septic Patients with Heart Failure

In septic patients with HFpEF, positive fluid balance of CFB-day1 might improve the prognosis of patients. However, from the second day, fluid overload was associated with poor prognosis. Therefore, we propose that on... read more

Multi-dimensional Outcomes Following ECPR

Recent trials suggested that extracorporeal cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) or "ECMELLA" (VA-ECMO plus Impella) may improve short-term survival and neurological... read more

Therapeutic Hypothermia After Cardiac Arrest

Therapeutic hypothermia has emerged as a very important treatment option for patients with cardiac arrest as it provides significant protection from developing neurologic injury once the patient has been successfully resuscitated.... read more

Impact of Time to Catheter-Based Therapy on Outcomes in Acute Pulmonary Embolism

Early catheter-based therapie (CBT) was associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE). The composite PE shock score may help identify patients who will benefit... read more

Rediscovery of Acute Lung Injury in Cardiac Arrest

Systemic multi-organ injury following resuscitation from sudden cardiac arrest (CA) has long been recognized. First termed 'post-resuscitation disease' in the 1980's this systemic injury was more appropriately re-named post-CA... read more

7-day Fluid Balance Associated with Poor Outcomes
