SCCM Resource Library-Year in Review: Emergency Medicine and Prehospital Care

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, three different studies were discussed.<br /><br />The first study, TTM2, compared the outcomes of patients who received hypothermia treatment after cardiac arrest with those who received normothermia treatment. The study found no difference in mortality or functional impairment at six months between the two groups.<br /><br />The second study looked at the use of echocardiography in post-arrest care. It found that patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction and no regional wall abnormalities had worse outcomes, including increased mortality and longer ICU stays.<br /><br />The third study focused on enteral feeding intolerance in critically ill patients. The study found that about 24% of patients experienced feeding intolerance, which was associated with reduced meeting of protein and caloric goals, increased ventilator days, and longer ICU stays.<br /><br />Lastly, the ALSO 2021 guidelines for ECMO utilization in COVID-19 were discussed. The guidelines emphasize principles of conventional management for ARDS, early transfer and referral to ECMO centers, and considerations for long-term options and bridging therapy.<br /><br />Overall, these studies provide insights into the management of patients following cardiac arrest, the use of echocardiography, enteral feeding intolerance in critically ill patients, and the utilization of ECMO in COVID-19.
