#CardioNuggets SGLT2 inhibitors aren’t usually started if eGFR is below 20. Why? ⛔️ Low GFR → less glucose in proximal tubule → ↓ efficacy ⚠️ Still, in heart failure, they may help by: 💧 Reducing fluid overload 🛡️ Protecting the kidneys 🏥 Lowering hospitalizations We’re

#CardioNuggets Choosing the right cardiac monitor? 📍Holter (24–48h): For frequent symptoms (e.g. daily palpitations), QTc analysis, AF rate control. 📍Wearable monitor (e.g. Zio, 14d): For intermittent symptoms (e.g. weekly), paroxysmal AF, ectopy. 📍ILR (up to 3 yrs): For

Sugammadex anaphylaxis is uncommon but potentially life-threatening. In a new review, Savic et al. review the literature and discuss the risks and benefits of sugammadex and neostigmine for reversal of neuromuscular blockade: ow.ly/4qxe50W7hjK

When a patient presents with mottling among their constellation of signs, symptoms, and labs, there is a look that team members give each other that we've all seen. It's not a positive look. Here is some data reinforcing our intuition. 🎩 tip to the authors.

🫁 What happened to ARDS? 20 years ago ARDS was everywhere. Now we rarely see it. We didn't cure it. We just stopped causing it. Here’s how IV fluids quietly created (and solved) an epidemic of iatrogenic lung injury 🧵

A milestone for pain relief! 🚨 Meet Suzetrigine, a peripherally acting NaV1.8 inhibitor just FDA approved for moderate to severe pain—and it’s not an opioid or NSAID. 👇apsf.org/article/suzetr… #Suzetrigine #Anesthesia #PainManagement #OpioidFree #NonOpioid #FDAApproved

🧵1/ Hypovolaemia is the most overdiagnosed concept in medicine. We say it reflexively — especially in sepsis. But here’s the uncomfortable truth: We can’t measure blood volume. We infer it. Often wrongly. Let’s unpack why that matters. 👇 #MedTwitter #FOAMed

Managing cardiogenic shock requires prompt identification and support of the ailing heart. Typical sepsis-type application of vasopressors worsens outcomes. Here's a better strategy. I'd add hemodynamic monitoring using a PAC. 🎩 tip to the authors. eddyjoemd.com/foamed
