The early management of polytrauma patients with traumatic
spinal cord injury (tSCI) is a major challenge. A multidisciplinary consensus
panel of 92 physicians from different countries around the world, selected for
their established clinical and scientific expertise in the acute management of tSCI
polytrauma patients have reached a consensus, endorsed by the World Society of Emergency Surgery
(WSES) and the European Association of Neurosurgical Societies (EANS), that includes 17 recommendations (16 strong and 1 weak) for the initial
management of these patients. Download link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13RPnEyhs2RbGqYHdLny1yr7cnY4OJBmc/view?usp=sharing.

Evaluación y manejo de los exudados de las heridas
Exudate plays a key role in wound healing. However, exudate can delay healing when in the wrong amount, in the wrong place, or of the wrong composition. Effective assessment and management of exudate is therefore key to ensuring timely wound healing without complications. The World Union of Wound Healing Societies (WUWHS) last issued guidance on exudate management in 2019. In this document types of wound exudate are defined, clinical methods of assessment of wound exudate production are reviewed and methods of wound debridement and use of different dressing materials according to exudate level are proposed.

GPC de la secuencia rápida de intubación en el paciente crítico
La redacción final de las guías responde a 10 preguntas PICO, y propone una recomendación, siete sugerencias y dos buenas prácticas. Además, identifica para cada pregunta las lagunas de conocimiento que impiden que la evidencia sea mayor, indicando el camino para la investigación.

Airway’s management during the Rapid Sequence Intubation is not uniform everywhere. The Society of Critical Care Medicine, the only professional organization that represents all members of the critical care team and has members from almost 100 countries formed a multidisciplinary guideline panel to review all the questions around the Rapid Sequence Intubation. These, through PICO questions, tried to define the best way to perform the RSI, and present their conclusions in the guidelines we bring you today. Based on the quality of evidence, they make recommendations (when evidence is actionable), suggestions (when evidence is equivocal) and best practice statements (when the benefits of the intervention outweighs the risks, but direct evidence to support the intervention does not exist).
The text, after reviewing 10 PICO questions, provides one recommendation, eight suggestions and two best practice statements. And also identifies the knowledge gaps related to each topic, that could be addressed by future research.

Utilidad de la RCP mediante tos (cough CPR)
Estas técnicas alternativas de CPR podrían estar siendo
usadas tanto por profesionales de la salud como por legos, y su realización
retrasa la realización de las compresiones torácicas. La revisión sistemática
que traemos hoy al blog, realizada por un grupo de investigadores de la
universidad británica de Coventry, analiza la evidencia publicada y concluye
que ninguna de las dos técnicas mejora la supervivencia al alta. Y también que el
golpe precordial, si se intenta, no debe demorar el inicio de las compresiones
torácicas; y que tanto la puño-percusión como la “RCP mediante tos”, si se realizan
en pacientes conscientes en el momento de aparición de una arritmia, no deben
retrasar el tratamiento de la misma. Enlace de descarga: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ck0AyKnSLeazAadF0QtWunJRMNqkRmNY/view?usp=sharing
The so-called “cough CPR”, a deep breath followed by forceful, repeated coughing every few seconds if one senses an arrhythmia, increases aortic, left atrial and left ventricular pressures. It’s a temporising measure before definitive treatment of the arrhythmia that can only be performed by cooperative, conscious patients. There are periodic stories, often on social media, instructing members of the public to perform cough CPR, in order to ‘survive a heart attack when alone’. In these reports, ‘heart attack’ is used erroneously in place of ‘cardiac arrest’. In the other hand, a precordial thump is typically described as a single, firm impact delivered to the lower half of the sternum with the ulnar side of the fist from approximately 20 cm.
These
alternative techniques may possibly be currently used by healthcare
professionals or lay rescuers, in either the in- or out-of-hospital setting.
They may delay or be used as an alternative to chest compressions as part of ‘standard CPR’. The systematic review we bring
today, published by a group of researchers from the University of Warwick on
behalf of the ILCOR BLS Task Force, analyzes the studies regarding to these subjects,
and concludes that none of them improves survival to hospital discharge. And
also that precordial thump, if used, shouldn’t delay the onset of the chest
compressions. “Cough CPR” can be attempted, also if doesn’t cause delays in the
definitive treatment, in specific patients in monitored settings at the onset
of a potential lethal arrhytmia. Download link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ck0AyKnSLeazAadF0QtWunJRMNqkRmNY/view?usp=sharing

Asincronías paciente-ventilador
Patient-ventilator asynchrony (PVA) is a mismatch between the patient, regarding time, flow, volume, or pressure demands of the patient respiratory system, and the ventilator, which supplies such demands, during mechanical ventilation (MV). PVA might be due to factors related to the patient, to the ventilator, or both, and its incidence rates are quite high.The article we bring today, published by four Brazilian physicians, reviews the literature on the types and causes of PVA, as well as the methods used in its evaluation, its potential implications in the recovery process of critically ill patients, and, last but not least, strategies for its resolution.
