Interesting! And a good opportunity to reassess one's priors
I came to a realization today that I am now old enough to stop pretending I like neutral milk hotel.
This trial strongly suggests that etomidate is the preferred induction agent in emergency tracheal intubation #medsky

#CCR26 Conservative oxygen therapy, vs usual oxygen therapy, did not significantly affect the % of patients with cardiac arrest receiving invasive mechanical ventilation in the ICU who survived with a favourable functional outcome @dogicuma.bsky.social Manuscript now available online @nejm.org

In the SNAP trial, cefazolin was noninferior to flucloxacillin or cloxacillin with respect to 90-day mortality in patients with methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia and had fewer nephrotoxic effects. Read the full trial results: https://nej.md/4vL0M6m
Among critically ill adults with acute respiratory failure, neither carbocisteine nor hypertonic saline reduced the duration of mechanical ventilation, and each strategy was associated with harm. Full phase 3 MARCH trial results: https://nej.md/3PUyHdA

Induction medication for emergency intubation — does the choice matter? NEJM Editorial Fellow Katerina Lin, MD, explains a randomized trial to determine the effects of ketamine vs. etomidate for induction of anesthesia during emergency tracheal intubation. Full RSI trial results: nej.md/44EOlxB
This is a practice changing study for me. I am proud to have contributed to it!
