@charlot_summers Thanks @charlot_summers! Lovely day out with the family who have had their fill of ceremony in Latin, watching the punts navigate the Cam and ice cream 😀☀️
Elevated ferritin, mediated by IL-18 is associated with systemic inflammation and mortality in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) https://t.co/9aC1P66RL4 @drpujamehta1 @msh_manu @charlot_summers@ceciliaokane
Research in the United Kingdom and the United States shows a median tidal volume >8 mL/kg predicted body weight was associated with worse patient outcomes. Read more in the February @journal_CHEST issue: https://t.co/CXyLvnP8RO

Delighted to see this work by the fabulous @dr_romster published in @accpchest
Low Tidal Volume Ventilation Is Poorly Implemented for Patients in North American and United Kingdom ICUs Using Electronic Health Records - CHEST https://t.co/9a6HlqFNag
Interesting study in the prognostic role of ferritin in ARDS. Whether blocking IL18 would provide a meaningful benefit in survival is an intriguing question, esp in situations where most of the time you feel like you dont have a lot to offer other than supporting measures.
If you asked me about greatest change over the 40 years I worked in the NHS I would say the loss of consultant autonomy. The horrifying story of the baby-murders at Chester and the management’s refusal to listen to the doctors is a ghastly culmination of this process.
From accessing new resources and training, to securing precious focus time for research, Dr Romit Samanta @dr_romster at @HLRI_Cambridge talks about the benefits of partnering with industry on a clinical fellowship, in our new blog: https://t.co/L7WDyYbKub
@MedCrisis Alpha-2 receptors will chill you out and slow everything down (too much -> asystole). Dexmedetomidine is your giga Chad home boy (is this the correct terminology?)
