Reevaluating Early Blood Pressure Targets in Acute Spinal Cord Injury: Insights from a Multicenter Randomized Trial

Reevaluating Early Blood Pressure Targets in Acute Spinal Cord Injury: Insights from a Multicenter Randomized Trial

A recent randomized clinical trial comparing augmented to conventional blood pressure targets in acute spinal cord injury found no improvement in 6-month neurological outcomes, challenging current practices and highlighting risks of higher blood pressure management.

Proportional-Assist Ventilation and Pressure-Support Ventilation: Comparative Impact on Mechanical Ventilation Duration in Critical Care

A comprehensive international trial showed that proportional-assist ventilation (PAV+) does not significantly shorten the time to liberation from mechanical ventilation compared to pressure-support ventilation (PSV) in critically ill adults, with comparable safety and secondary outcomes.
