Looking forward to this discussion and crossing my fingers that none of us pick the same papers!

Very excited to be presenting the B-free results at #ACC2024 on behalf of the B-free investigators and #PHRI. The results are fascinating and will guide the care of cardiac surgical patients!

B-free includes 19,768 patients from 20 centres across the US and Canada. We examined whether restricting intraoperative benzodiazepines during cardiac surgery in usual care (>99% midazolam) decreased the incidence of postoperative delirium.

I sat down with Rob Mac Sweeney from Critical Care Reviews to unpack the results of B-Free. We had a fascinating discussion, which can be heard here: criticalcarereviews.com/podcasts/b-fre…

low-dose #Midazolam increased #delirium by 1% in 20,000 #cardiacsurgery patients (B-free results presented few hours ago by Jessica Spence at #ACC2024) Are you going to change your practice?

Very excited to be a part of what I think will be one of the highlights of #SCA2024! Join us at the late-breaking updates session for to find out what you need to know for evidence-based cardiac anesthesia practice! Danny Muehlschlegel, MD, MMSc MBA tinyurl.com/237blb5e

First publication of the Study VALIANCE on chronic pain after same-day surgery, showing it is common and occurs mostly in patients without preop pain. VALIANCE is ongoing and will inform on many other important questions in ambulatory surgery! pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38669010/

So funny (and so sad) One of the most important perioperative physician scientist (Prof Paul Myles, Melbourne, Monash University): I published >200 high quality manuscripts in the best scientific journals ... but I became an "hero" only when I carried a shark back to sea
