Great show, worth a listen...With VTE prophylaxis there is a fine line between appropriate dosing and insanity. Dennis Kim erases the line.

TUNE IN this weekend as we sit down with @EricLeyMD to discuss the recently published @WesternTrauma #guidelines for VTE prophylaxis @JTraumAcuteSurg @sccm @EAST_TRAUMA @ACSTrauma

Shock Trauma open for business! The snow this morning was deeper, now it’s slippery sleet. My thoughts are with the ICU nurses, and staff, walking to work. Watch out for ice.

EPIC is unexpectedly down this morning 10/18/2025 at 0800. Is it working at your hospital?

[Matthew Martin, MD, FACS, McRIB @docmartin22]

Not many surgery meetings where you can have lunch on a glacier and then explore the ice caves.

@WesternTrauma again for the win!

1/ FDA hearing on #andexanet alfa is tomorrow (21 Nov 2024). The documents contain some more data on thrombotic events that weren't published in ANNEXA-I.

To be honest, reading through, I have found this data pretty shocking.

@viseshsankaran @ronansetron @DrLKVaughan The England keeper Green was looking up field when a slow roller allowed Dempsy to claim the equalizer. Hard to believe it scored, then and now.

@RLS_Sports Impressive come from behind 2-1 win for Pirates soccer in the Norcal playoffs.

Patients w/ TBI are at increased risk of VTE. Delays in initiation of DVT prophylaxis & delays to goal anti-Xa levels further predisposes this subpopulation to DVT development. Creatinine Clearance can predict the goal Enoxaparin dose in TBI patients.

The diagnosis and optimal management of extremity vascular injury remain controversial. This algorithm from the @WesternTrauma provides a data-driven approach to extremity vascular injury
