A Canadian community advancing
CANCARE connects clinicians, researchers and trainees to improve care for critically ill cardiovascular patients through collaboration, shared learning and research.
Latest evidence
Concise summaries, clinical context and links to the original research.
Clinical takeaway This small observational cohort found no statistically significant difference in haemodynamic stability or mortality between dosing groups. The shorter ventilation duration is hypothesis-generating rather than evidence of a causal benefit.
Clinical takeaway The updated CSWG framework stratified in-hospital mortality in registry and external populations. These findings support its potential for severity classification, rather than demonstrating that staging-guided management improves outcomes.
Clinical takeaway This small randomized study suggests a mechanistic advantage for IABP in myocardial oxygen supply-demand balance during VA-ECMO. It does not establish superiority in survival or other patient-centred outcomes.
