JAMA Research Summary: Intraoperative Driving Pressure-Guided High PEEP vs Standard Low PEEP for Postoperative Pulmonary Complications. The study included 1435 adults. Postoperative pulmonary complications occurred in 19.8% (high PEEP) vs 17.4% (low PEEP).
📊 Research Summary: Individualized high PEEP with recruitment maneuvers did not lower risk of postoperative pulmonary complications vs standard low PEEP in open abdominal surgery.

Infographic from JAMA on PEEP effectiveness during surgery. 750 women and 685 men, adults 18+, median age 66, in 29 hospitals across 5 countries were studied. High PEEP (19.8% outcome) vs Low PEEP (17.4% outcome). Results weren't statistically significant.
RCT: Intraoperative high PEEP and recruitment maneuvers did not decrease the incidence of postoperative #PulmonaryComplications and were associated with more hypotension during open abdominal surgery.

Excellent #PedsICU work from @mcgillpccm.bsky.social’s Josh Feder & @bostonchildrens.bsky.social Diana Geisser & Katie Moynihan et al showing that nasal vs oral intubation = assoc with ⬇️ unplanned extubations, ⬇️ sedation requirements & ⬆️ feeding outcomes in #PedsCICU patients #CCCF2025
Cost-effectiveness plot comparing Pantoprazole to no Pantoprazole. The x-axis shows the difference in gastrointestinal bleeding rate, while the y-axis shows the difference in per-patient cost. Most data points cluster in the lower left quadrant.
Daily PPI for intubated patients was associated with a lower total cost per patient and a lower rate of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, this economic evaluation of the REVISE trial finds, saving an estimated $5 million for an ICU with 1000 admissions/year. #CCCF2025 ja.ma/44xSMKB
Still relying on serum creatinine to identify patients with AKI? Visit us today and tomorrow in the exhibit hall at the Canadian Critical Care Forum (Table 16) to learn how NGAL testing can help you manage AKI earlier. #ICU #CriticalCare #CCCF2025
An amazing time at the inaugural #CCCF2025 @atscritcare.bsky.social Datathon! Theme was Overuse in the ICU with awesome projects on hyperoxia, over sedation, and central lines staying in too long!
