    Design: This quasi-experimental study included pre/postintervention point-prevalence surveys in July 2019 and June 2020, respectively. The retrospective cohort included HCT/HM patients with
    Setting: Adult HCT/HM unit at an academic center.
    Participants: This study included consenting HCT/HM patients on the unit at the time of the point-prevalence surveys. HCT/HM patients with
    Methods: A quality improvement intervention targeting WWD sites was conceived and implemented on a HCT/HM unit. Pre and postintervention colonization samples were obtained from patients and environmental sites, cultivated on selective media, then characterized by susceptibility testing. Whole-genome sequencing and phylogenetic analysis were performed on select isolates. The impact of the intervention on colonization and BSI was evaluated, as was relatedness among isolates.
    Results: Although colonization of WWD sites with meropenem-nonsusceptible
    Conclusions: An intervention targeting WWD sites on a HCT/HM unit had a meaningful impact on meropenem-nonsusceptible

    Abstract Venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation [VV-ECMO] has gained increasing notoriety during the COVID-19 pandemic as a salvation therapy for fulminant respiratory failure. Various configurations can present unique challenges in management. For instance, the ProtekDuo cannula is a 29Fr to 31Fr dual-lumen cannula inserted by way of the right internal jugular vein that allows for right atrium to pulmonary artery bypass with an attached oxygenator, essentially resulting in VV-ECMO. Understanding that these different configurations inevitably dictate the types of complications that can arise during the circuit implantation and management is imperative. However, in a hemodynamically unstable patient, time or resources may not permit standard maneuvers for management. In conclusion, we present an innovative, percutaneous approach which allowed the restoration of flow and oxygenation in a decompensating ProtekDuo patient without having to explant/disconnect the circuit or implant a new VV-ECMO circuit.

    Abstract Acute pulmonary embolism [PE] in the setting of hemodynamic instability and right ventricular strain is a complex presentation and typically is associated with high mortality rates. Prompt recognition and early intervention are critical to the survival of these patient. In such cases, current guidelines recommend use of systemic thrombolytics, along with as needed cardiopulmonary support. If contraindications are present, mechanical thrombectomy is advised. However, guidelines poorly define the next steps in intervention if mechanical thrombectomy were to fail. We present such a scenario and the methods implored to successful remove clot burden. We add to the literature, use of catheter directed thrombolysis at a designated 2 mg/h rate as a form of emergent intervention in failed mechanical thrombectomy.

    Abstract Background: Nausea and vomiting are common causes for prolonged postoperative length of hospital stay (LOS) in children. A preoperative carbohydrate load may reduce postoperative nausea and vomiting by improving the perioperative metabolic state. The aim of this study was to determine if a preoperative carbohydrate-containing drink would lead to an improvement in the perioperative metabolic state and consequently reduce the incidence of postoperative nausea, vomiting and LOS in children undergoing day-case surgical procedures.
    Method: Randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial involving children aged 4 to 16-years undergoing day-case surgical procedures. Patients were randomised to receive a carbohydrate-containing drink or a placebo. During the induction of anaesthesia, a venous blood gas, and blood glucose and ketone levels were measured. Postoperatively, the incidence of nausea, vomiting, and LOS were documented.
    Results: 120 patients were randomised with 119/120 (99.2%) undergoing analysis. Blood glucose level was higher in the carbohydrate group; 5.4 mmol/L [3.3-9.4] versus 4.9 mmol/L [3.6-6.5] (p = 0.01). Blood ketone level was lower in the carbohydrate group; 0.2 mmol/L versus 0.3 mmol/L (p = 0.003). The incidence of nausea and vomiting was not different (p > 0.9 and p = 0.8, respectively). LOS in the carbohydrate group was 26 min shorter than the placebo group (p = 0.02).
    Conclusion: Although a preoperative carbohydrate load may provide a more stable metabolic state at the induction of anaesthesia, we did not find a reduction in postoperative nausea and vomiting. A preoperative carbohydrate load has also minimal effects on the postoperative LOS.
    Type of study: Randomised clinical trial.
