Having been called the poop police on rounds before, this resonates with me.

I should add I unfortunately know this because Wisconsin managed to lose 4 of them while I attended for undergrad/pharmacy school

Agree about SEC. Historically the Rose Bowl has always been played in late afternoon time slot. My understanding is that allows for parade preceding the game and coincides with the picturesque sunset. I think this is the first year they moved up from 5PM to 4PM start to accommodate TV schedule.

Just got off the phone with AZ’s medical information team who also confirmed the 12/22 date and “withdrawal for commercial reasons”

I don’t have experience using it, but terlipressin was approved by the FDA in September 2022 for treatment of HRS in adults with rapid reduction in kidney function and has been on our formulary for a couple years now.

My understanding is that it can be an alternative to Golytely for bowel prep in patients who cannot tolerate the large fluid volume. Haven’t actually seen it used, but I do know it is an option on our formulary.

“Fertilization President” Trump Just Gutted Fertility Research An entire research team at the CDC has been dismissed, thanks to Donald Trump’s cuts.

Despite dubbing himself the “Father of IVF,” Donald Trump actually WILL NOT be funding federal infertility research.

Trump has fired an entire infertility research team at the CDC.

We used PRN bolus vec 10 mg or roc 50-100 mg for vent dyssynchrony. Usually trialed a couple doses before committing to a drip. Really depended on patient specific scenario, but anecdotally I think it’s worthwhile strategy for some folks to reduce drug exposure.

This is common practice for trauma patients at both hospitals I have worked at in NC when there are rib fractures. Anecdotally, I think it helps facilitate IS and prevent derecruitment for non-intubated patients. Outside of rib fractures, I don’t see it used routinely.

Great thread, thanks for sharing. I would also add the pharmacokinetics of glycopyrrolate in this situation just make more sense. Pick the drug that will reliably work more quickly instead of choosing a patch that will take up to 24 hours to reach maximum effect.

Hi, all! I’m a critical care pharmacist by training that currently works in public health (and still dabbles a little in clinical pharmacy). Interested in all things CC and ID. Excited to learn from and with you all! #PharmSky
