Gastrointestinal bleeding is a frequent and potentially life-threatening presentation in the ED. With CT angiography increasingly being used as a first-line diagnostic tool, are we improving detection or simply overusing imaging? Join Dr. Guillaume as she discusses this recent JAMA Network Open study examining trends in CTA utilization for GI bleeding and whether rising scan rates are truly leading to better diagnostic yield.

When Lung-Protective Ventilation Isn’t Brain-Protective? A Look at the PROLABI Trial
Lung-protective ventilation (LPV), characterized by low tidal volumes and appropriate PEEP, is a cornerstone in managing patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). However, its application in patients with severe acute brain injury raises concerns. The potential for lung protective ventilation to increase intracranial pressure due to hypercapnia and elevated PEEP levels necessitates a closer examination of its safety and efficacy in this unique patient population.
