Fascinating paper suggesting the assumption that there is a sigmoid dose response relationship and threshold effect ( "all-or-nothing") for loop diuretics rests on repeated misinterpretation of original studies from the 70s and 80s. #nephsky #cardiosky #emimcc academic.oup.com/ehjcvp/artic...
What are the pharmacodynamics of loop diuretics?
A recent editorial was entitled ‘Loop diuretics in heart failure: few facts and lots of prejudice’.1 I would argue that we have forgotten or distorted some

So a recent Veritasium video on natural selection explains kin selection and does the unavoidable thing of saying that a parent shares "half of its genes with the child". This is wrong, because for any 2 humans, we share almost all of our genes. We share more than 95% with chimpanzees ffs. >>

This honestly should be required reading for anyone undertaking (or evaluating) exploratory studies... ⬇️👍 (It's proper funny too 😅)
Which reminds me of this old classic on the Noise Miners.

“'Noise mining is a funny thing,' he said. 'When you first see a bit of noise, it doesn’t look so impressive. But as you work it out of the rock, it gets more and more refined.' This process, he explained, is called 'shucking.'"

Remembering the most likely mediator of reduced mortality in the original EGDT therapy was the presence of the CI in the intervention arm, the regular attendance of an interested and informed clinician (and skilled ICU nurse) likely has a bigger impact than any single drug or intervention.
"One intangible advantage of capillary refill time is that performing it brings the clinician back to the bedside to reassess the patient. This act may be itself the holy grail of early sepsis management."

great piece on #sepsis
💬 Editorial: While capillary refill time shows promise for early #SepticShock management, integrating it into broader, multimodal resuscitation strategies remains key to improving outcomes.

In light of the art line trial. Interesting result. Need to read in depth. We really have gone full circle. A lot reflects on my practice and how I have grown up doing icu 2016 on wards and the UK practice. Back in those days, icu is a place where things are done “properly” @drfreeze.bsky.social 1/n
well, gonna have to read this
New RCT: Avoiding A-line in shock didn't affect mortality (trend towards *reduction*) & decreased line complications

They avoided A-lines despite patients requiring pretty substantial doses of vasopressors

Very #zentensivist

Don't need to rush to an A-line

Who’s watching
Trials coming up at #esicm #lives2025

I am by far most interested in #andromedashock2.

The usual yearly sweepstakes apply ping @avkwong.bsky.social @redneeraj.bsky.social

I think all of those trials will be “positive”.

Your thoughts?

I would be really impressed w/ clusters from a set of variables, where the clusters are interesting (not just high/low/mix), w/ demonstrated stability, that can predict some other completely separate variable (other measurement scheme, domain) in a way that makes sense.

But I've never seen this...

Great advice as always
I would normally not have batted an eye at this paper

But it’s by Robert Hahn, and is a nice overview of everything we know about fluid redistribution in the critically unwell- including gel phase, some glycocalyx stuff, 3 compartment models, and albumin escape rates

Where does the fluid go?
💦 morphological changes/damage by fluid overload
🛌 fluid distribution in anesthesia
3️⃣ extracellular fluid compartments
💧 physiology, manipulation & max filling of slow-exchange fluid space
🔥 inflammation, capillary leakage & lymphatic flow 💦
