2️⃣(Center) As the interstitium thickens, the artifact pattern changes, with B-line artifacts obliterating A-lines. B-lines are hyperechoic vertical artifacts arising from the pleural line extending to the bottom of the field of view. 🫁

✅ ICP monitoring is now viewed as integral to the clinical care of many life-threatening brain insults, such as severe traumatic brain injury, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and malignant stroke.

✅ It serves to warn of expanding intracranial mass lesions, to prevent or treat herniation events as well as pressure elevation which impedes nutrient delivery to the brain. #FOAMcc #NeuroCritCare

1. Set goals of mean or diastolic blood pressures.
2. Individualize the arterial pressure targets goals.
3. Vasopressors induce an endogenous fluid recruitment and may limit positive fluid balance.
4. Reassess fluid status and cardiac output after initiation of vasopressors

5. Consider agents with a different mechanism of action as a second line agent.
6. Consider adding hydrocortisone in patients on high doses of vasopressors.
7. Vasopressin is an option in patients with right ventricular failure.
8. There is no maximal dose of vasopressors.

MAPSE in #IntensiveCare (with examples)🧵#FOAMcc #FOAMed #MedTwitter #Hemodynamic #POCUS #EchoFirst #CriticalCare

1⃣ Can MAPSE redefine "the hyperdynamic heart?
The term "hyperdynamic LV" - EF > 55% - is misleading. It has no relation to a hyperdyanmic circulation; SV/CO. Someone bleeding to death has a hyperdynamic heart, but the circulation is life-threatening hypodynamic.

2/n
MAPSE is cardiac motion, and defining the hyperDYNAMIC heart as good cardiac motion makes perfect sense. Recent geometrical analysis of cardiac pumping shows that MAPSE is the main determinant of SV. Fig from @mugander: tinyurl.com/mxbfmcyk

Still some time for newer tools. Aiming for path towards productivity.
Potential usage of "Synthetic data" to "preserve privacy" and "augment unbalance/or biased data". This is potentially interesting as it allows more transportability of models from one health care system to others.

@ESICM NIV failure - intubat the patient, COPD patient intubated, Vol Control, 7ml/kg PBW, I:E = 1:4 , RR 20. Then patient is "hypotensive". why?

I've had #COVID19 3 times so far this pandemic.
I developed #LongCovid from my 2nd contagion that was serious at the time, I required hospitalization in #ICU and oxygen therapy.
Since Dec 2020 I have lived with #LongCovid since then and when I understood the Multi-organic gravity of #LongCovid

I SURVIVED!
And I still do it daily.
A few days ago I had a 2nd #InfarctionSilent a year ago I had a multiorgan failure accompanied by #infarctionSilente
We know that #COVID19 can cause #myocarditis and that is possibly the case, I don't know yet.
I tell you now.

Kaplan-Meier (KM) curves are a wonderfully informative way of presenting survival outcomes over time. But how do we interpret them? Survival analysis determines the probability of a binary outcome (aka an event or a failure)

Survival means the event being studied has not occurred yet - the patient is still alive if you’re analysing mortality, the baby has not been delivered if analysing births, the patient has not yet met whatever criteria you have decided constitutes an event in your study.

In medical research, the binary outcome of interest is commonly survival vs death though other outcomes/events can be used. KM curves are a visual way of showing the fraction of patients living over time after a treatment, or lack of treatment if in a control group.
