Conservative oxygen therapy with a target SpO2 of 90% did not reduce 90-day all-cause mortality compared to usual oxygen therapy in mechanically ventilated adult patients.

Editorial: The UK-ROX trial demonstrates that targeting lower oxygen saturation in critically ill patients is safe but does not improve outcomes.

The complicity of NHS England, the GMC, the Colleges & establishment medics in this experiment on NHS patients has been scandalous.
It should never have taken years of grassroots doctor whistleblowing to expose.
But this is a small step in the right direction.

They should be renamed as Clinical Assistants. Any use of ‘doctor’ or ‘physician’ in the name risks further confusion for patients.

This is the largest comparative analysis conducted to date!

When using a hyperangulated videolaryngoscope have you tried "reverse loading" a tracheal tube on to a preformed stylet?
The stylet & tracheal tube are shaped forcibly in the opposite direction to the normal curvature and to match the shape of the blade.

REMAP-CAP has dropped
insanely underpowered in terms of its mortality endpoint (117 patients in one arm)
based on statistical power & methodologic problems, it adds nothing to CAPE-COD
my take hasnt changed since my discussion of CAPE-COD here https://emcrit.org/pulmcrit/cape-cod/ #EMIMCC
Pre-operative use of GLP-1s is known to delay gastric emptying, but does that translate to an increased risk of pulmonary aspiration?
This systematic review and meta-analysis suggests NO.
