Tachypnoea at 60 breaths per minute increases odds of mortality in infants with sepsis
Emergency Medicine Meta-analysis
Tachypnoea at 60 breaths per minute increases odds of mortality in infants with sepsis Rapid breathing in infants linked to higher sepsis mortality
This meta-analysis evaluates the association between tachypnoea and mortality or culture-confirmed sepsis in infants aged 0 to 59 days. Tach…
Fast breathing rates can signal a serious risk of death in newborns with sepsis, helping doctors identify the most at-risk infants more quic…
Hyperphosphatemia is associated with increased ICU and hospital mortality in adult intensive care patients
Emergency Medicine Meta-analysis
Hyperphosphatemia is associated with increased ICU and hospital mortality in adult intensive care patients High phosphorus levels linked to higher death rates in ICU
This meta-analysis of 43 observational studies examined the impact of phosphorus levels on outcomes in adult ICU patients. Hyperphosphatemia…
High phosphorus levels in intensive care patients are linked to longer hospital stays and a higher risk of death.
IgM-enriched immunoglobulin shows directionally favorable but statistically inconclusive results for short-term mortality in sepsis
Emergency Medicine Meta-analysis
IgM-enriched immunoglobulin shows directionally favorable but statistically inconclusive results for short-term mortality in sepsis IgM Therapy for Sepsis Shows Promise but Not Proof
This meta-analysis of 411 adults with sepsis or septic shock found that IgM-enriched immunoglobulin (Pentaglobin) showed a favorable trend f…
A new analysis hints IgM therapy may lower sepsis deaths, but the evidence isn't strong enough to recommend it yet.
Role-modeling video prebriefing improves metacognition and ALS performance among novice ward nurses
Emergency Medicine RCT
Role-modeling video prebriefing improves metacognition and ALS performance among novice ward nurses Role Modeling Videos Improve ALS Training for Ward Nurses
This randomized controlled trial of 205 novice ward nurses found that role-modeling video prebriefing led to greater gains in metacognition …
New research shows that using role-modeling videos helps novice nurses gain more confidence and better performance during life-saving ALS tr…
High MAP target of 77 mmHg reduces pulmonary vascular resistance in OHCA survivors
Emergency Medicine RCT
High MAP target of 77 mmHg reduces pulmonary vascular resistance in OHCA survivors Higher Blood Pressure Targets May Improve Heart Function in Cardiac Arrest
This randomized controlled trial sub-study evaluated 730 comatose out-of-hospital cardiac arrest survivors. A higher mean arterial pressure …
A clinical trial suggests that targeting higher blood pressure may improve heart and lung circulation for patients recovering from cardiac a…
Plasma ANXA3 shows superior predictive accuracy for sepsis compared to PCT, IL-6, and SOFA
Emergency Medicine Meta-analysis
Plasma ANXA3 shows superior predictive accuracy for sepsis compared to PCT, IL-6, and SOFA Protein levels may help doctors predict life-threatening sepsis faster
This meta-analysis and retrospective cohort study evaluate Annexin A3 (ANXA3) as a biomarker for sepsis. The analysis found that plasma ANXA…
A specific protein called ANXA3 shows more promise than current markers at predicting sepsis and identifying high-risk patients in intensive…
Levetiracetam lowers early seizure risk versus phenytoin after neurosurgery, but evidence is weak
Emergency Medicine Meta-analysis
Levetiracetam lowers early seizure risk versus phenytoin after neurosurgery, but evidence is weak Levetiracetam Shows Potential for Preventing Early Post-Surgery Seizures
This meta-analysis of antiseizure medication prophylaxis in adults after supratentorial neurosurgery found a significant benefit for early s…
A review of clinical trials suggests levetiracetam may be more effective than phenytoin at preventing early seizures after brain surgery.
Skin perfusion parameters Mottling Score, CRT, and PPI correlate with higher mortality in sepsis patients
Emergency Medicine Meta-analysis
Skin perfusion parameters Mottling Score, CRT, and PPI correlate with higher mortality in sepsis patients Skin Perfusion Markers Linked to Higher Sepsis Mortality Risk
This meta-analysis of 22 articles involving 2,727 subjects indicates that skin perfusion markers are associated with increased mortality ris…
Specific skin signs like mottling and slow capillary refill may help doctors identify patients with sepsis who are at a higher risk of death…
