Chronic lead poisoning, even at low levels, is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease in adults and cognitive deficits in children. A new Review Article explores the effects of chronic, low-level lead poisoning. Read the full review: https://t.co/z4gofpOkFB
After the U.S. dropped the nuclear bomb on Japan, a famous image emerged of a child carrying his brother, saying, “He is not heavy, he is my brother.”
Now, the scene repeats itself again, this time in Gaza, with the same perpetrator funding and contributing in the crime.
ICU Snaphots:
One of the common scenarios in the ICU: the patient with known systolic heart failure who is admitted to us either from the ED or from the ward because she is "diuretic-resistant". There are some nice algorithms to follow:
Here's are the key pericardial tamponade findings on #echo.
Key points:
1) Clinical suspicion - pericardial effusion + organ failure (not just frank hypotension)
2) Swinging heart (severe)
3) Dilated IVC (not always, but usually)
4) Any size effusion (size of accumulation matters --> in trauma, small effusions cause tamponade)
5) RV diastolic collapse (be careful it isn't just the RV contracting --> look at TV)
6) RA collapse during systole (but ventricular systole!)
7) Excessive MV inflow variations (different sources different thresholds)
8) Excessive TV inflow variations (variable thresholds0
9) Low LVOT VTI (surrogate of stroke volume) - **not commonly discussed but super helpful**
10) Venous Congestion - #vexus what!?! Large effusions and tamponade can cause organ failure via congestion.
What am I missing?
Oh. And be wary of the sneaky post cardiac surgical tamponade which can be regional --> look at each chamber carefully to look for localized compression.
