Nice. I hope you don’t mind if I talk about this on my channel also! Love your stuff

5/5
SUP decisions should be made on a case-by-case basis, weighing the risks & benefits for each patient!

4/5
These trials focused on mechanically ventilated patients. More research is needed to see if these findings apply to other ICU patients.

3/5
While PPIs can reduce bleeding, there are concerns about side effects like C. difficile infection & pneumonia. More research is needed on this!

2/5
What about PPIs vs. placebo for SUP? The REVISE & SUP-ICU Trials found PPIs reduced clinically important GI bleeding but didn't impact 90-day mortality.

1/5
Stress ulcer prophylaxis (SUP) is common in the ICU. Should we use PPIs or H2RBs? 🤔 The PEPTIC Trial found no difference in mortality between the two.

While FST is valuable for predicting AKI, it should be used cautiously in hypovolemic patients to avoid hypotension. Future studies may explore its use with other diuretics and later AKI stages. #Nephrology #AKI #FST #FOAMed #CriticalCare #CritCareSky #MedSky #AcuteMed

The Furosemide Stress Test (FST) has proven effective in predicting AKI in children after cardiac surgery and in kidney transplant recipients, where it can predict delayed graft function. #AKI #KidneyTransplant #FST #FOAMed #CriticalCare #CritCareSky #MedSky #AcuteMed

3/5
In AKI, the Furosemide Stress Test (FST) can guide RRT timing. Low urine output after FST suggests a high risk of AKI progression. Studies show FST outperforms some biomarkers in predicting severe AKI. #Nephrology #AKI #FST #FOAMed #CritCareSky #MedSky #AcuteMed

Furosemide acts in the kidney’s loop of Henle, driving water reabsorption. In AKI, altered pharmacokinetics may lead to furosemide resistance, making it a useful tool to evaluate renal tubular function. #AKI #Furosemide #KidneyHealth #CriticalCare #FOAMed #CritCareSky #MedSky #AcuteMed

The Furosemide Stress Test (FST) helps predict AKI progression and guides clinical decisions, like the timing of renal replacement therapy. By assessing urine output after FST, it indicates kidney function and potential AKI risk. #AKI #FST #Nephrology #FOAMed #CritCareSky #MedSky #AcuteMed
