30YO woman in plastic surgery office for breast augmentation. 40 minutes of attempts with laryngoscopy and bag-mask ventilation. cric performed after bradycardic and somehow pt did well. errors = lack of LMA, perseveration

folks figured out trans-cranial doppler using M-mode probes. amazing. this makes me feel really guilty for struggling with a 2D probe.

- increased incidence of arrest during COVID surges (greatest in provinces with highest COVID rate)
- more unwitnessed arrests, higher field mortality, lower rate of bystander CPR

OMI vs. NOMI: The STEMI/NSTEMI is a failed pardigm!

- we've tried putting band-aids on STEMI.
- the list of STEMI-equivalents keeps growing!
- unfortunately there's no consistent approach to these (cath lab may refuse to activate)

- STEMI algorithm evolved from prior QWMI/NQWMI pardigm, based on RCTs involving thrombolysis
- STEMI is an improvement on ignoring EKG entirely, but it's deeply flawed
- OMI is the next pardigm

Additional frontiers in venous congestion: What does it mean if there is pulsatile venous flow in the *femoral* vein?

Secret Weapon - Inhaled Pulmonary Vasodilators!
When managing the sickest patients with RV failure or hypoxemia, these can come in clutch.

Inhaled pulm vasodilators do roughly three things physiologically. First, they pull blood towards the best-ventilated alveoli. This improves ventilation/perfusion matching and oxygenation. (Yep it always comes back to VQ matching.)

#2) Some patients with ARDS develop a right --> left shunt. these patients can be hard to treat, because increasing airway pressures (e.g. recruitment) may *increase* pulmonary vascular resistance and worsen the shunt! pulmonary vasodilators can reduce shunting

Zentensivism doesn't mean not responding rapidly when necessary. but it may mean rapid de-escalation of therapy when possible. when the patient is improving, allow them to heal and get out of the way.

how to get the views
(1) parasternal short axis or a modified parasternal long axis view that looks at the RVOT
(2) can get good doppler angles from subcostal windows

flipping the vent! CPAP & APRV
- usually we dichotomize vent into 1st forcing patient to obey our tidal volumes, only later on allowing patients to breathe on their own
- CPAP/APRV: patient breathes on their own from the start

- CPAP/APRV: patient breathes on their own from the start
- @EMNerd_at #HRreloaded
to breathe, we need 3 things:
1) neurological drive to breathe (often depends on sedation and analgesia)
2) working diaphragm
3) adequate compliance

- @EMNerd_at #HRreloaded
most patients have problems with #3 - patients are operating with a compressed "baby lung" which isn't at their normal residual volume. CPAP may bring the patient back to their resting lung volume, allowing the patient to breathe on their own.

POCUS is the most accessible way to investigate the diaphragm in critical care (patients may not be excited about swallowing an esophageal balloon)

ECMO has been around since the 1970s. this image shows a successful ECMO run! however, ecmo in the 1970s wasn't generally awesome.

does ECMO work?
- CESAR trial: transport to ECMO center improved survival. Controversial b/c many patients didn't actually get ECMO.
- EOLIA trial: stopped early, but bayesian re-analysis suggested may be positive after all ?!?

how did we get to our current paradigm of ventilator support?
- historical approaches included hanging upside down and rolling patients over barrels (prone ventilation! what's old is new again?)

heterogeneity! variations in compliance and lung disease will drive differences in optimal ventilation strategy

as soon as bellows started being used to ventilate, it became evident that excessive volume could cause harm! (previously, mouth-to-mouth resuscitation naturally prevented barotrauma)

Weingart on hemodynamic assassination due to intubation
- preintubation hypotension = primary risk factor
- primary physiology = loss of catechols & transition from negative to positive pressure (reduces preload)

Protective pathway for intubation
- separate out dissociation vs. paralysis
- 1st titrate ketamine to unawareness (ensures adequate dose but not too much)
- 2nd paralyze with high dose (2 mg/kg roc!) - ensures rapid onset

Hemodynamically *neutral* path avoids rapid transition from negative --> positive pressure
- Purest form = awake intubation
- Addition of ketamine may facilitate in agitated pt
- Bronchoscopic intubation may involve least stimulation
