Background: This study aimed to verify that the modified quick change (mQC) method of syringe exchange in critically ill patients receiving a continuous intravenous norepinephrine infusion is not inferior to the conventional double pumping (DP) method.
Methods: This non-blinded, quasi-randomized, non-inferiority trial was conducted in a single hospital from August 1, 2023 to February 29, 2024. Adult patients aged 18 years or older who were admitted to the emergency ward and received a continuous intravenous norepinephrine infusion were eligible for inclusion.
Background: Earlier administration of intravenous recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rtPA) and mechanical thrombectomy (MT) improves the neurological prognosis of patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS). We introduced a new protocol that includes head and chest computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/ magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) for all patients, which is quite different from previously evaluated protocols. This study aimed to examine whether this protocol could contribute to the prompt therapeutic intervention of AIS.

- - The study analyzed real-world data on extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) for patients experiencing out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) in Japan from 2013 to 2018, focusing on neurological outcomes and complications.
- - Among 1,644 patients, only 14.1% had favorable neurological outcomes at hospital discharge, and the survival rate was 27.2%, with initial shockable rhythms correlating with better outcomes.
- - Complications were reported in 32.7% of patients during ECPR, with bleeding being the most common issue, affecting 16.4% at the cannulation site and 8.5% elsewhere. *
