SCCM Resource Library-July Journal Club: Critical Care Medicine (2023)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this webcast, two articles from the July 2023 issue of Critical Care Medicine were presented. The first presentation was on the use of a low-flow extracorporeal carbon dioxide removal device called Hemolung in patients with severe respiratory failure. The study found that Hemolung was effective in reducing hypercapnic acidosis and improving ventilatory support in patients with acute lung injury. Factors associated with survival included age, PF ratio, and non-COVID ARDS. The second presentation explored the timing of antiarrhythmic drug treatment in patients with shock refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. The study found that early treatment with amiodarone improved survival at all time points, while lidocaine showed improved outcomes only at later time points. The study suggests the need for further research to define the optimal timing of drug administration in cardiac arrest patients. Overall, both studies provide valuable insights into the management and treatment of patients with severe respiratory failure and cardiac arrest.
