This trial randomly assigned patients with coma after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest to undergo targeted hypothermia at 33°C or normothermia with treatment of fever. At 6 months, there were no significant between-group differences regarding death or functional outcomes.

The interleukin-6 receptor blockers tocilizumab and sarilumab were tested against standard care in a randomized trial involving patients newly admitted to the intensive care unit and requiring respiratory or blood-pressure support. #COVID19 #IDTwitter

Excited for @LaheyHospital Medical Ground Rounds tomorrow where @toddrice_ICU will be discussing balanced fluids vs saline

Even though supplemental oxygen is used for the treatment of patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure, the most effective oxygenation targets are not known. In this randomized trial, a lower oxygenation target did not result in lower mortality than a higher target.

LaheySim twitter is back up and running! Great simulation this week run by Dr Lamb with the pulm crit fellows on how to treat massive hemoptysis. @LHSimCenter @LaheyHospital #CriticalCare

It’s that time of the year again !! We welcome everyone to join the IP course from April 1-4, 2020. It would be a unique opportunity to learn a broad skill set and learn from the best in diagnosis and treatment of complex airway and pleural disease!! cmetracker.net/LAHEY

Now on #LiveStream: Researchers present findings from the VITAMINS trial, which compared the effects of #VitaminC + thiamine added to hydrocortisone on mortality in septic shock. What did they find??: Watch: ja.ma/2FZoipn Read: ja.ma/30uwB5K #CCR20

Results of the PEPTIC trial do not preclude the possibility of a small increase in hospital mortality with PPIs vs H2RBs despite showing a small reduction in clinically important GI bleeding ja.ma/2tgkzB9 #CCR20 #VisualAbstract

Productive year. The group continues to grow and continues to answer important clinical questions.

Congrats to Dr.Carla Lamb & the Interventional Pulmonary Team @LaheyHospital for launching their Zephyr Valve program. Zephyr Endobronchial Valves is a less-invasive treatment option for COPD & emphysema. For more information on the Zephyr Valves visit MyLungsMyLife.com

PREPARE trial: Does a fluid bolus prevent hemodynamic decompensation after intubation? (short answer: bringing a bag of crystalloid to laryngoscopy is bringing a knife to a gunfight). Fresh blog: bit.ly/2Btm4w3

Is deep sedation in the emergency department associated with worse clinical outcomes? Find out in this @CritCareMed journal club webcast: bit.ly/2FztkK5 #SCCMSoMe #CritCareMed

The latest publication from the @PCCRG: the #PrePARE randomized trial of a fluid bolus vs none to prevent cardiovascular collapse during endotracheal intubation of critically ill adults is now published in @LancetRespirMed thelancet.com/journals/lanre…

Congratulations!
