disagree with this “triangle of saftey” nonsense
in morbid obesity or cardiomegaly, this location could be dangerous (eg, diaphragm can be really high)
so POCUS is key to establish anatomy before tube insertion
(and incidentally, ICU patients never look like this in real life 🙄) #EMIMCC

Tranexamic acid has been proven to ⬇️ bleeding in most surgical settings.
But what dose of TXA should you use in different clinical contexts?
