Love your take on the marginal utility of studies in critical care, under the guise of Evidence Based medicine, where neither genetic nor environmental variables can be sufficiently determined or measured.
Yet we seem to skip over or ignore the big question.
What is the purpose of critical care if the original resuscitation efforts fail.
As a specialist in CCM, and an avid medical historian, I would like to hear more opinions about a medical art that was really born out of MASH units in the Korean War.
That’s the main point of our book. We trace back the history of critical to the early 60s, discuss what went wrong, and how Covid patients lives ultimately hanged on the art and skill of a bedside intensivist in the absence of evidence-based approaches.
That was an unique moment in the history of critical care. We could see the clash between real bedside life support and the attempts to turn critical care into EBM.
Please give it a read. It is linked after the text.
