1/ A very neat pilot study from @DrNTheodore's team (thank you!) and certainly something worth to be investigated as a multicentre trial! Similar concept to the ongoing @DiscusTrial and both may go hand-in-hand. #MorningPaper @e1v1m1 @BASStrainees sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Absolutely! Just trying to demonstrate that however good a paper is, it looks at a generalised population and not individual cases. No 2 cases are the same. Don't forget medical treatments (MAP>85mmHg). Also, when it comes to possible cord oedema, randomise into @DiscusTrial!
