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

Video Transcription

Video Summary

Today's webcast featured two articles from the May 2023 issue of Critical Care Medicine. Lucy Porter discussed a prediction model for quality of life after critical illness. The model included baseline quality of life, admission type, and Glasgow Coma Scale in the first 24 hours as predictors. The model was developed and externally validated using data from the Monitor-IC study. It had a practical design with only three variables and showed good predictive power. The model can be used to support healthcare professionals in informing patients and their families about expected changes in quality of life after the ICU. Claudia Smith presented research on cerebrovascular pressure reactivity in pediatric severe traumatic brain injury. Pressure reactivity is a component of cerebral autoregulation and is indicative of the brain's ability to maintain adequate blood flow. PRX was calculated using continuous recordings of intracranial pressure and mean arterial pressure. PRX was found to be consistently higher in patients with poor outcome and was strongly associated with mortality. The findings suggest that PRX could be valuable in directing clinical care and further investigation is needed to assess its clinical utility.
