💊 Can patients with a penicillin allergy safely receive piperacillin–tazobactam?
📊 The PIPPEN study found that 98% (187/191) of patients with a penicillin allergy tolerated piperacillin–tazobactam, including 100% of those with prior anaphylaxis.

❌ La homeopatía no ha demostrado eficacia terapéutica
El reciente informe de la @AEMPSGOB lo confirma: resultados comparables al placebo y sin evidencia en ninguna patología
⚠️ Principal riesgo: retrasar o sustituir tratamientos eficaces
Ya está publicado el informe sobre homeopatía. (https://t.co/Zkxd9hQbfB)
🔴No hay evidencia de que tenga ningún beneficio clínico.
🔴Puede desplazar a otros tratamientos y, por ello, perjudicar la salud de quien la toma.
Afortunadamente, en España no se financia por parte del Sistema Nacional de Salud (en otros países sí, pero está en retirada y merece la pena leer en el informe algunas consideraciones sobre esos casos).
CRE RESPOND is proud to invite you our 6th Annual Worldwide Precision Dosing Seminar on Thursday 28 May 2026!

Meropenem dose in ventriculitis:
11 g/day needed to reach serum ~30 mg/L
→ translating to just ~4 mg/L in the CSF
CNS penetration remains a major limitation—even with aggressive dosing.

Who needs more evidence to stop placing central venous lines for short term vasopressor use with appropriate monitoring? Yet another study @JAMANetworkOpen shows low incidence of adverse events with avoidance of CVC in a substantial proportion of patients. https://t.co/F4EWBEXS9e

🏥 Who should be admitted to the ICU? A question without simple answers.
A comprehensive review on ICU admission criteria and severity of illness highlights one of the most complex aspects of critical care: decision-making under uncertainty.
🔍 Key messages:
• There are no strict admission criteria—decisions rely on clinical judgment, physiology, and prognosis �
• ICU care is resource-intensive and must be allocated to patients most likely to benefit
• Severity scores (NEWS-2, APACHE II, ICNARC) are useful but cannot predict individual outcomes reliably
📊 Clinical triggers for ICU admission typically include:
• Shock (e.g., sepsis, cardiogenic)
• Respiratory failure
• Acute renal, neurological, or hepatic failure
• High-risk postoperative patients.
⚖️ The decision is guided by the four pillars of medical ethics:
• Autonomy
• Beneficence
• Non-maleficence
• Justice
👉 ICU admission is not just about survival
It is about meaningful recovery and quality of life
📖 A fundamental read for intensivists, anesthesiologists, and emergency physicians

🫀 Vasopressin in Cardiogenic Shock: Are we underusing a key tool?
A recent ESC Heart Failure review provides a comprehensive analysis of vasopressin in cardiogenic shock, covering pathophysiology, clinical evidence, and therapeutic applications.
While traditionally associated with distributive shock, vasopressin may play a crucial role in selected cardiogenic shock phenotypes.
🔍 Key takeaways:
• Cardiogenic shock is a heterogeneous syndrome requiring phenotype-driven therapy
• Vasopressin offers a non-adrenergic mechanism, potentially improving perfusion pressure while reducing catecholamine-related adverse effects
• Particularly relevant in:
– Low SVR / mixed shock states
– Post-cardiac arrest shock
– Tachyarrhythmia-related cardiogenic shock
• Important to recognize scenarios where vasopressin may be detrimental.
🎯 The message is clear:
We should move toward physiology-guided, individualized vasopressor strategies rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
📖 Highly recommended reading for intensivists and cardiologists managing shock.
