ICU-PAUSE: Patient Safety, Diagnostic Errors and Vulnerability to Implicit Bias at Transitions of Care
Video CME MOC
The transition of patients from the intensive care unit (ICU) to the hospital wards is an inherently high-risk time and communication around these transitio

The Management of Mild Pulmonary Hypertension in Clinical Practice
The definition of pulmonary hypertension (PH) has been revised recently, with the mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) threshold (assessed by right heart catheterization) reduced from ≥25mm Hg to >20mm Hg.

The Puzzle of Marijuana Use and Forced Vital Capacity
In study after study, marijuana use has been found to be associated with increased forced vital capacity (FVC). This is puzzling, because marijuana is commonly consumed by inhalation of its smoke, and smoke exposure of any kind is not generally considered a cause of increased FVC.

Lung Disease and Social Justice: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease as a Manifestation of Structural Violence
Lung health, the development of lung disease, and how well a person with lung disease is able to live all depend on a wide range of societal factors. These systemic factors that adversely affect people and cause injustice can be thought of as “structural violence.”

Electrical Impedance Tomography to Monitor Hypoxemic Respiratory Failure
Hypoxemic respiratory failure is one of the leading causes of mortality in intensive care. Frequent assessment of individual physiological characteristics and delivery of personalized mechanical ventilation (MV) settings is a constant challenge for clinicians caring for these patients.

Reverse Triggering During Controlled Ventilation: From Physiology to Clinical Management
Reverse triggering dyssynchrony is a frequent phenomenon recently recognized in sedated critically ill patients under controlled ventilation. It occurs in at least 30–55% of these patients and often occurs in the transition from fully passive to assisted mechanical ventilation.

Racial Disparity in Oxygen Saturation Measurements by Pulse Oximetry: Evidence and Implications
The pulse oximeter is a ubiquitous clinical tool used to estimate blood oxygen concentrations. However, decreased accuracy of pulse oximetry in patients with dark skin tones has been demonstrated since as early as 1985.
