What do people think about some sort of "POCUS on call" service? I'm thinking a practitioner with advanced multimodality skills who could respond to requests for POCUS from multiple hospital departments. Anyone know of anything like this that exists?

I mean, I'm pleased that clinicians "beat" #AI - but this kind of study totally misses the point of medical exams. We examine doctors by written exam as only one of many assessment types, on the (usually valid) assumption that it predicts real-world performance. 1/ bmjopen.bmj.com/content/14/1...

🔥 FDA just *rejected* full approval for Adnexxa 🔥 likely due to increased thrombosis risk in ANEXA-I trial IMHO the best strategy is to keep this off your hospital's formulary (thereby avoiding endless circular debates about Adnexxa vs PCC) firstwordpharma.com/story/5921956 #EMIMCC

Fresh blog: the ADAPT and SCREEN trials are full of sound & fury, signifying little 🤷‍♂️ Sepsis screens & procal-based ABX duration are highly context-dependent interventions. Effects will vary depending on baseline usual care. 🤷‍♂️ They lack generalizability. emcrit.org/pulmcrit/ada... #EMIMCC

Interesting. The best study I can see looking at this is www.obstetanesthesia.com/article/S095... Increased dose dependant risk of Fetal bradycardia with intrathecal opioids. Postulates theories beyond maternal hypotension for Fetal bradycardia.

Are combined spinal-epidurals better than labour epidurals? Are anaesthetists who do not universally adopt CSEs disadvantaging patients? Universal use of CSE would likely: ⬆️ burden of PDPH morbidity ⬆️ risk of fetal bradycardia & maternal pruritus #ObGynSky #AnSky buff.ly/41rbYJs

If the LV of the patient with sepsis is «hyperdynamic» when on noradrenaline, then EF dropps and the LV looks poorly when vasopressin is added, but recovers to normal with dobutamine, you likely haven’t «uncovered hidden LV dysfunction» or septic cardiomyopathy. #emimcc #pocus #echofirst 1/

People often talk about the time critical nature of sepsis. But it may surprise you to hear that the evidence to support “early” antibiotics actually isn't a settled debate. Why is that? The key question is “early in relation to what”? 🧵 1/n
