In 16,546 patients treated with droperidol, QT before, after, before & after, all similar. 1 (0.006%) developed TdP. Drop QT concerns=fake news before there was fake news. Fantastic review, more of the best agitation research by @jonbcole2 & UMN group escholarship.org/uc/item/2rc4p3…

"The... revised propensity analysis... identified a significant protective effect for doctor present at scene on mortality (OR 0.77; 95% CI 0.62 to 0.95, p=0.015)."

Just in case it got buried in the thread, check out this fantastic talk on echo guided resus by my friend and former co-resident Robert Whitford, MD. Fantastic images and discussion on diastology and physiology. #POCUS #echo #CCM youtube.com/embed/37xv1qRP…

#CriticalCareQuiz A 75-year-old man has urosepsis; no prior history. BP 95/52, HR 124, lactate 6. TTE shows EF 75%. VTI is 60 cm from pulsed wave Doppler. LVOT diameter is 2 cm, which yields CO 23.4 L/min. MV CW Doppler is also shown. Why is CO so high? #SCCMSoMe

Here’s another pulmonary physiology question that *everyone* who gives O2 to patients ought to know: What is the primary mechanism by which supplemental oxygen can increase PaCO2 in someone with severe COPD? 1/

(1/10) Pericardial tamponade is a clinical diagnosis supported by #echo (2D + quantitative). A 🧡of 10 confirmed tamponade cases (by drainage!) starting with obvious and ending with subtle ones that you could easily miss.. some PEARLS along the way πŸ‘‡#medtwitter #foamed

UW Medicine’s ECMO programs at Harborview & UWMC Montlake have launched a new ECMO Transport Team. This means we can now bring our team to the bedside at any hospital within Washington (more states to come soon). Referring providers can find info here: bit.ly/4cE5KZT
