Propafenone versus amiodarone for supraventricular arrhythmias in septic shock: a randomised controlled trial
ConclusionPropafenone does not provide better rhythm control at 24 h yet offers faster cardioversion with fewer arrhythmia recurrences than with amiodarone, especially in patients with a non-dilated left atrium. No differences between propafenone and amiodarone on the prespecified short- and long-term outcomes were observed. (Source: Intensive Care Medicine)

Sex and gender differences in intensive care medicine
AbstractDespite significant advancements in critical care medicine, limited attention has been given to sex and gender disparities in management and outcomes of patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). While “sex” pertains to biological and physiological characteristics, such as reproductive organs, chromosomes and sex hormones, “gender” refers more to sociocultural roles and human behavior. Unfortunately, data on gender-related topics in the ICU are lacking.
