Ou immunologists are ready to go with hands on activities for #FUTURES2022 school research fair! 🦠🧫🔬@vincrit @gregor_mi @FUTURES_NIGHT

1/ We have a new preprint out that provides promising evidence using genetic data that IL-6 inhibition (e.g. with drugs like tocilizumab) might work in sepsis, like it did in COVID-19. We think this deserves a randomised trial: medrxiv.org/content/10.110…

Really excited that we are live for #STARAnnualConference22 in a hybrid format, with excellent speakers from around the country talking to our trainees in the Severn Deanery! @NatalieBlencowe @RonelleMouton @CP_Newell @JBC13Mar1967_ @katie_samuel_ @drrichstrong @AnnaMRatcliffe

Day 1 of our ICU Roof Terrace Garden 🏥🪴 The area has been cordoned off outside ED to enable equipment etc to be lifted up to the (middle) terrace. This is a long time coming and extremely exciting 😊 Benefits for patients, their relatives and staff ☀️💙@NBT_ICU @SuperSouthmead

@M_L_Ridley @britsocimm @bsicongress @BristolUni I think it’s cocomilla - cocomilla.com

Congratulations to our #BSI21 @bsicongress Passport for Prizes winner Aravind Ramesh @vincrit from @BristolUni who gets to take home the fabulous #Tcell watercolour print! 🎨 Thank you to everyone who stopped by the BSI stand to say hello - we loved meeting you all! 🤗

Great clear infographic @ICS_updates One to keep up the sleeve when someone asks why ICU occupancy hasn’t increased Well done all ICU staff Remarkable

Preprint systematic review into RCTs of #SAH management by our #ICU research team #FOAMcc tinyurl.com/4qpe5nut Analysis of fragility index suggests the evidence we use to guide current mx is weak. Should all critical care trials discuss their fragility index?? @vincrit

Salam, for the next few days we will be releasing some myth busting videos filmed by some of our MDC doctors. Here’s the first one: Myth #1 - Was the vaccine rushed? @MuslimWales @BritishIMA

Well done to Dr Scott Grier, Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine & Anaesthesia at @NorthBristolNHS. Dr Grier is the South West winner in the The Excellence in Health Care Award category of the #NHSParlyAwards, nominated by MP @darrenpjones

Also, lopinavir/ritonavir is no longer available for randomization, after a declaration of futility (OR of 0.67, with a 99.9% probability of futility) [...]

On the recommendation of the data safety and monitoring board, @REMAP_CAP is declaring efficacy of #tocilizumab with an OR of 1.87 for benefit on a combination of survival and length of time patients received organ support in ICU, compared with standard care [...]

FYI Y'all in the @SwCritical network Link and phone number for this new transfer service. Well done @drsgrier et al for getting what promises to be a fantastic resource going

Please help spread the word to Severn trainee groups/whatsapp. Thanks @brisgasdoc @Doc_JimD @katie_samuel_ @drkpass @vincrit @AlexanderLJones @HighamMatt @m_j_aldridge @DrMarkEveleigh @DorranceMark @natclairwood @simonwebster74 @SASWRorg @Am_Briggs @rachelcjones @drfrocester

We have had multiple warnings from Nipah in 1999 to SARS-1, H5N1, Ebola, MERS, Zika, Chik, H1N1 & others. Many common drivers-Ecological change, changes in human:animal interactions, urbanisation, travel & trade. And in times of neglect of public health & geopolitical tensions.

An educational resource I made for respecting ethnic names. I thought I’d create a shareable resource so that it can help people and empower.

UK data shows 73% survival to decannulation from ecmo for #COVID #Euroelso

It was an honour to take this #rehablegend outside for the first time in 41 days following his admission to @NBT_ICU with #covid19. He loved every minute of it, as did we! @kate_allchorne @SaraMillin @valentiencj (pt consented to posting pic)

After working a night shift @NBT_ICU I was upset by the strain looking after a COVID +ve patient in isolation was having on our nurses. I wanted to do something to help and thought of #facialsforfacemasks (a small gift of a skincare product, chocolate treat and drink) for each
