Neuro Resus

James Day and Olusegun Olusanya interview Duncan Young from Oxford about his work and the High Frequency OSCillation in ARDS (OSCAR) Trial.

Alex Rosenberg is an intensivist with more of an obsession with all things cardiac, but his experience in a large neuro ICU made him well placed to discuss the interaction between cerebral perfusion pressure, vasopressors and cardiac output. This is an important neuro topic that is relevant to anyone who looks after patients with injured brains.

This is sadly the last talk from BCC3, but don't get too depressed - you can always join us this year in Cairns, or wait for those talks to come out on ICN, and there's always the torrent of superb free media that is flowing out from the smacc conference.

Matthew MacParlin wraps up his TBI series by talking about prognostication as well as ICU management of neuroprophylaxis and seizure prophylaxis.

Always controversial, always entertaining, the fearsome but loveable Geordie Stuart Lane gives an excellent summary of a core ICU topic: managing out of hospital cardiac arrests.

We're nearly at the end of the BCC3 series - and in only a month we're doing it all again, this time in tropical Cairns - come and join us.

Matthew MacPartlin continues his four part series on traumatic brain injury with a focus on how to manage these patients in ICU.

Oli Flower presents a case of headache with an unusual diagnosis. Hopefully thought provoking. The slides can be seen separately on www.intensivecarenetwork.com and the links to relevant resources can be found there too. This was presented at last years BCC in Daydream island
