This is according to a worldwide REMAP CAP Trial which has also been trialled here in Ireland. Professor Alistair Nichol, Chair of Critical Care Medicine in UCD and the Director of the Irish Critical Care- Clinical Trails Network and Consultant in St Vincent’s Hospital, Dublin is behind the Irish end of the trial he joined us on the show.
