@SeeFisch It is only with cephalosporins that share the same R side chain: first generation like cefaclor and cefalexin. Other commonly used cephalosporins have disimilar side chains
@PulmCrit But i wouldn’t rely on a negative nare swab to not treat, for example, someone very unwell with secondary infection post flu, because the sensitivity of 86-88% is not good enough in that case.
@MHReddell NZ has not submitted health spending data to OECD since 2018 so everything since has been estimates. We have also previously (and uniquely) included GST in the figures
@DavidLBrownMD If that were to happen again today it is highly likely you would never get intubated as our management of asthma has improved. So the expectation to return to work would be higher. It easy to make pointless inter generational comparisons to suit any narrative
@BradSpellberg@emedfocus@ABsteward Because it’s a case of someone developing nosocomial septic shock from a urinary source? I agree with your latter point, but not the former
@BradSpellberg@emedfocus@ABsteward They were previously anuric but had renal recovery that wasn’t recognised. Pus came out of the newly inserted urinary catheter.
@BradSpellberg@emedfocus@ABsteward I mean it’s rare but it still sometimes happens. I recall a couple of cases where an “anuric” pts’ septic shock rapidly resolved once the unrecognised half litre of urine sitting in the bladder was drained
@inthehm01@CoffeeBlackMD There has never been a trial of albumin vs no-albumin in HRS. I suspect in the ICU where we can give vasopressors easily it makes absolutely no difference
