Honey, stop what you're doing, new hyponatremia research just dropped!

What's it say?

It looks like slow correction is associated with worse outcomes, like death and length of stay!

Was it just a small study?

No, it was a meta-analysis of almost 12,000 patients!

How to create oral resuscitation fluid at the bedside using soy sauce packets:

🍣 replicate normal saline or a balanced crystalloid (alkali not included though)

🍣 easy, fast, cheap

🍣 conserve IV fluid in situations where it’s safe to do so

PSA for physician friends - simply stated, #precedex is like IV clonidine. Please stop using it in paralyzed patients. Thanks.

@accpemedprn Am I the only one who wonders why guidelines recommend a bradykinin-induced angioedema be treated as if it’s histamine-mediated? 🤔

[Nadia I. Awad, PharmD @Nadia_EMPharmD]

For clinicians seeking to re-introduce droperidol into their practice in the emergency department, this article in @AJHPOfficial highlights it all. Fantastic work from @AM_EM_PharmD @kb_friend @CBthePHARMD @CabreraERDR:

For flash pulmonary edema, nitroglycerin is a mainstay of therapy. Nitroglycerin, typically considered a venodilator, has a dose dependent response:

< 100 mcg/min: venodilation ➡️ ⬇️ preload
> 100 mcg/min: arterial dilation ➡️ ⬇️ afterload
SL nitro can be given as loading dose
