@charlot_summers Thanks @charlot_summers! Lovely day out with the family who have had their fill of ceremony in Latin, watching the punts navigate the Cam and ice cream 😀☀️

Elevated ferritin, mediated by IL-18 is associated with systemic inflammation and mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) thorax.bmj.com/content/79/3/2… @drpujamehta1 @msh_manu @charlot_summers @ceciliaokane

Research in the United Kingdom and the United States shows a median tidal volume >8 mL/kg predicted body weight was associated with worse patient outcomes. Read more in the February @journal_CHEST issue: hubs.la/Q02kq5Qv0 #MedEd #MedTwitter

@charlot_summers @accpchest Glad to see this work published. Grateful for the input and guidance from co-authors @drstevok @AriErcole @charlot_summers and the Reviewers from @accpchest who provided helpful suggestions to improve our message 👍

Delighted to see this work by the fabulous ⁦@dr_romster⁩ published in ⁦@accpchest⁩ Low Tidal Volume Ventilation Is Poorly Implemented for Patients in North American and United Kingdom ICUs Using Electronic Health Records - CHEST journal.chestnet.org/article/S0012-…

Romit J. Samanta, PhD, joins @journal_CHEST Podcast Moderator, Dominique Pepper, MD, to discuss what factors are associated with adherence to low tidal volume ventilation in the United Kingdom and North America. hubs.la/Q02jnKZG0 #MedEd #JournalCHEST #MedTwitter

Do also have a listen to this podcast featuring @dr_romster talking about his newly published work:

Interesting study in the prognostic role of ferritin in ARDS. Whether blocking IL18 would provide a meaningful benefit in survival is an intriguing question, esp in situations where most of the time you feel like you dont have a lot to offer other than supporting measures.

If you asked me about greatest change over the 40 years I worked in the NHS I would say the loss of consultant autonomy. The horrifying story of the baby-murders at Chester and the management’s refusal to listen to the doctors is a ghastly culmination of this process.

@TharushaGunawa4 This patient needs “inotropes” (no, they need a vasopressor- god I am such a bore)

From accessing new resources and training, to securing precious focus time for research, Dr Romit Samanta @dr_romster at @HLRI_Cambridge talks about the benefits of partnering with industry on a clinical fellowship, in our new blog: orlo.uk/OUPCh

@MedCrisis Alpha-2 receptors will chill you out and slow everything down (too much -> asystole). Dexmedetomidine is your giga Chad home boy (is this the correct terminology?)

Oh god, just made the traumatic realisation that the most alpha organ there is, the heart, is actually a beta (receptor) cuck. So what does this mean? That when it comes to the body the alpha chad is actually the anal sphincter? Bronchiolar smooth muscle? Are you kidding me?!

@bykatewomersley I open each Teams meeting link in a new, private mode Chrome window. Otherwise I end up in a Teams loop of doom.

wtf Rishi why

Could AI take the stress out of generating assessments for future ARCPs? Although #ChatGPT3 is clearly not a TIVA enthusiast
