1) Welcome to a #tweetorial on what every #ICU #nurse should know about #hypertensive crisis, or #hypertensive #emergency as it is now more properly termed. I’m Bryan Boling @bryanboling, ICU #NP, & co-host of the @icuscenarios podcast. Follow this 🧵for 🆓CE/#CME credit!

3) So let's start with a case: 65yo ♂️, presents to the #ED with #headache, lethargy & confusion. PMH: #HTN, #hyperlipidemia, #DM2, COPD. Initial VS: HR 85, BP 205/120, T 37.2 RR 12, SpO2 92% on RA. Family reports that he has been more lethargic over the past 2 days.
So, apparently the fancy Dragon interface was written in javascript running on Chromium!! 😱 #DM2 #SpaceX Is that still true @DJSnM? I found out they did a talk about it on GDC16. There seems to be no vault video, but here are some notes here: reddit.com/r/spacex/comme…
Also, there's a video someone shot of the docking sequence simulation during the talk:

For my first #Tweetorial, I will start with a question:
Which of the following medications from the SGLT2 inhibitor class have been shown to decrease cardiovascular morbidity and mortality?

Sodium glucose transporters (SGLT) in proximal tubules mediate glucose reabsorption.
How?
Na/K ATPase moves Na out & K into the cell ➡️gradient for Na to flow intracellular
SGLT uses this potential to move glucose against its gradient from the tubular fluid into the cell.

SGLT2 inhibitors block glucose reabsorption
➡️renal glucose excretion
➡️glucose levels⬇️
Because this has nothing to do with insulin, they usually don’t cause hypoglycemia or weight gain.
Actually, because of the osmotic diuresis, they decrease blood pressure & weight.
