| CURRENTS: Consent for Brain Death Determination - the ends justify the means... or it does not. | 03 Jul 2024 | 00:21:57 | |
The purpose of informed consent, as it exists now, is primarily to maintain patient autonomy, but additional benefits include the protection of patients, avoidance of fraud, and promotion of rational decisions, amongst others. It is now considered both an ethical and legal obligation which should, at a minimum, always include: 1) the nature of the procedure, 2) the risks and benefits of the procedure, 3) reasonable alternatives, and 4) risks and benefits of alternatives, with an assessment of comprehension of these elements (1). This week Dr Lauren Koffman is joined by Clotilde Balucani, MD and Julia Durrant, MD two of the authors of the recent Currents article Consent for Brain Death Determination - the ends justify the means... or it does not. | |||
| HOT TOPICS: The SWITCH Trial | 26 Jun 2024 | 00:31:18 | |
It is unknown whether decompressive craniectomy improves clinical outcome for people with spontaneous severe deep intracerebral haemorrhage. The SWITCH trial aimed to assess whether decompressive craniectomy plus best medical treatment in these patients improves outcome at 6 months compared to best medical treatment alone. The SWITCH Trial has come to an end and the findings published in The Lancet and in this week's HOT TOPICS episode, Dr. Nicholas Morris is joined by two of the lead authors, Prof. Jürgen Beck, MD and Prof. Urs Fischer, MD to discuss the trial. | |||
| HOT TOPICS - ANNEXA-I Trial | 19 Jun 2024 | 01:01:20 | |

| CURRENTS: Innovation for Health Disparities Research in Hemorrhagic Stroke | 05 Jun 2024 | 00:33:31 | |
As clinicians working with patients who have sustained an acute brain injury, we are naturally focused on caring for the injury itself. Until recent years, the clinical severity of brain injury was regarded as the main driver of prognosis and outcomes. However, we are beginning to understand how non-clinical factors, including the social determinants of health (SDOH), contribute to differential risk for all brain injuries including hemorrhagic stroke, and continue to impact our patients' recovery even after injury. In this week's episode Dr Lauren Koffman is joined by Dr Nirupama Yechoor and Dr Rachel Forman to discuss how understanding the complex interplay between clinical and social determinants of health is crucial for clinicians caring for hemorrhagic stroke survivors, not only for recovery and secondary prevention, but also to effectively counsel families on primary prevention. Lauren is also joined by Mike Foster, a member of Yale's Stroke Patient Advisory Board who talks about his experience as a stroke survivor. You can read the Currents article at https://currents.neurocriticalcare.org/Leading-Insights/Article/innovation-for-health-disparities-research-in-hemorrhagic-stroke. Stroke survivors or those who care for loved ones who have had a stroke can sign-up for Dr Yechoor's study at https://rally.massgeneralbrigham.org/study/strokewellbeing. | |||

| CURRENTS: POCUS - A Call to Action | 27 Mar 2024 | 00:18:14 | |
Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is increasingly recognized as an essential skill for critical care providers, intended to enhance clinical assessments to improve patient care. Beyond its adaptation for procedural guidance, bedside ultrasound assessments can provide critical diagnostic information in a timely manner to guide real-time decision making for the acutely ill patient. An accumulating body of evidence has shown that POCUS can improve clinical outcomes and lower medical costs. Over the past decade, there has been widespread adaptation of bedside ultrasonography by various critical care specialties, with respective governing societies issuing guidelines and position statements encouraging the use of POCUS. However, the field of neurocritical care has yet to fully embrace this innovative field, and neurocritical care training programs vary in their efforts to provide accessible, well-structured educational programs for trainees. This week, Dr Lauren Koffman is joined by Dr Thanujaa Subrahmaniam and Dr Judy Ch'ang to discuss the use of POCUS in neurocritical care and the opportunities to extend its application across NCC programs. You can read Dr Ch'ang and Dr Subrahmaniam's Currents article on POCUS in NCC at https://currents.neurocriticalcare.org/Leading-Insights/Article/point-of-care-ultrasound-education-in-neurocritical-care-a-call-to-action. | |||

| CURRENTS: Dr Jacob Yakoby | 07 Feb 2024 | 00:18:51 | |
The pandemic has finally been declared 'over,' though COVID-19 continues to linger. The phenomenon of burnout has been well documented pre-pandemic, in many cases due to understaffing. This was exacerbated by the severe strain of COVID-19 placed on the healthcare system, with nurses leaving in droves post-pandemic. While nursing professional organizations and unions have long advocated for formalized standards around nurse staffing in a variety of care settings, there has traditionally been stiff opposition, particularly from hospitals, nursing homes, and certain healthcare associations. Dr Jordan Yakoby joins Dr Lauren Koffman to discuss nurse staffing - a public health crisis in the making.
