Shared Decision Making in Resuscitation Decisions

A Randomized Trial of Shared Decision-Making in Code Status Discussions Becker. NEJM Evidence 2025; doi:10.1056/EVIDoa2400422 Clinical Question In hospitalized adults requiring code status discussions, does a shared decision-making approach (including a checklist and decision aid) compared to usual care increase the proportion of patients choosing a DNR status? Background In-hospital cardiac arrest outcomes are poor (<20% survival; ~40% with neurologic […]

Emergency Department Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta in Trauma Patients With Exsanguinating Hemorrhage

In trauma patients with exsanguinating haemorrhage, does the use of the REBOA (resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta) device with standard care in the emergency department, compared with standard care alone, impact 90-day-mortality?
