@PharmacyToDose Wow this sounds like such a good lecture! Especially for helping residents understand different imaging and what it shows. Is there anywhere to pay to listen to it?
There is an IV fluids shortage (0.9% MS & LR) due to hurricane Helene.
Because of the shortage everyone should stop ordering routine maintenance fluids for the next 2-4 weeks.
Because of good medical practice everyone should stop ordering routine maintenance fluids forever.
@PharmDFarmD HR of 91 and…that’s it actually. HR of 91. Sepsis alert. Blood cultures. 30 ml/kg of fluid too despite normal BP and lactic. All while in a blood culture bottle and Iv fluid shortage 🥴
In a retrospective cohort study at 12 hospitals (2017-2019), 25,560 out of 35,415 (72%) patients who received antibiotics within 3hrs of SIRS did not meet “true sepsis” definition. These “overtreated” patients had longer LOS and higher rates of C diff. https://t.co/6YQv2VMCAF

@AndreaSikora I do think another factor is that, especially for large programs, preceptors can only come up with so many ideas for research and not all are worth publishing. Coming up with ~10 publishable ideas every year for 1 program feels impossible. Plus there’s thousands of programs.
