Critical Care Alert: Recall During Paralysis Among ED Patients Being Intubated

11/2/2022 Alex Lucas, MD , Taylor Miller, MD

How many of your patients can recall events during what you believed was a sedated endotracheal intubation? This study finds an appreciable number of patients who are paralyzed for intubation in the e

Critical Care Alert: ETCO2 as a Predictor of Patient Outcomes

8/15/2022 Brittney I. Gordon, MD , Mustafa Rasheed, MD , Taylor Miller, MD

Critical Care Alert: The triage of patients in the trauma bay is difficult, and no single measurement or vital sign will provide sufficient information for mortality. This study indicates ETCO2 - a co

Critical Care Alert: Femoral artery Doppler ultrasound is more accurate than manual palpation for pulse detection in cardiac arrest

8/1/2022 Erin Bell, MD , Taylor Miller, MD

Critical Care Alert: Femoral artery Doppler ultrasound is more accurate than manual palpation for pulse detection in cardiac arrest. Although it was a small study, it sheds light on resuscitation mana

Critical Care Alert: Epinephrine v. Norepinephrine in Cardiac Arrest Patients with Post-Resuscitation Shock

5/14/2022 Brendan Innes, MD , Brian Sumner, MD , Taylor Miller, MD

Post-resuscitation shock occurs in 50-70% of patients after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, and this study provides evidence that norepinephrine is likely a preferable vasopressor to epinephrine in po
