Dexmedetomidine- or Clonidine-Based Sedation Compared With Propofol in Critically Ill Patients
SFY - Dexmedetomidine- or Clonidine-Based Sedation Compared With Propofol in Critically Ill Patients What was it? A multicenter, open-label, randomized clinical trial comparing dexmedetomidine-based and clonidine-based sedation versus propofol-based sedation (usual care) in critically ill patients on mechanical ventilation. The trial tested whether α2-adrenergic receptor agonist-based sedation reduces time to successful extubation. The Devil in... Continue Reading →

Prolonged vs shorter awake prone positioning for COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory failure: a multicenter, randomised controlled trial
SFY - Prolonged vs shorter awake prone positioning for COVID-19 patients with acute respiratory failure: a multicenter, randomised controlled trial What was it? This was a multicenter randomized trial comparing prolonged awake prone positioning (>12 hours daily for 7 days) with standard care (shorter prone positioning) in non-intubated COVID-19 patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure...

AF on the ITU and beyond…cardiology meets ICU!
I delivered a talk at the ACTACC 20204 meeting in Cardiff with my friend and colleague Nish Sall. We used Slido and interaction with the crowd of cardiothoracic anaesthetists/Intensivists, to scope opinions on practice when our patients suffer from Fast arrhythmias. There was a particular focus on new-onset AF. AOP Health sponsored the session -... Continue Reading →
Beta-blockers​ in sepsis…the biggest oxymoron since​ the hard collar!? #FOAMed #FOAMcc #POCUS
Written by: Dr Hannah Gardner & Dr Helen Vesey (ICU Fellows) Peer reviewed by: Dr Jonny Wilkinsoin & Dr Dave Popple Intro and background to this... Every year, there are at least 250,000 cases of sepsis in the UK and 52,000 deaths. According to the ICNARC data from 2010-2013, there were 383,314 admissions to critical... Continue Reading →
