@PCC_PharmD @EDPharmDRoy @ThePeoplesRuben @ChelseaRames I thought heparinase was used primarily to detect for heparin activity in context of cardiopulmonary bypass and protamine reversal. Have also seen it in studies used to assess adequacy of DVT ppx. Would use non-heparinase for any trauma/ txa study
AMAZING study on TEG data over time among trauma pts and resultant outcomes based on phenotypes. LOTS of data to digest in this one, but HF or SD = bad; persistent SD = bad; HF is either lethal or short lived. No TXA admin'd as data from 2010-2012 #FOAMed

Nick Saban on being driven to be the best ⬇️
“There’s an old MLK sermon where he talks about that there’s only “one guy that I let shine my shoes, because of the pride and the performance of how he shined my shoes. I wouldn’t let anyone else shine them.”
💯Be the Best‼️
@topknife “There were no indications made as to the hemodynamic status of the patients enrolled ... Does an abnormal INR matter if a patient is not hemorrhaging and does a normal INR matter if a patient is?” #EASTjc
@topknife “The authors showed an improvement in the time to correction of INR in the 4-factor PCC group to just over 6 hours ... however, patients that die from acute coagulopathy of trauma do so within the first 3 to 6 hours.” #EASTjc

Great reminder that subject expertise doesn't necessarily correlate with teaching ability

Great talks at #MHSRS2018: @MartinSchreib10 presents multicenter PRCT of prehosp TXA for TBI. Improved survival w 2g dose, and 2/3 of sample met criteria for fibrinolysis shutdown!
No IV access? No problem. New calcium-channel blocker nasal spray effective in converting patients from SVT to sinus rhythm. https://t.co/Wpqompom2M #JACC
I spoke with people from the Cubs. The man who grabbed the ball on the widely seen video had actually already helped the little boy get a ball earlier. The young man has a game used ball and a Javy Baez ball. All is well. Guy is A-OK so let it go people.
