Health equity and implementation science in heart, lung, blood, and sleep-related research: emerging themes from the 2018 Saunders-Watkins Leadership Workshop.
This article discusses the key themes from a 2-day workshop that was held at the National Institutes of Health in May 2018 to promote health equity and implementation science in heart, lung, and sleep-related research. This inaugural workshop was named the Saunders-Watkins Leadership Workshop. Recommendations are offered for the future direction of this research.

Design and rationale of the B-lines lung ultrasound guided emergency department management of acute heart failure (BLUSHED-AHF) pilot trial.
Medical treatment for acute heart failure (AHF) has not changed substantially over the last four decades. Emergency department (ED)-based evidence for treatment is limited. The investigators discuss BLUSHED-AHF, a multicenter, randomized, pilot trial designed to test whether a strategy of care that utilizes a LUS-driven treatment protocol outperforms usual care for reducing pulmonary congestion in the ED.

Hemodynamic impact of oxygen desaturation during tracheal intubation among critically ill children with cyanotic and noncyanotic heart disease.
The objective of this study was to determine a level of oxygen desaturation associated with increased risk of tracheal intubation events in children in a pediatric or cardiac ICU with cyanotic and noncyanotic heart disease. Oxygen desaturation was measured by a fall in pulse oximetry from baseline after pre-oxygenation. The primary outcome was occurrence of hemodynamic tracheal intubation associated events defined as cardiac arrest, hypotension, or dysrhythmia. Results indicate that oxygen desaturation by 30% or more is associated with increased odds for adverse hemodynamic events, after adjusting for confounders. Oxygen desaturation was observed more often in children with cyanotic than those with noncyanotic heart disease, but hemodynamic tracheal intubation associated event rates were similar.
