Much overdue #PKPD research on IV salbutamol dosing in acute severe childhood #asthma. Delighted to be senior author on latest paper in @ADC_BMJ : https://t.co/8zwtRj5IRU
TLDR; after IV bolus, 0.5 mcg/kg/min infusion sufficient for effective bronchodilation & avoids side-effects

Massive 10,000 patient paediatric RCT

#eCCR21 | Full free livestream | January 20th to 22nd

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

In toxic cultures, people prove their intelligence by tearing others down.

In healthy cultures, people use their intelligence to build others up.

Knowledge and expertise are not weapons to wield. They're resources to share.

[Critical Care Reviews @CritCareReviews]

Just 9 weeks to eCCR21. We start to release the programme this week. Just the 5 major trial results to be hosted, 11 of the best critical care trials of 2020 to be presented by their chief investigators, plus a little more...

All freely live streamed.
