The PicPod

In this episode of PicPod we speak to David Inwald, the Chief Investigator of the Pressure Study.  This landmark study is looking in to blood pressure targets, randomising critically ill children to normal care, or the 5th centile population blood pressure norm.  We discuss the study, its rationale, and what we might learn. Is a population blood pressure target reasonable, given the great variability in population norms? How do we choose a target? What are the comparators with other studies? What does the adult data show? How about cardiac output monitors, do they have a role?  Much to think about, and we await the results of this study with great interest.
