Ilofotase alfa is a human recombinant alkaline phosphatase with reno-protective effects that showed improved survival and reduced Major Adverse Kidney Events by 90 days (MAKE90) in sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI) patients. REVIVAL, was phase-3 trial conducted to confirm its efficacy safety. In this international double-blinded randomized-controlled trial, SA-AKI patients were enrolled < 72 h on vasopressor 24 of AKI. The primary endpoint 28-day all-cause mortality. main...
OBJECTIVE: To achieve national consensus on standards of training, quality assurance and maintenance competence for critical care ultrasound intensivists trainees in Canada using recently published international training statements. DATA SOURCES: Existing internationally endorsed guidelines expert opinion. SYNTHESIS: In November 2013, a day‐long meeting was held with 15 Canadian experts which essential topics relevant to were discussed. CONCLUSIONS: Consensus achieved direct curriculum,...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Innovation is essential to address healthcare challenges like resource limitations, overcrowded emergency departments, provider burnout, and more. Implementing innovation in faces barriers, including resistance change, lack of multidisciplinary communication alignment, constraints The Actionable Day (AID) approach was developed these creating a model for distilling multidisciplinary, immediately applicable, consensus-based recommendations actionable change....
Objectives Increased use of point‐of‐care ultrasound (US) requires the development assessment tools that measure competency learners. In this study, we developed and tested a tool to assess quality cardiac US studies performed by novices. Methods phase 1, Rapid Assessment Competency in Echocardiography (RACE) scale was on basis structured interviews with subject matter experts; then piloted small series 2. 3, applied sample 154 12 learners; each study independently rated 2 experts,...
The rapid adoption of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) has created a need to develop assessment tools ensure that learners can competently use these technologies. In this study, the authors developed and tested rating scale assess quality thoracic studies performed by novices. Phase 1, Assessment Competency in Thoracic Sonography (ACTS) was based on structured interviews with subject matter experts. tool then piloted small series 2. 3 applied sample 150 POCUS ten learners; performance...
Given the general utility of lung ultrasound for evaluation respiratory failure in acutely ill patients, it is logical to consider its specific advantages coronavirus disease 2019-related pulmonary disease. The authors, representing extensive experience North American and European 2019 epicenters, present an scanning protocol report on common associated findings.
Abstract BACKGROUND: Efficacy of simulators in teaching central venous catheterization (CVC) an internal medicine residency program is unknown. OBJECTIVE: To determine whether or not learning CVC on associated with improvement performance CVC, knowledge about the procedure, and self‐reported confidence. METHODS: All consenting first‐year residents who completed training were included. Participants evaluated pre‐ post‐training by video‐recorded insertion multiple‐choice assessments....
This study sought to define the competencies in ultrasound knowledge and skills that are essential for medical trainees master perform ultrasound-guided central venous catheterization, thoracentesis, paracentesis.Experts 3 procedures were identified by a snowball technique through Canadian tertiary academic health centers. Experts completed 2 rounds of surveys, including an 88-item catheterization survey, 96-item thoracentesis 89-item paracentesis survey. For each item, experts asked...
Lung ultrasound (LUS) is an accurate thoracic imaging technique distinguished by its handheld size, low-cost, and lack of radiation. User dependence poor access to training have limited the impact dissemination LUS outside acute care hospital environments. Automated interpretation using deep learning can overcome these barriers increasing accuracy while allowing point-of-care use non-experts. In this multicenter study, we seek automate clinically vital distinction between A line (normal...
