A systematic review of cost-effectiveness of treating out of hospital cardiac arrest and the implications for resource-limited health systems Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a prevalent condition with high mortality and poor outcomes even in settings where extensive emergency care resources are available. Interventions to address OHCA have had limited success, with survival rates below 10% in national samples of high-income countries. In resource-limited settings, where scarcity requires careful priority setting, more data is needed to determine the optimal allocation of resources. Review objective is to establish the cost-effectiveness of OHCA care and assess the affordability of interventions across income settings.

Did you know that in Asia alone, there are about 17.7 million #sepsis patients every year with a staggering 23% mortality rate? Sepsis is a leading cause of death in hospitals, and by detecting sepsis early, we are able to reduce the hospital mortality rate by 24%. Join us in this second part of our Baxter iSEE sepsis webinar on 4th July 2024 where we have a panel of international healthcare experts from different disciplines share their insights on how to handle early sepsis detection, escalate sepsis management, and discuss strategies to optimize fluid management.

In an intriguing subanalysis of the REVIVED-BCIS2 trial just published in JACC: Heart Failure, PCI did not improve the hierarchical composite of death, hospitalization for HF and health status at 2 years. Notably, PCI improved KCCQ-OSS at 6 months but this benefit was not sustained to 1- or 2-year follow-up https://lnkd.in/e6r-zDEn

A heat wave is continuing through the United States. With the extreme heat and climbing temperatures, you may be seeing more patients in your urgent care or ED with heat-related illness. Our team at EB Medicine wanted to share several different resources on how to care for these patients in this difficult time. Our interactive Clinical Pathway on Heat-Related Illness will walk you through the decision-making process and evidence-based best practices. Stay safe out there! https://loom.ly/e2gItYA Another great resource is this Heat and Health Risk Factor Screening Questionnaire from the CDC: https://loom.ly/vmCLoo8. The CDC also has a quick start guide for Clinicians on Heat and Health, a HeatRisk Tool, and more! #HeatWave #SummerHeat #PatientCare #HeatRelatedIllness #HeatIllness #ClinicalPathways #Antibiotics #EBMedicine #UrgentCare #ER #EmergencyRoom #EmergencyMedicine #Summer #Heat

🥸 This overview concluded that most hospitals reported having a sepsis protocol in place. However, mostly smaller hospitals do not have an automated system to prompt for the compliance of time sensitive aspects of sepsis care. We can help improve your sepsis bundle compliance and address diagnostic uncertainty with the FDA cleared SeptiCyte RAPID test.
