- Prophylactic lumbar drain reduces infarction burden in aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage, improving patient outcomes.
Deep dives
Cardiac Arrest Ventilation Management Study
In the study comparing Bag valve mask ventilation and mechanical ventilation during cardiac arrest, it was found that there was no significant difference in arterial oxygen levels between the two methods. The researchers concluded that mechanical ventilation is feasible and safe during CPR in intubated cardiac arrest patients.
