Congratulations to the RSI trial team #CCRdownunder
In a randomized trial involving critically ill patients undergoing intubation in EDs or ICUs, the use of ketamine for the induction of anesthesia did not lead to significantly lower in-hospital mortality than etomidate. Full trial results: nej.md/44EOlxB

#ARISEAFRICAtrial is a stepped wedge cluster- this design is useful for interventions delivered at the ICU/hospital level and individual randomisation is difficult. Clusters transition from control to intervention at different times www.bmj.com/content/350/... #ccrdownunder @criticalcarereviews.com

Remote multicomponent rehabilitation compared to standard care for survivors of critical illness after hospital discharge (iRehab): a protocol for a randomised controlled assessor-blind clinical and cost-effectiveness trial
The consequences of critical illness can be substantial and multifactorial, encompassing physical deconditioning, mental health impairments, fatigue, and declines in health-related quality of life. We hypothesise that for people discharged after ...

ImmunoSep uses a double-dummy design.
What is this? It is a design to maintain blinding when 2 treatments can't be made identical- all participants receive 2 treatments- one which is active and the other which is placebo #ccrdownunder

Thank you to Fresenius Kabi for a fabulous #FRANCASIA25 in beautiful Taiwan. It was my privilege to be part of the speaking team and share knowledge.

The combined program of ICU, oncology and surgery provides the opportunity to learn from each field
