Hot take on dual diuretic therapy for decongestion of heart failure (ADVOR trial)

🔥furosemide monotherapy is an amateurish strategy for decongestion (esp if this already failed as an outpatient)

🔥adding acetazolamide improves natriuresis & efficacy

Does the optimal strategy remain unknown? Or should strategies always be individualised?

NEW: a common response to reports of hospitals struggling this winter is "it’s no different to a bad flu season!"

I’ve tracked down historical data on flu ICU admissions, including winter 2017-18, a record high.

Here’s how England’s Covid winter compares to a bad flu season 📹

Lots of hard work by @clairemccue21 meant we could look at the long term outcomes of our first wave of critically ill COVID-19 patients. Plenty of lessons to be learnt from meeting these patients @InSPIREICU.
