The pandemic & ICU

There is questionable value of conversation with an individual who is either misinformed or intentionally misrepresenting recent history

However a thread to correct the record/explain apparent inconsistency in data that may lead others to honest error

ALERT: The @CV_UHB Park and Ride shut early at 16:00 today. The cars are now locked in for the next few days. I did not see any alerts about this so it will likely have affected other staff too. @drstuartwalker @SMcL_UHW_MD @JenneyMeriel @drdlh77

During PPH (≥1000 mL/cases of clinical concern about bleeding), ROTEM Sigma Fibtem A5 can detect fibrinogen ≤2 g/L & guide targeted fibrinogen replacement. Laboratory results should continue to be used to guide platelet and FFP transfusion. #ObAnes #PPH

On HOSPITAL transfers of ICU patients

Pre COVID-19 (infact even in the first surge) these were a rarity, termed 'non-clinical transfers' & subject to local review at senior level. ie something to avoid

During surge 2 they have risen as never before
