Author: Nick Hatch, MD
Educational Pearls:
- Recent study argues that CHF patients receiving furosemide within 60 minutes of arrival had a lower in-hospital mortality than those receiving it after (2.3% vs. 6.0%, p=0.002).
- Flaw in study is that there were significant baseline differences between groups.
