When we see ourselves as resource gatekeepers, the logical next step is that we start making decisions about who is more or less “deserving” of what we can offer, and by extension, who is deserving of our care. This is a short and rapid road to burnout, and the dark side.

A bit surprising but also very interesting. Most notably that our “instructions“ seems not very helpful. Nice graphics. Interpretation is difficult though. A structural damage, would likely have different mechanics. Hard to extrapolate.

after years of arguing about what flavor of inodilator is best for cardiogenic shock, turns out it doesn't actually matter 😂 nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

Cool. Now do placebo. (Am I right that neither of these drugs have been shown to help cariogenic shock in placebo controlled trials?)

Use these numbers and info as a conversation starter. Allow for a lot of uncertainty but don’t let that cloud the overarching point. threadreaderapp.com/thread/1422595…

This video ought to be compulsory viewing for all of us. For ED staff a quick look at the care home transfer information sheet will tell you what the patient likes to be called. Otherwise just ask.

Our SR/NMA on the use of #TTM in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is out in Intensive Care Medicine. With no more major trials planned on this question coming anytime soon, this was needed. A brief thread on our findings, and what they mean for TTM in OHCA: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

So where does this leave us? Well I think we can all agree that the data does not support ROUTINE use of TTM in ALL comatose patients following OHCA. And we can say that deeper temperatures have not translated into better outcomes. New guidelines will likely reflect this.

But there is nuance. I agree with what Benjamin Abella, MD MPhil has said - the population matters. We also cannot ignore the results of HYPERION, in a population so different than what we saw in TTM2. To say "TTM is dead" is premature in my opinion, especially with the 95% CI we show.

It's not just Delta. Two countries with the same time course of Delta dominance yet notable divergence in spread and fatalities

Har aldrig skämts så mycket för att vara svensk. Att Sverige lämnade tolkarna och annan personal som har hjälpt Sverige på plats och skyddat svenska soldaters liv. Att de nu lämnade dem och deras familjer till avrättning. Sverige, hur kan ni leva med er själva.

Lokalisera tolkarna nu? När landet redan har fallit! Det skulle gjorts för minst en månad sedan! Eller varför inte för flera år sedan, och besparat dem allt detta lidande! expressen.se/nyheter/intens…

I'm hopelessly stuck in Kabul with my wife and child. Like myself, hundreds of other journalists are also stuck here. I have an 11—months old daughter. Please pray for her safety.

Excellent Tweetorial on why NOT to diagnose ECG-configuration on cardiac monitors.
