In the US, 6.6m patients use Furosemide vs 0.48m Torsemide.

But why?

Torsemide:
-longer half-life
-⬆️ absorption
-⬇️ mortality?? (await TRANSFORM-HF)

Furosemide: cost less. Or does it?

Depends!

Let’s compare cost by standardizing dosage of diuretics 👇🏾#cardiotwitter

Do you use base excess in your routine clinical assessment of acid-base status? If so, please share when do you find it most useful.

[Salt @Saltwebsite]

Yes, this was actually a thing.
