Join Us on Today at 4 pm ET: Current Controversies in Critical Care Webinar! The field of critical care medicine continues to evolve, with new evidence constantly challenging the existing beliefs. While analgesia-first sedation strategy avoids the use of sedative drugs, the use of #opioids to achieve this may lead to acute withdrawal in the short term and persistent opioid use in the long term. Similarly, the timing and choice of vasopressor administration in patients with septic shock remains unclear despite extensive #research, and whether renin as a biomarker should replace lactate in #sepsis treatment is being argued. Post-intensive care syndrome (#PICS) continues to challenge critical care providers, and the role of PICS clinics in improving outcomes is unclear. In such a scenario, this webinar will discuss some of the current controversies in critical care that challenge conventional thinking and will present evidence to help answer some of these questions.

Have you read the September 2024 Bulletin yet? Bulletin: Ambulatory Anesthesia The Society for Ambulatory Anesthesia (#SAMBA) provides guidance for the #perioperative management of adult patients with #diabetes mellitus and #pediatric patients undergoing #tonsillectomy with or without #adenoidectomy. Two metaanalyses assess the concerns of dexamethasone-induced increased hyperglycemia and surgical site infection. #IARSBulletin #anesthesiology #anesthesiaresearch Learn more: https://ow.ly/nhpR50Tbicb

🎉 Congratulations to my colleague and fellow #PINNACLEPeriop researcher, Bijan Teja, on being awarded a 2024 IARS Mentored Research Award (#IMRA) by the International Anesthesia Research Society! 🎉 Bijan is an #anesthesiologist, #criticalcare physician, and #earlycareeresearcher at Unity Health Toronto and Temerty Faculty of Medicine, University of Toronto. His groundbreaking research on the potential role of fludrocortisone - a mineralocorticoid with unique anti-inflammatory properties- in critically ill patients has already resulted in high-impact publications in JAMA Internal Medicine (https://lnkd.in/g8yKXeDD) and American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine (https://lnkd.in/gAD_wTJh). This new grant will propel his program of research forward, building towards a large multicenter randomized trial of this novel intervention aimed at improving outcomes for the 90 million adults globally who suffer from acute hypoxemic #respiratoryfailure each year. I am grateful to the International Anesthesia Research Society for funding this critical work and for its commitment to advancing #earlycareeresearcher careers in #anesthesiology. I look forward to more updates on this important line of investigation at Unity Health Toronto! 🔗 Read more about Bijan's study here (https://lnkd.in/gWQHbPWy).

Have you checked out this case report published in A&A Practice by UCSF Department of Anesthesia and Perioperative Care Drs. Laura Soriano, Mark Rollins and Odmara Barreto Chang yet?

We look forward to reading your research paper! Thanks for sharing your important work.

Happy #WomeninMedicineMonth! The IARS gratefully recognizes and celebrates the women of anesthesia. The women highlighted represent just a few of the many remarkable women with whom we are fortunate to collaborate. They guide and enrich our educational programs, #research efforts and provide #mentorship to those who follow. IARS is proud to encourage and support women in medicine. Thank you to the dedicated women who contribute meaningfully to the IARS mission to lead the global #anesthesiology community to advance the #science and practice of medicine! #WIM #WIA #anesthesia #anesthesiaresearch Discover who these incredible women are: https://ow.ly/hWc050TfYj6
