What do people think about some sort of "POCUS on call" service? I'm thinking a practitioner with advanced multimodality skills who could respond to requests for POCUS from multiple hospital departments. Anyone know of anything like this that exists?
Here’s one for #Scanuary: wondered how beekeeping and #POCUS relate? Chap11 in #Scars&Stains explores pearls and pitfalls of POCUS in a seemingly dissimilar parallel.

The Association of Anaesthetists have published new guidelines on blood components & their alternatives!
Tranexamic acid has been proven to ⬇️ bleeding in most surgical settings.
But what dose of TXA should you use in different clinical contexts?

#hr2025 will be an absolutely excellent event.
I’m looking forward to joining in and talking about ventilation, ECMO, and POCUS.
It would be great to see as many of you there as possible.

I mean, I'm pleased that clinicians "beat" #AI - but this kind of study totally misses the point of medical exams.
We examine doctors by written exam as only one of many assessment types, on the (usually valid) assumption that it predicts real-world performance.

Congrats Gillian!
🔥 FDA just *rejected* full approval for Adnexxa 🔥
likely due to increased thrombosis risk in ANEXA-I trial
IMHO the best strategy is to keep this off your hospital's formulary (thereby avoiding endless circular debates about Adnexxa vs PCC)

It’s becoming an increasingly relevant topic that were debating regularly in the CICU. Should we stop SGLT2i in critically ill decompensated heart failure? When should we start? #cccsky #emimcc #cardiosky
Annals of Internal Medicine: Heterogeneity of Sepsis Presentations and Mortality Rates
🦠We call a lot of things “sepsis”
🔎Our #AnnalsofIM study examined how broad this grab bag really is
⚠️Among ~75,000 patients with sepsis, we found remarkably wide spectrum of presentations & outcomes across infection source & organ dysfunction patterns

As an isolated study, I would take a transduced CVP any day. IVC is useful as part of a VExUS assessment looking at venous congestion at organ level which can be more useful than a CVP alone. And obviously when there isn’t a CVC present…
Really enjoy your episodes!

Fresh blog: the ADAPT and SCREEN trials are full of sound & fury, signifying little
🤷♂️ Sepsis screens & procal-based ABX duration are highly context-dependent interventions. Effects will vary depending on baseline usual care.
🤷♂️ They lack generalizability.

Interesting. The best study I can see looking at this is www.obstetanesthesia.com/article/S095...
Increased dose dependant risk of Fetal bradycardia with intrathecal opioids. Postulates theories beyond maternal hypotension for Fetal bradycardia.
Are combined spinal-epidurals better than labour epidurals?
Are anaesthetists who do not universally adopt CSEs disadvantaging patients?
Universal use of CSE would likely:
⬆️ burden of PDPH morbidity
⬆️ risk of fetal bradycardia & maternal pruritus
