Critical Care Reviews Newsletter 388 20th May 2019

The 388th Critical Care Reviews Newsletter, provides you with the best critical care research and open access articles from across the medical literature over the past seven days.
The highlights of this week’s edition are a randomised controlled trial on hypothermia in addition to decompressive hemicraniectomy in treatment of malignant middle cerebral artery stroke; systematic reviews and meta analyses on vasoactive medications in septic shock & prophylactic antibiotic use following cardiac arrest; and an observational study reporting an economic evaluation of the TRANSFUSE trial. There are also guidelines on drug-induced liver injury & long-term mechanical circulatory support; narrative reviews on hemoadsorption during ECMO & acute liver failure; and editorials on oxygen therapy & significance testing in clinical trials; as well as correspondence on whether ECMO should be used in cardiogenic shock & if APRV really prevents lung collapse.
