SCCM Pod-502: Current Concepts: Hemostatic Resuscitation for Traumatic and Nontraumatic Hemorrhage

This is the second episode of SCCM’s Current Concepts Series, in which authors unveil exclusive insights into the 2024 Current Concepts Course. Diane C. McLaughlin, DNP, AGACNP-BC, CCRN, FCCM, is joined by Nasim Motayar, MD, to discuss updates in hemostatic resuscitation for traumatic and nontraumatic hemorrhage.


SCCM Pod-174: Damage Control Resuscitation

Bryan A. Cotton, MD, MPH, discusses damage control resuscitation with new iCritical Care Podcast editor Jeffrey Guy, MD, MSc, MMHC.


SCCM Pod-387 Targeted Temperature Management

Kyle B. Enfield, MD, and Sheila A. Alexander, BSN, PhD, RN, FCCM, review targeted temperature management, especially its use in treating intracerebral hemorrhage.


Concise Critical Appraisal: ARREST Trial: ECMO Versus Advanced Cardiac Life Support

The ARREST Trial compared extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO)-facilitated resuscitation to advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) treatment in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). This month’s Concise Critical Appraisal takes a deep dive into the trial, published in The Lancet.


Concise Critical Appraisal: Is CPR Futile for COVID-19 Patients?

Is cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) futile in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 experiencing cardiac arrest? A study recently published in Critical Care Medicine sought to answer this question and provide more data around outcomes of in-hospital cardiac arrest in patients with COVID-19.


Concise Critical Appraisal: Effect of a Resuscitation Strategy Targeting Peripheral Perfusion Status Versus Serum Lactate

Hernández et al (JAMA. 2019;321:654-664) set out to address that question with a multicenter randomized trial in which they compared two resuscitative targets: the normalization of blood lactate and the normalization of peripheral perfusion as quantified by capillary refill time.


Concise Critical Appraisal: Ultra-Low Tidal Volume Ventilation During CPR

Ruemmler et al (Resuscitation. 2018;132:56-62) set out to compare intermittent positive pressure ventilation to passive oxygenation (continuous positive airway pressure) and a novel ultra-low tidal volume ventilation (ULTVV) regimen.
