Deresuscitation specifically refers to 'Late Goal Directed Fluid Removal (LGFR)', which involves "aggressive and active fluid removal by means of diuretics and renal replacement therapy with net ultrafiltration" (Malbrain et al, 2014)
Systolic Pressure Variation and Stroke Volume Variation between spontaneous breathing and mechanical ventilation
Vasoactive agents include the following: inotropes; vasopressors; inodilators and some that don't fit like dopamine...
PaO2/FiO2 ratio is the ratio of arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2 in mmHg) to fractional inspired oxygen (FiO2 expressed as a fraction, not a percentage)
Mechanical cardiopulmonary resuscitation (mCPR) devices are automated devices that provide chest compression during cardiac arrest, without the need for human-performed manual compression.
In drowning victims, it’s primarily respiratory in nature, and they absolutely need ventilations. But how many of the ads for CCPR are that nuanced?
Keeping your patient oxygenated during rapid sequence intubation has never been easier - with Own the Oxygen
If the light on the laryngoscope fails, clean contact between blade and handle, check bulb is screwed in place securely. If this fails, use a spoon
The degree of acid-base abnormality during cardiac arrest and cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is dependent on a number of variables
Arterial Blood Gas in Hypothermia. The solubility of oxygen and carbon dioxide is increased at low temperatures.
Bimanual laryngoscopy using external laryngeal manipulation (ELM) is the single most practical and effective airway management technique for facilitating intubation during direct laryngoscopy.
Resuscitology isn’t really a course or a conference though. It’s a gathering of like-minded Resuscitationists who want to learn from each other on how to optimise their practice.
