Adding nitric oxide to membrane lung (through the swwp gas flow) in children on #ECMO, before-after study including 🔍 393 #ECLS runs: 49% received NO Just out on @asaiojournal #PedsICU 🖇️ bit.ly/3SWECfE
Adding NO to the SGF to ML in children on #ECMO?? 🖇️ bit.ly/3SWECfE 📦 use of NO associated with 37% ⬇️ in circuit change 🧠 link between NO & lower risk of neurologic injury in children who underwent cardiac surgery observed ⚖️ no difference in survival between study groups Given theoretical benefits associated with NO (such as preventing PLT adhesion to surfaces, mitigating inflammatory response, protection against I/R injury) & observed benefits in this study, NO therapy warrants on ECMO warrants prospective evaluation in #PedsICU. @asaiojournal

Steroids and adrenaline for children with bronchiolitis in the PICU: would you or wouldn’t you?

Replying to @ExpensiveScare
Considering both these treatments are non standard for Bronch in AU this raises many Qs. Esp if just those on high flow benefit. So should all infants who need high flow have this Rx?

Combined dexamethasone and nebulised adrenaline reduces duration of respiratory support in PICU patients! Congratulations @BenGelbarttwitr @RCHMelbourne @MCRI_for_kids for the DAB trial; pragmatic RCT in paediatric ICU patients admitted with bronchiolitis: sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Full text available👇👀👀. What are you going to do with this info? Should we be routinely using corticosteroids and nebulised adrenaline for all paediatric patients admitted to ICU with bronchiolitis? And do you nebulise your adrenaline to have small enough droplets?

Very sad to announcing the passing of A/Prof Andrew Hilton. A loving & caring husband & father. An irreplaceable, compassionate and brilliant clinician. A tireless voluntary worker for CICM.

Simple, step-by-step video guide to master ultrasound guided vascular access from Royal Children’s Hospital, Melbourne. Aim for first pass success, every time. Long cannula allows majority of cannula *in* the vessel = max longevity and min complication. vimeo.com/royalchildrenshosp…

Flexible nasoendoscopy to examine the nasal septum, turbinates, nasopharynx, soft palate, base of tongue and larynx. It’s a simple, well tolerated procedure that would give a lot of useful information.

“Intensive care isn’t designed for massive peaks like that.” Intensive care doctor Stephen Warrilow explains why #Covid19 treatments are so challenging for hospitals. More @business : trib.al/ILl86Wc

A flexible nasoendoscopy is a routine procedure I perform on many patients daily as part of a complete ENT examination. If you’re interested in seeing my nasal turbinates, nasopharynx and larynx, catch this 2 minute video of me doing it to myself.

ICU will save your life. The people will save ICU #SocialDistance #FlattenTheCurve @anzics @SaferCareVic We have to change how we live for now. #covid19australia – at Melbourne, Victoria
Just been for some groceries in Sandringham, Vic. Street cafes packed with peeps having breakfast and (close quarter) chats. Lovely still morning for it. For transmitting covid. I don’t think we are getting it. #SocialDistance This is important everyone. This will save lives.
