Novel approaches to ventilation aim to minimise this risk, and one such strategy is the incorporation of oesophageal pressure monitoring.

The ultimate outcome for patients who are resuscitated from cardiac arrest depends heavily on the neurological damage that results from a low flow state. Prevention of further damage during this phase is one of the core goals of post resuscitation care. In recent years, a multitude of research papers have been produced which examine various aspects of this approach, including oxyge

eCPR and the SHERPA trial

Apr 18 2023 11 mins

This podcast comes to you from the 2023 ANZICS Clinical Trials Group Noosa meeting. ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) is steadily embedding itself into modern critical care medicine.

Cardiac arrest causes neurological injury through a sustained period of hypoxia and ischaemia. It has long been thought that avoiding further hypoxia could save vulnerable brain tissue, leading to the common practice of deliberate hyperoxygenation. However, recent research has suggested this approach may in fact be harmful. Paul Young is an Intensivist and critical care researcher
