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

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?

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.

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.

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.
