Both delirium 😵‍💫 & frailty 🚫💪 are important predictors of mortality in ICU patients… but do they interact to associate w harm? 👀 at @catchdrash et al’s new study, just out in #journal_CHESTCritCare, to find out: chestcc.org/article/S2949-…

I believe that #ECMO is a life-saving temporising intervention. Yet, there are ethical dilemmas when it appears "futile". In @LancetRespirMed, @kshekar01 @KrKrramanathan and I envision a future where ECMO can be reliably used as a long-term device. thelancet.com/journals/lanre…

🧐 What is the burden of AHRF in ICUs? 🫂 ANZICS APD 2005-2024: 1.5m patients with ABGs 🫁 >50% had AHRF within 24h of ICU admission! 🪦 Mortality ⬆️with worsening P/F ratios, esp <200. ⏲️ Mortality ⬇️ with time, but not unique to AHRF alone... 🔓 bit.ly/3Xrdh8E #FOAMed

Acute hypoxemic respiratory failure in #ICU in 🇦🇺🇳🇿: disease burden may be higher than expected! 🪦mortality ⬆️ with ⬇️ P/F, particularly <200: need to reconsider how we stratify AHRF severity? 🪦mortality ⬇️ over time: improvements in critical care? 🔓 bit.ly/3Xrdh8E

Well done @Intensive_Ryo @catchdrash Very important work highlighting the importance of 1. the association of frailty with outcomes of IHCA 2. deploying CPR in appropriate patients 3. the need to have goals of care discussions with inpatients

Published in @TheLancet , a recent study undertaken by Peninsula Health specialists Dr Mallikarjuna Ponnapa Reddy, A/Prof Ashwin Subramaniam and their team has suggested some significant COVID-19 related findings. bit.ly/3UTLH0o

With an excellent, insightful commentary by Marcus Schultz, David van Meenen, and @Acute_Pulmo_Med on the lessons learnt during the pandemic.

- No compliance based subphenotypes observed in COVID-related ARDS - Making changes to conventional ventilatory strategies/adopting newer strategies based on scarce evidence in emerging infectious respiratory pathologies can be deleterious.@LancetRespirMed

New meta-analysis on #COVID #ARDS #phenotypes out in @LancetRespirMed: 🫁 compliance is NORMALLY distributed 📠 vent. management for #COVID #ARDS should not differ from non-COVID-19 ARDS 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 more patient-level analyses needed sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Well done. Thanks Malli Reddy for leading this project. Thanks to all who were involved. @kshekar01 @ryanryling @KrKrramanathan @PeninsulaHealth
