💊 Can patients with a penicillin allergy safely receive piperacillin–tazobactam?

📊 The PIPPEN study found that 98% (187/191) of patients with a penicillin allergy tolerated piperacillin–tazobactam, including 100% of those with prior anaphylaxis.

Evidence on the PK/PD perspective to optimizing antimicrobial therapy with beta-lactams in critically ill patients is ever growing.

On this day 16 years ago, the NICE SUGAR trial was published, showing that intensive glucose control increased mortality among adults in the ICU. Today, we continue to target a glucose of less than 180 mg per deciliter owing to the results of this study.

TIL @ATCMeeting: 65.9% of transplant pharmacists meet criteria for #burnout - more than any other discipline in the field. Sounds like a #CallToAction is imperative at this point!

new chapter: ground glass opacities (GGO)

☁️ GGO is enormously common (and no, it doesn’t mean that the patient has pneumocystis or COVID 🙄)

☁️subtypes help narrow the differential (eg diffuse GGO, mosaic pattern, crazy-paving, headcheese sign)

[Josh Farkas MD 💊 @PulmCrit]

fresh chapter: hilar & mediastinal lymphadenopathy

🔍 mild swelling of a couple nodes is nonspecific, but bulky lymphadenopathy is diagnostically important

🔍distribution, imaging characteristics, & context can help sort the possibilities

[Josh Farkas MD 💊 @PulmCrit]

fresh chapter: septal thickening, crazy paving, and fibrosis

〰️ septal thickening often suggests heart failure, but the differential is broad

🤪 approach to the acutely ill patient with crazy paving

🐝🍯 causes of honeycombing

[Josh Farkas MD 💊 @PulmCrit]

fresh chapter: cavitary lung lesions!

🕳️ broad differential (the usual suspects: infection, malignancy, inflammatory)

🕳️ key clues include number, location, wall thickness, surrounding lesions

🕳️ air-crescent sign suggests aspergillus, but not always
