In recent years, there has been intense focus on delivering high-quality compressions during the resuscitation of patients with OHCA. In contrast, ventilation metrics in OHCA resuscitation have not been well studied. In this podcast, we discuss a recent publication from Circulation that evaluated ventilation waveforms during OHCA resuscitation and the association of these metrics on patient outcomes. Can we do better?
With increasing water temperatures, there is a rise in the incidence of V.vulnificus infections in non-endemic regions. Patients with V.vulnificus infection are often critically...
Care of the patient with ROSC following OHCA can be complex and typically includes a protocolized approach to optimizing oxygenation, ventilation, hemodynamics, early cardiac...
Patients with severe aortic stenosis who present with acute decompensated heart failure are among the most challenging patients to resuscitate. In this podcast, we...
