ICU Rounds:
I don’t want to brag about myself but 2 days ago I managed *without giving albumin* a septic patient who was on norepinephrine 0.32 mcg/kg/min & vasopressin 0.04 u/min & had an albumin of 1.5 g/dl. Today he is off pressors. Who could imagine?

🩸 Hemorrhagic risk in VA #ECMO is complex! RBC transfusion exposure is by far higher than in other critically ill populations. #ECPR & antiplatelets act as additional risk factors. Transfusion practice for variable, does not always follow international guidelines.

Driving vs transpulmonary pressure?
🫁 ΔP = Pplat - total PEEP
🫁 PL = Paw - Ppl (Ppl approximated by Pes)
🗝️ key advantage of PL? allows to distinguish lung vs chest wall mechanics
ΔP enables individualization of VT according to size of baby lung; PL allows to titrate PEEP

Bronchoscopy-optimized settings: inspiratory flow ≤ 25 l/min, tidal volume = 5ml/kg, 1s ≤ inspiratory time ≤ 1.3s, respiratory frequency = 16 breaths/min, positive end-expiratory pressure = 5cmH2O
Kudos to the authors!

What’s the best site for chest compressions?
Probably mid-LV
Guideline recommended location overlies the LV in the minority of cases
TTE may be a good tool to better localize mid LV and thus optimal compression location (esp if TEE unavailable)
