Article Synopsis
  • Survival rates for colorectal cancer (CRC) have improved since 1975 in the US, but specific trends based on cancer stage among different racial and ethnic groups are not well understood.
  • A study using the SEER database from 1992-2018 analyzed 1- and 5-year CRC survival rates among various racial/ethnic subgroups, revealing significant differences in survival outcomes, particularly at the distant stage.
  • While overall survival has improved, American Indian/Alaska Native (AIAN) and non-Hispanic Black (NHB) individuals show the lowest survival probabilities, indicating a need for targeted research on mortality causes in CRC related to race and ethnicity.

Severe accidental hypothermia (AH) accounts for over 1300 deaths/year in the United States. Early extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is recommended for hypothermic cardiac arrest. We describe the use of a rapid-deployment extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (E-CPR) team using intensivist physicians (IPs) as cannulators and report the outcomes of consecutive patients cannulated for ECLS to manage cardiac arrest due to AH.

Introduction: The use of transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) by intensivist physicians (IPs) and emergency physicians (EPs) in critically ill patients is increasing in the intensive care unit, emergency department, and prehospital environments. Coagulopathy and thrombocytopenia are common in critically ill patients. The risk of performing TEE in these patients is unknown.
