New SCCM Guidelines: Rapid Sequence Intubation, Recognizing Critical Illness, and Glycemic Control

Controversies and practice variations exist related to pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic emergency airway management during rapid sequence intubation in critically ill adult patients. Guidelines were developed to provide current, evidence-based recommendations to guide clinical practice. This session, recorded on Sunday, January 21, at SCCM's 2024 Critical Care Congress, discussed the evidence-based recommendations to guide clinicians and institutional leaders in implementing processes for their rapid response system to improve patient outcomes. The session also highlighted key topics in the 2024 Glycemic Control Guideline for Adults and Pediatrics and new PICO statements relative to the 2012 Insulin Infusion Guideline.
