Episode 44 – Tranexamic Acid in Non-Cardiac Surgery and Post-ICU Syndrome

Welcome back Rounds Table Listeners!

We are back today with our Classic Rapid Fire Podcast!

This week, podcast guests Dr. Emily Hughes and Dr. Justin Boyle discuss two recent papers – one, exploring the use of tranexamic acid in preventing perioperative bleeding in non-cardiac surgery, and the second investigating the relationship between socioeconomic status and the development of post-ICU syndrome. Two papers, here we go!

1. Association Between Socioeconomic Disadvantage and Decline in Function, Cognition, and Mental Health After Critical Illness Among Older Adults (0:00 – 11:55).

2. Tranexamic Acid in Patients Undergoing Noncardiac Surgery (11:55 – 20:15).

And for the Good Stuff:

• Scientists discover wild baby parrots babble like human babies (20:15 – 21:47).
