@laurajoycenz@asumultrasound I have to agree with @NephroP - Segun has a soothing voice - it was all great talks I have been thinking a lot about since. I enjoyed the whole day immensely. It was also quite pleasing how all the topics nicely ran into each other.
Just a reminder to all nurses and doctors everywhere that placing a hypotensive patient in a head down position isn’t good for their airway, their breathing, their intracranial pressure (and hence their cerebral perfusion) and doesn’t usually help their blood pressure

Most important numbers for COVID-testing debate. (yes, retrospective, limitations, dichotomania, blah, blah, blah). Both negative RT-PCR AND negative CT DOES NOT RULE OUT COVID. And these were symptomatic, even worse in asymptomatic. See far right https://t.co/r2nrMRmb5h
#covid4MDs#COVID19 PCR often unavailable/late result. IMHO - EM test only those that need hospitalization. Everyone else - let epidemiologists decide who and how to sample. Another example of limited utility of PCR test - doi:10.1001/jama.2020.3204
