In heterogeneous syndromes like ARDS and sepsis, I believe we generally are more likely to be able to find what causes iatrogenic harm than actual therapies. #emimcc #critcaresky
In a patient with high-risk pulmonary embolism, but no sign of hypoperfusion, would you start LMWH or UFH? #emimcc #cardisky #cccsky #critcaresky
I'm currently putting together teaching on RRT and I realise we have a habit in medical education of teaching indications for a therapy before explaining the therapy.
That's (usually) the wrong way round. Indications make more sense *after* you've explained the therapy.

Incidentally this also applies to a potassium of 3.2.

You have a patient with a subclavian CVC, and you discover a large clot on it. You start anticoagulation of course, but when do you dare remove it? Will you wait until the clot is resolved? #emimcc #critcaresky #ansky
Just reminded myself of this paper. Thought it was really fascinating.
I guess the one that comes to mind is landmark CVCs for both #AnSky #CritCareSky.
Have done 4 (2 IJ, 2 SC) w/ supervision. SC emphysema would be the indication I'd think of (though I don't do major trauma).
100% going to suggest 6-day courses of antibiotics on the micro ward round

I'm kind of glad PHEM is so popular because outside is where bears are. I've never seen a bear on the inside of a hospital. I don't even like it when it's cold in theatre or on ICU. Very happy to do all of my medical practice under a roof.

Dear fellow anaesthetic and ICU consultants/specialty docs/specialists who do SLEs for LLLP,
Agree the level of entrustment BEFORE the trainee sends you the thing. It is worse than useless if it is not high enough.

I think the solution to the lack of interaction on #MedSky #AnSky and #CritCareSky might be, to put it bluntly, hashtag the fuck out of it.
Got a problem? Or ten? The folks at #CritCareSky have got you covered.

You can head over to #CritCareSky to follow everything happening at #CHEST2025, the @accpchest.bsky.social hosted conference happening in Chicago, IL!

It's in an #AnSky journal but it's as much an #ICUSky #CritCareSky debate. The issue of making "quant" v "qual" decisions at the end of life is a fascinating one.
If anybody wants to pay my salary for a year, I could happily do a research project into this.
So question for #AnSky #CritCareSky #ICUSky.
Several places I've worked have insisted that peripheral pressors need to be given on a dedicated cannula. Is there any evidence that running crystalloids alongside pressors is unsafe?
The rationale given to me is that if you give a fluid bolus, it
