You are in a busy community ED, getting your 🍑 kicked trying to drink from a firehose. You have a patient in septic shock. In addition to fluids, you are giving peripheral vasopressors. Do you *actually* need to start an arterial line, or can you get by with cuff measurements? A prospective observational study published last week of 1852 critically ill adults says yes. There was a mean difference of 6mmHg between the cuff estimated MAP and the A-line. Things that threw off the measurements: -Very low MAPs -Higher BMI -Advanced age journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/08… #emergency #emergencymedicine #foam #foamed #foamcc #army #armymedicine #armyemdoc #meded #icu #criticalcare #shock #resuscitation #research #data #medx #medtwitter

BREAKING: GUILTY is the verdict for Robert Solis- the coward who shot & killed my friend,but more importantly a beloved member of our community- Deputy Sandeep Dhaliwal. Below is a pic of my post 3 yrs ago when he was killed on duty. Today I hope his family finds some peace.❤️🕊

I am an emergency physician at Parkland Hospital, the busiest emergency department in the country. I have had ZERO physical assaults by patients on any ED healthcare workers in SEVEN YEARS while I was working. It CAN be done and is NOT part of the job. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
