the 60 mg/kg levetiracetam dose in status epilepticus is based on a prospective multi-center RCT in NEJM (ESSETT trial) please don't change your practice based on a single-center retrospective cohort study IMHO to challenge the 60 mg/kg dose you would need another RCT

Thanks to all the attendees and for the great discussion. There is a pressing need to understand more about frailty in the critically and how to improve patient centered outcomes.

Non-invasive neuromonitoring is transforming pediatric ICU resuscitation, shifting focus from heart to brain for better long-term outcomes. McMaster University Department of Pediatrics' Ellery Cunan (@ellerytcc) & Marina Mir (Marina Mir) explored this at yesterday’s #GrandRounds⬇️ macvideo.ca/media/Pediatri…

An info packed session on #icurehab and #mobilisation in #ICU and #PedsICU. So good to mix child and adult challenges to start (early), deliver (safely), minimise (polypharmacy) and assess cognitive in post (P)icu clinics. Well done to this great group! #CCCF2024 Dale Needham, MD, PhD

Hey folks. It's possible to disagree with someone & even to have been treated unfairly by them, yet respond to them with grace, respect & human dignity. We need more civility, less hatred. More forbearance, less bitterness. Let's be a nation where people are kind to one another.

Norepinephrine is such a powerful vasopressor due to its effects on both cardiac output and SVR to increase the MAP. This image depicts how it affects the CO. 🎩 tip to the authors including Dr. Miguel Ibarra-Estrada, Eduardo Kattan and Christian Jung. eddyjoemd.com/foamed/

A nurse told me I reminded them of Noah Wyle’s character on The Pitt, and I think I’m going to put that on my CV. P.S. He’ll always be Dr Carter to me…
