Episode 30! This episode is a little different. We recap the SCCM conference first. THEN we go into PROPHY-VAP or "Ceftriaxone to prevent early ventilator-associated pneumonia in patients with acute brain injury" published January 2024 by Professor Dahyot-Fizelier in Lancet Respiratory Medicine. Then we dive into our long neglected mailbag to review listener questions about MINT, intubation timing, ACORN, and all the steroids in ARDS talkPROPHY-VAP: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38262428/SCCM Steroid guidelines: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38240492/Counter-Point should we use steroids in ARDS: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33422201/sRAGE in NIV and HFNC: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38250011/Anaerobes in Aspiration: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37250794/Anaerobes in Gut: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36229047/Be sure to follow us on the social @icucast for the associated figures, comments, and other content not available in the audio format!
