This document discusses issues in intensive care medicine (ICM) in the UK. It notes that while UK ICM has great leaders and societies, physician autonomy is overly valued. This was demonstrated by a trial comparing the OSCAR and OSCILLATE treatments which found higher mortality in the UK likely due to lower adherence to evidence-based ventilation guidelines. The document argues that the UK also has fewer ICU beds per capita than other countries, admitting sicker patients and resulting in worse outcomes. It concludes that the UK needs more ICU beds and to value evidence-based medicine over physician autonomy to improve outcomes and make the UK's ICU system one of the best in the world.

This document discusses the dangers and ineffectiveness of angioplasty compared to lifestyle changes and bypass surgery for treating coronary obstruction. It states that angioplasty is risky, provides only a temporary solution, and has high costs both financially and in terms of health risks. By contrast, lifestyle changes can prevent or reverse obstruction in many cases. For those who need intervention, bypass surgery provides a complete and long-term solution at a lower cost than repeated angioplasty procedures. The document concludes that lifestyle changes should be the first approach, with bypass surgery as the preferred intervention over angioplasty.

PET scans are a cost-effective way to diagnose and monitor cancer that can improve patient outcomes and quality of life. PET scans identify cancer cells through their higher metabolic rate, appearing as "hot spots". PET/CT scans provide critical information on cancer spread, size, and optimal treatment approach. PET scanning can change management for 30-40% of cancer patients by avoiding unnecessary procedures and identifying effective treatments. While PET scanning has higher initial costs, it provides long term health and economic benefits through more accurate diagnosis and monitoring of treatment. Norway currently lacks sufficient PET scanning capacity to meet patient demand.

This document discusses early supported discharge (ESD) for stroke patients. It notes that stroke is common, serious, expensive to treat, but also treatable. ESD programs can reduce death and disability from stroke compared to traditional hospital-based care. The benefits of several stroke treatments are presented, including aspirin, treatment in a stroke unit, and thrombolysis. Statistics on stroke outcomes in London are provided, which show higher thrombolysis rates and shorter hospital stays compared to other areas. Characteristics of a typical ESD team and patient outcomes from one ESD program in London are described. Patient quotes support the benefits of ESD in allowing earlier discharge from hospital with continued rehabilitation at home. The conclusion is that E
This document discusses standards for evaluating treatment response in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). It notes that mRECIST, which assesses the viable tumor compartment, has been adopted as the reference standard for evaluating systemic therapies like sorafenib. For locoregional therapies like TACE, mRECIST is less applicable and MRI may be superior to CT for evaluation. Overall, the key points are that mRECIST is sufficient for systemic therapies but more research is needed to determine the best methods for evaluating locoregional treatments, where MRI and parametric imaging show promise.
This Talk is a Summary of:
1. Review the Importance of Quality in CPR
2. Discuss the Safety of “Hands-on” Defibrillation
3. Evaluate Manual vs Mechanical CPR
Emergency radiology can offer valuable tools for trauma care including CT imaging and endovascular treatments. CT imaging allows for quick assessment of solid organ and vascular injuries, and can identify life-threatening injuries through pan-scans. Endovascular treatments are also emerging as valuable options for actively bleeding patients by providing "damage control" through techniques like coiling and stent-graft placement. Overall, radiology techniques like CT and angioembolization play an important role in both the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic injuries.
This document discusses navigating complex anatomies during transradial procedures. It notes that radial artery loops, tortuosity, and anomalies can cause procedural failures. Predictors of failure include high bifurcation, tortuosity, and subclavian anomalies. Wire choice is important, with baby J wires being ideal for transradial procedures. Operators must be aware of anatomical variations and challenges. Retrograde angiography can help plan strategies to avoid complications. Finesse is more important than force when encountering resistance.
The document discusses whether the intensive care unit (ICU) is an appropriate place for elderly patients. It notes that the average age of patients who arrest in the ICU is 70 years old, suggesting closer monitoring is needed for older patients. Studies show 29% of Medicare beneficiaries spend their last month of life in the hospital receiving curative care, despite the likelihood of benefit being low. The ICU is a very dangerous place, with fatality risks higher than many industries. The document argues that hospitals may not be the best place for aging, chronically ill patients, and that treatment is often costly and ineffective for this group. Palliative care options with a "plan B" are preferable to ICU admission for many elderly patients. Discrimination

History of ICDs (Internal Cardiac Defibrillators)Jose Osorio
ICDs have been available since the 80s for the prevention of sudden cardiac death. The advancements are quite amazing, with a reduction in size from >250cc to less than 40cc, ease of implantation, safety and longevity.
Mechanical CPR Devices - The current evidenceSCGH ED CME
Mechanical CPR devices were developed to address the problems of early fatigue and declining quality of manual chest compressions during prolonged CPR. They work using either a pneumatic piston or load distributing band to provide uninterrupted, consistent chest compressions. Current evidence from meta-analyses shows that mechanical CPR does not provide benefits over manual CPR in terms of ROSC or long-term survival. However, mechanical CPR may be useful in situations where high-quality manual compressions are difficult or when rescuers need to be protected, such as during transfers or prolonged resuscitation efforts. Guidelines do not recommend routine use of mechanical CPR over manual CPR.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
Our backs are like superheroes, holding us up and helping us move around. But sometimes, even superheroes can get hurt. That’s where slip discs come in.
One health condition that is becoming more common day by day is diabetes.
According to research conducted by the National Family Health Survey of India, diabetic cases show a projection which might increase to 10.4% by 2030.
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.

who should survive and who can survive…..
Catastrophic haemorrhage
Cardiac Tamponade
Abdominal Visceral Injury
Pelvic trauma
Cardiac contusion/stunning
Lung trauma
Impact Apnoea
9. Learning from others?
Despite mechanical CPR, APPs
Current LAS survival rates from Cardiac arrest - less than 10%
(20% at best cf. 40% in hospital)
SAMU proof of concept
CHEER study increase up to 54%
11. What else?
✤
Better REBOA - Zone 1 SAAP

Emergency Preservation Resuscitation
✤
but how do we find direction………
12. Who SHOULD survive in 2028?
✤
Collaborate
✤
Question
✤
Research
✤ Challenging to do trials - e.g. HIRT, EPR CAT
✤ The next generation
✤ e.g. Institute of Pre Hospital Care
14. Whats the knock on of all this
innovation?
✤
It used to be simple
✤ Turn up > get the basics right
✤
But now
✤
Interventions can do harm (if our judgements are wrong)
✤ Live with clinical uncertainty
Experience and exposure is needed to make these decisions
15. Whats the solution?
Put a consultant on every shift?
Make teams 3-4 clinicians?
Big Data
VR consultant presence?
