Summary: In this study, a multimodal machine learning approach was developed to predict the onset of new vital sign abnormalities in emergency department patients with normal initial vital signs. The method combines standard triage data with features derived from continuous physiologic monitoring, achieved through conventional signal processing and deep learning techniques. The models outperformed those using only standard triage data in predicting new tachycardia, hypotension, and hypoxia, demonstrating the potential to improve triage and predict clinical deterioration.

Summary: The increasing use of MCS in advanced heart failure patients has led to a greater need for end-of-life management, including MCS device withdrawal and advance care planning. Preparedness planning and palliative care services are important in ensuring a smooth transition to the end of life. Ethical dilemmas can complicate end-of-life care, and withdrawal/deactivation should follow a set protocol that addresses psychosocial/spiritual needs and patient comfort.

Summary: Due to the increasing medical complexity of patients, heterogeneity of treatment effects in broad clinical syndromes, and significant competing risks for morbidity and mortality, future clinical trials in the CICU are likely to benefit from innovative approaches to trial design, analysis, and execution, such as incorporating novel trial endpoints, Bayesian analysis strategies, trial networks and clinical registries, adaptive platform trials, and comprehensive research programs. It will be crucial for the authors as a field to articulate priorities for future research and embrace these novel techniques that will ultimately help take better care of patients in the contemporary CICU.
