The emergency physician (EP) is typically the first physician to resuscitate the critically ill patient. Given the continued shortage of ICU beds, EPs are often tasked with providing intensive care long beyond the initial resuscitation phase. Boarding of critically ill patients is associated with increased length of stay, increased adverse events, ED staff burnout, decreased patient and family satisfaction, and increased mortality. As such, it is imperative for the EP to be knowledgeable about recent literature in resuscitation and critical care, so that critically ill ED patients continue to receive the most up-to-date evidence-based care. The speakers in this plenary session will discuss important articles from the recent critical care and resuscitation literature that pertain to the care of critically ill ED patients.

Learning Objectives:

Identify important articles from the recent critical care and resuscitation literature.
Discuss the incorporation of recent evidence into the resuscitation and management of select critically ill ED patients.
Discuss the use of noninvasive ventilation for patients with acute respiratory failure.
