This trial is the French version of BOOST-3. ICP alone vs ICP+PbtO2 for severe TBI. Guess what? Zero effect on outcome. Not a shocker. Is it reasonable to expect a diagnostic device to improve outcome? The only way it can happen is if the data from the device is linked to

Modifications in #ICU room design may reduce #delirium, where dedicated light therapy potentially contributed to differences in outcome. We are thrilled to share that the first research paper with data from the VITALITY study has been published in Critical Care Medicine. We made the paper

Here’s data that should encourage you NOT to worry when aggressively treating refractory status. In this single center study, RSE pts who had Dose Escalation of Anesthetics had lower mortality in MV analysis than those who did not. #curingcoma neurology.org/doi/abs/10.121…
