Critical Care Advances in the Prehospital Arena

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Travis Murphy, an ER intensivist, discusses recent advancements in pre-hospital critical care, focusing on studies from the past 12 months. The U.K.-based ARREST trial showed no significant benefit in sending cardiac arrest patients to specialized centers versus nearest EDs. A systematic review on airway management in cardiac arrest favored supraglottic airways over endotracheal intubation for quicker placement. A study on pre-hospital platelet inhibitors revealed benefits in STEMI management without increasing major bleeding. Updated pre-hospital guidelines for traumatic brain injury (TBI) stress maintaining normal blood pressure and oxygen levels. Negative findings from PATCH-ENDSX and PROCOAG trials caution against routine TXA and PCC pre-hospital use.
