@md_frost @doc_BLocke Perhaps someone can explain?

If serum ketosis resolves and there is a NAGMA present, how will interpreting the HCO3 help guide Mx?

@firstlawofvol @doc_BLocke If the gap has closed and the bicarb is 12, what are you hoping to treat with the continued use of IV fluids?

[VTA Symposium @VTA_Symposium]

This year celebrates 20 years of VTA – we have been doing this for a while! Packed with international speakers 🌎🌍🌏, as well as local leaders 🇿🇦 in critical care, the programme is designed to cover a broad range of topics directly and indirectly impacting ventilation.
#VTA23

[VTA Symposium @VTA_Symposium]

So your patient is intubated, ventilating well and all your support is doing its thing! Straight forward right? Next step - Liberation! The question is when, how do you do an SBT, with what tools, to what support! All these questions and more at #VTA23 on Saturday! #Critcare

Really looking forward to hearing your insights @frubulotta #vta23

Women are still minorities and discrimination has not ended in 2023 #WomenInScience #women #peace join us awareness can be raised only with your help!

[VTA Symposium @VTA_Symposium]

Antibiotic dosing in critically ill patients is tricky. Prolonged infusin, leak levels, trough levels, TDM…
Interesting discussion -
What about during dialysis? Can it be personalised? We might have an expert or two coming in with an opinion at VTA this year…#VTA23 #CritCare

[VTA Symposium @VTA_Symposium]

We’ll be dropping many announcements this week about the upcoming 2023 Ventilation Through the Ages Symposium. Then look out for info about some of our amazing speakers & workshops in the weeks to come. Practicing crit care in South Africa? Don’t miss this ;) #VTA23 #critcare

[Bojan Korda @GasBugZa]

This symposium is going to be incredible, trust me 😄
Spread the word!

Furthermore, there is evidence e-cigs may cause changes that promote pneumococcal binding to respiratory epithelium, predisposing to infection.
