Standing room only at #NCS2024 session on @brain_trauma penetrating #TBI guidelines. Long awaited with useful algorithms including tool for assessing futility. Most importantly, advocates for aggressive surgical treatment and acknowledges challenges with prognostication.

RT @kelseyel_: Curious what concentration mannitol those who voted yes use? Mannitol 20% & 25% both higher osmolarity versus 3% NaCl 🤔

@neurocritical 4 of 9 PROPHY-VAP ICUs routinely screened for ESBL-producing bacteria on admission and discharge #NCSTJC

@neurocritical Do you differentiate between ventilator-associated pneumonia vs tracheobronchitis? 🤔 #NCSTJC

@neurocritical The PROPHY-VAP ICUs implemented preventive measures including: 🔹HOB elevation 🔹Monitoring tracheal cuff pressure 🔹Oral care 🔹Changing filters/circuits only when necessary 🔹Early enteral feeding 🔹Stress ulcer prophylaxis None of the sites used SOD/SDD #NCSTJC

Do you prefer noninvasive vs invasive sampling? 🫁 Utilize biomarkers such as procalcitonin? 🩸 Use clinical decision tools like the Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS)? 📋 #NCSTJC

RT @neurocritical: #NCSTJC Q2: Do you use prolonged IV antibiotics to prevent ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP)? 

@KeatonSmetana @neurocritical We also use chlorhexidine as part of our VAP prevention bundle #NCSTJC

Kicking off #NCSTJC with a poll ⬇️ 🔹Where do you practice if you use SOD/SDD for VAP prevention? 🔹If you don't use SOD/SDD, why not?

#NCSTJC on @ClaireDahyot and colleagues' PROPHY-VAP trial is starting! Join us for the conversation on ventilator-associated pneumonia prevention practices in brain injury patients
