33yo M w/2 hrs of CP; computer and AI called it normal. But good old-fashioned HI (human intelligence) called it positive. Kudos to Dr. Mohammad Assiri, dx'd South African Flag sign, 100% D1 blockage, life saved! #foamed

medicine is great at creating unnecessary problems to subsequently solve. medicine: we gonna force you to renew your zoloft script every month for the rest of your life also medicine: WOW we can get a robot to sign the refill requests, THIS IS AMAZING
Andrew Curran@AndrewCurran_

Utah has become the first state to allow AI to renew medical prescriptions with no doctor involved. The company, Doctronic, also secured a malpractice insurance policy for their AI. Their data also shows that their system matches doctors treatment plans 99.2% of the time.

antiseizure meds has a PK/PD profile similar to beta-lactam antibiotics: -efficacy relates to the trough -toxicity relates to the peak so benefit/risk ratio is maximized with smaller, frequent dosing hard to do outside the hospital re: adherence but easy for inpatients

serious question: has there ever been a high-quality RCT that demonstrated clinically meaningful benefits from pulse-dose steroid (e.g., 500-1000 mg/day methylprednisolone) as compared to a moderate dose of steroid (e.g., 1-2 mg/kg/day prednisone)? for *any* disease?

amp-gent-clinda? the 1990s are calling and they want their antibiotics back yes it will work, but we have simpler & less toxic options now you could get the same coverage from a single agent (eg piptazo) with far fewer side effects
caldas92@jpcaldas92

What do you think about the typical combination of ampicillin + gentamycin + clindamycin for G&O infections? I’m not sure about gentamycin as monotherapy for gram negative outside the urinary tract and clindamycin seems unreliable for anaerobes. @BradSpellberg @DrToddLee

In DKA don’t chase the pH /bicarb You need to know when ketones have cleared (via direct measurement or anion gap) Otherwise may end up treating an iatrogenic hyperchloremic acidosis with iv insulin delaying transition to subcut This is why we go on about balanced crystalloid

There's more to shock management than fluids and vasopressors For every type of shock there are important surgical causes to consider which can kill the patient if missed Primary and secondary surveys don't just apply to trauma!

🔥Fresh blog🔥 Hot take on RSI trial of ketamine vs etomidate RSI & EvK trials both show *more* BP instability with ketamine *but* lower mortality with ketamine BP drops with ketamine may relate to less pressor before intubation and/or superior analgesia... #1/2

updating the IBCC chapter on ECMO any recent advances or important articles I should include? please share any recent practice-changing insights you’ve had about ECMO 🙏 (it’s one of the harder chapters to update due to high volume of new research)
