Pitfalls in Difficult Airway Management
📌Pre-intubation Risk Assessment:
📌Avoid Inappropriate Ventilator Settings:
📌Avoid Unnecessary Sodium Bicarbonate.
📌Avoid Prolonged Apnea.
📌Avoid Post-intubation Hypotension.
📌Avoid Inappropriate Induction Agents and Doses.
📌Conclusion
Neonatal Resuscitation in the Delivery Room
Term, Tone, and Tantrum Assessment:
Delayed Cord Clamping:
Prompt Resuscitation for Neonates:
Avoid Routine Bulb Suctioning:
Positive Pressure Ventilation:
Chest Compressions and Epinephrine:
Consider Blood Loss and Pneumothorax:
Post-cardiac arrest care
- Four key areas: - Blood pressure support - Immediate catheterization - Targeted temperature management - Full-body imaging Blood pressure support - If SBP below 90 or MAP below 65 mmHg - Initial treatment: 1-2 liters of IV saline or Lactated Ringer's - Vasopressors if BP remains low - Norepinephrine for non-arrest patients - Dopamine, vasopressin, and phenylephrine as second-line agents - Epinephrine for severe hypotension or last resort Immediate catheterization - ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients: immediate PCI - Non-STEMI patients: - Observational studies suggest potential benefits - Randomized controlled trials show mixed results Targeted temperature management (TTM) - Therapeutic hypothermia at 33°C initially recommended - TTM2 trial: no significant difference between 33°C and 36°C - Maintain core body temperature between 32°C and 36°C for at least 24 hours - Trained professionals for induction and monitoring Full-body imaging - Reveals important findings in some cases - Routine use of extensive imaging controversial - Further research needed to determine true benefit Conclusion - Complex decision-making in post-cardiac arrest care - Stay informed on evolving evidence and guidelines - Provide optimal care to patients following a cardiac arrest event MRI Sequences in Clinical Medicine
