A Canadian community advancing
CANCARE connects clinicians, researchers and trainees to improve care for critically ill cardiovascular patients through collaboration, shared learning and research.
Latest evidence
Concise summaries, clinical context and links to the original research.
Clinical takeaway The pooled bleeding result does not establish equivalence between anticoagulant strategies after cardiac surgery. The wide confidence interval leaves clinically important differences unresolved.
Clinical takeaway Survival after resuscitative thoracotomy was uncommon and varied with cause, arrest duration, and residual physiology. These observational findings do not establish a causal advantage for emergency department intervention or a definitive arrest-duration cutoff.
Clinical takeaway ECMO was associated with better adjusted survival outcomes, but the unadjusted mortality comparison was inconclusive. These observational findings do not establish superiority or safety over thrombolysis.
