#CCR25 #PAV+ #PROMIZINGtrial - Evidence to date suggests PAV+ mode might help patients get off the ventilator faster and more smoothly than standard pressure support. Less time on the vent, earlier liberation! Does the Promizing Trial support this?
#CCR25 - Interesting thought - What would have happened if the #FluidTrial had been a “positive trial”? Would we have thrown out the inferior fluid... “Normal Saline” or “Hartmanns” - or will we always have a role for each at the patient level?
#FluidTrial #CCR25 - Can a trial be too big? 🤔 When you include everyone, sometimes the signal from high-risk groups gets lost in the noise. It is the high risk group that will struggle to deal with the pasta water. 🍝💧
What would #CCR25 be without a 💧 FLUID Trial 💧!! IV fluids — the most commonly used drug in hospitals — but we still don’t know if the type matter?
NOTACS Trial now being presented at #CCR25! This multicentre RCT tests whether prophylactic High-Flow Nasal Therapy can reduce pulmonary complications & improve recovery in high-risk cardiac surgery patients vs standard oxygen. 🫁🫀
