NPO after midnight for a heart cath may soon be outdated business. We don't do it for STEMI patients. Study shows no harm and happier patients tctmd.com/news/no-fastin… #radialfirst #PCI #CardioTwitter #Cardiology #catheterization #NPO

Med schools should not only teach history taking, but also patient redirection.
It's tough, and nuanced...
but "never interrupt a patient" is not the right approach (I'm sure many will be triggered by that statement).
But being a good doctor does not mean...

Is there evidence that shows forcing patients to eat “cardiac” or “renal diet” during their hospitalization improves outcomes?
I am trying to find data on this. often hospital food choices are limited as diets are more restricted, often causing ⬇️ po intake.

And more importantly, the moment you decide to put in the consult to Cardiology, please stop flooding the patient with continuous fluids!

We need to eliminate “pre op clearance” from ALL medical vocabulary We are not God We cannot “clear” anyone for surgery We CAN, after clinical evaluation, provide patients w/ an estimate of perioperative risk, which can be incorporated in shared decision making w/their surgeon

Had an interesting chat with a patient recently which made me think of “shared decision making”. It’s central to the way we practice, but there are limits.
An elderly patient has very severe coronary artery disease. I said there are 3 options we’ll discuss at MDT

LUCAS device works so much better than manual CPR. Persistent VF repeated shock and not getting out of VF (No ROSC), LUCAS generating decent BP despite no organized rhythm. LM-LAD PCI in limited views, 1 shock post PCI = sinus rhythm like magic!!!! #cardiacarrest #CardioTwitter

Why would adenosine, a purine nucleoside, be able to treat supraventricular tachycardias (SVT)?
And why are its effects so short lived (e.g. <2 seconds)?
The answers will change the way you think about this drug.

Makes the point that hypotension is not a requirement for cardiac tamponade. BP can be maintained by peripheral vasoconstriction for a while.
