While high PEEP, low tidal volume, pressure limited ventilation is well established in the management of ARDS patients, a range of open lung strategies are variably used and of unproven value.
The ANZICS CTG endorsed PHARLAP trial set out to explore a protocolised set of these interventions.
Sadly PHARLAP has run into a hurdle.
So has it run its race? Or is there still more to the open lung story?
Primary investigator for the PHARLAP trial, Carol Hodgson of the ANZICS Research Centre, joined me to chat about PHARLAP at the 2018 ANZICS Clinical Trials Group meeting in Noosa

When should we give fluids in sepsis? How much?

This interview was recorded at the 20th annual meeting of ..read more

“To die, to sleep – to sleep, perchance to dream – ay, there’s the rub, for in this sleep of death what dreams may come…” (Hamlet)
Shakespeare may not have been talking about the tumult of the ICU survivor, but you could be forgiven for thinking so.
Sleep deprivation is familiar to us all. It's clear that our patients experience it frequently, and it is not hard to believe that it affects them greatly, both acutely in the ICU, and following discharge.
So what are we doing about it?
Rebecca Hahn is exploring the attitudes and behaviours of fellow ICU nurses with respect to sleep ..read more
