Outcome of status asthmaticus at a pediatric intensive care unit in Hong Kong.
CONCLUSIONS: SA accounts for a small proportion of PICU admissions. LOS was short and prognosis generally good. Nonadherence to prior asthma therapy was common. The most common trigger is enterovirus/rhinovirus for children with severe asthma requiring PICU admission. A trend of increase in usage of ipratropium, magnesium sulphate and NIV was observed. Primary prevention and early treatment of exacerbation are the most important step in managing children with asthma. Regular follow up to ensure compliance together with annual vaccination could possibly avoid PICU admissions. PMID: 31965725 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: Strategies for Preventing Vasospasm in the Intensive Care Unit
This article addresses the intensive care unit (ICU) management of patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), with an emphasis on the prevention of cerebral vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), which are major contributors to morbidity and mortality. Interventions addressing various steps in the development of vasospasm have been attempted, with variable success. Enteral nimodipine remains the only approved measure to potentially prevent DCI. Since oral and intravenous administrations are limited by hypotension, direct administration via sustained-release pellets and intraventricular administration o...

Postinterventional critical care management of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage
Purpose of review: Subarachnoid hemorrhage from a ruptured aneurysm (aSAH) is a complex disorder with the potential to have devastating effects on the brain as well as other organ systems. After more than 3 decades of research, the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms remain incompletely understood and important questions remain regarding the evaluation and management of these patients. The purpose of this review is to analyze the recent literature and improve our understanding of certain key clinical aspects. Recent findings: Growing body of evidence highlights the usefulness of CT perfusion scans in the diagnosis of v...

Total and ionized magnesium testing in the surgical intensive care unit – Opportunities for improved laboratory and pharmacy utilization
Conclusions In the surgical ICU, categorical agreement (low, normal, high) was poor between Mg and iMg. Over 80% of “low” total Mg values are erroneous and may result in unnecessary additional measurements and repletion.

Research and Reviews in the Fastlane 035
This study suggests that antiemetics are not nearly as potent as widely believed. These drugs have been shown to be effective in preventing nausea (i.e. pretreatment for chemo) but it’s appears that the mechanism for halting nausea is different than that for preventing it.

Research and Reviews in the Fastlane 053
This study combines the results from the WARFASA and ASPIRE trials looking at aspirin prophylaxis. The results are promising. Aspirin 100 mg reduced the rate of recurrent VTE from 7.5%/year to 5.1%/year (HR = 0.68) without a significant change in bleeding rate (0.5%/year vs 0.4%/year). We often see patients in the ED with a history of unprovoked VTE who are on no long-term prophylaxis. This article argues that we consider aspirin for all these patients.

This study looks at the effect of institution of duty hour restrictions on the outcome of Medicare patients. Although the study is retrospective and derived from large database information, it gives us a peak into the bigger picture of duty hours regulations: patient outcomes. The study authors found no difference in any important outcomes. It is similarly unclear whether these restrictions have improved resident quality of education or quality of life. Large system wide changes duty hour restrictions should, in the future, be implemented not based on theory but actual data of improved outcomes. An accompanying editorial d...

Research and Reviews in the Fastlane 065
This study looked at how patients and doctors can use shared decision making to reduce in patient work ups for low risk chest pain. Using a chest pain decision aid, they reduced in patient work ups by 19%. The brilliance here is in the application of the theory of shared decision making and the knowledge transfer to patients using this system.Recommended by: Anand SwaminathanThe Best of the RestCardiology, Emergency MedicineBangalore S et al.

The Association Between Admission Magnesium Concentrations and Lactic Acidosis in Critical Illness
Conclusions: Magnesium deficiency is a common finding in patients admitted to the ICU and is associated with lactic acidosis. Our findings support the biologic role of magnesium in metabolism and raise the possibility that hypomagnesemia is a correctable risk factor for lactic acidosis in critical illness.
