@ami__odarone @umresfelrx @ibtiprofen @Reidesivir @linds_zolid Ooh ooh what about @sumeentriptan?!?

[Michael Armahizer @MikeA_42]

Big news!

[Michael Armahizer @MikeA_42]

@namorrismd @JAMACardio @JAMANetwork Solid framework for initiating therapy! Plus we can start working on insurance authorizations earlier to ensure patients can continue to receive after leaving the hospital.

@namorrismd All in a day’s work! Happy to be a part of the team! But those med recs 🤦‍♂️

Excellent overview of glibenclamide / glyburide use in brain injury by @namorrismd.

[Nicholas Morris @namorrismd]

IV glibenclamide shows promise for reducing cerebral edema and appears to be safe. PO glyburide leads to more hypoglycemia, especially if abnl renal fxn. Smaller, more frequent dosing may help. Kudos to @MikeA_42 for pushing this through to publication. https://t.co/ux27nTQh0c

Foleys and “fever packs”

[Nicholas Morris @namorrismd]

Until our field recognizes that foley "for strict Is/Os" is rarely indicated and that not all positive UAs or even cultures deserve treatment, UTI rates will remain the same. You don't need a foley to treat a SAH! @MikeA_42 #neurocrit

De-escalate before they leave the ICU!

[Matt Jaffa @mjaffa_do]

Discharged with anti-psychotics, opioids, the list is longer than we’d like to think. #NeuroRecoveryClinic @MikeA_42 @melissamotta @MDNeurocritcare
