New/Mailbag: APROCCHSS-CAP, Intubation Timing, and Driving Pressure
Jun 4, 2024
In this podcast, they discuss steroids in septic shock from community acquired pneumonia, the challenges of intubation timing, and driving pressure in critical care. They analyze the Approach trial, share insights on subgroup analysis, and debate the benefits of steroid administration. The hosts also joke about a triathlon, announce upcoming conferences, and highlight the importance of evaluating secondary analyses.

Driving Pressure and its Impact on Patient Outcomes
Driving pressure, the force required to drive tidal volume for a patient's ventilation, is crucial in critical illness. Studies show that higher driving pressure increases the risk of death, independent of plateau and PEEP pressures. However, the relationship between driving pressure and tidal volume makes it challenging to distinguish between strategies that limit each. The retrospective analyses examining this topic lack strong interpretability due to patient variability in outcomes, highlighting the need for randomized trials to determine the most effective ventilation strategies.
