@ThinkingCC@franciscojlk@marceloramalho Maybe this can enter the realm of US techs who can learn the nuances, similar to echo techs? I'll do the POCUS at bedside, and order a "formal lung US" to get the marginal details or to obtain confirmation of my findings
@nickmmark@PulmCrit Good point about POC EEG monitoring. But how about the data that succinylcholine is dangerous in status? What is that based on? (This is coming from a person who uses roc almost exclusively)
@PulmCrit@nickmmark What's your data about hyperkalemia and status epilepticus / eclampsia? Roccuronium reversal is often not available, and EEG monitoring setup takes a lot of time no matter where you are.
@IM_Crit_ Going by this algorithm, if no sustained CO2 waveform, you'd reintubate the cadaver (despite proper placement), sounds like? To me your (excellent) post reinforces the point that an important ddx to non-sustained CO2 capnography should include non-circulation or cardiac arrest.
Ten cognitive check points (general rules or heuristics to help guide my practice) I use in the ICU to help make sure I don't get too far off track. A thread🧵👇
1/10: Shock with a narrow pulse pressure (<30mmHg) needs an urgent #POCUS (or echo) to identify occult RV/LV failure, obstructive shock, or severe hypovolemia.

@ShahrourWalid @ranjithramamd Good questions. Probably can be a routine question put in writing for any man who gets deployed during war or even prior to such. Whether he consents to this in the event of death. Can be extended to other high risk professions, perhaps even further.
💉 Vancomycin + pip–tazo associated with ⬆️risk of creatinine-defined #AKI in critically ill: pseudotoxicity?? No changes in alternative kidney function biomarkers, nor downstream clinical outcomes associated with true AKI.
