Attempting to make my first starter pack that includes both critical care and emergency medicine pharmacists! I have worked as both and think in a lot of ways we’re two sides of the same coin.

We all know that ICU patients are at risk of 🌊 FLUID OVERLOAD 🌊 which increases morbidity AND mortality. While it is a good first step to limit all “maintenance” fluids, do not forget to account for all IV intake!
Keep reading for a discussion on IV fluid intake in the ICU. 👇

This week in the ICU I d/c’d inappropriate antibiotics, caught and fixed med errors, and optimized sedation drips to facilitate faster vent weaning
But the thing I’m most proud of is tracking down a pen so a ventilated patient could better communicate with his family

Question: Are there any vaccines that have been tested in a randomized controlled trial?

Thank you to those who participated! The correct answer is “SUBQ”! ✅
Per the ISMP, “SC” can be mistaken as “SL” (sublingual), “SQ” as “5 every,” and the “q” in “sub q” as “every.” ❌
Best practice: use “SUBQ” (all uppercase, no spaces) or just write out “subcutaneously.” 👍

We ALL know dexmedetomidine (Precedex) and propofol (Diprivan) are preferred over benzodiazepines in ICU patients requiring sedation (shoutout PADIS guidelines).
BUT (as there are exceptions to every rule) here are some situations to "consider" BZDs. 🧐

An ICU rounds convo…
Me: Can we reduce duration of ABX to 7 days?
Them: Isn’t 10-14 more appropriate for gram (-) bacteremia?
Me: Per the BALANCE trial, a 7-day course of ABX was non-inferior to 14 days.
Them: Is this in guidelines yet?
Me: …
What would YOUR response be??

How many of us working in the ICU use the term "stress dose steroids" daily but are unsure where the term comes from?
For me, I learned how to order hydrocortisone well before I understood “why” these doses were used.
Read below for a quick thread on stress dose steroids!
