Check out the @pointofcaremed podcast episode on this topic.

spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/hJ1tDQYEDzb

Here's a TL;DR for the episode

2/18
When Admitting:

Immediate strict I/O's

Double the patient's home dose of loop diuretic (maybe more in CKD)

Find out if the patient put out well after the first dose in the ED (might not have the best I/O data)

Continue spironolactone if home med (to prevent hypokalemia)

It is called as "Lichtenberg figures", fernlike or featherlike transient skin injury induced by lightning. The girl was struck through the arm by which she was holding the rope.
Lichtenberg figures are pathognomonic of lightning injuries.
mech of injury can be a “direct strike,” which leads to fatal cardiorespiratory arrest, “ground current” when⚡️hits t ground nearby, “side splash” when⚡️strikes a nearby taller object, & “contact injury,” when t current is conducted by wires or otr metal surfaces, like this case.

As an intern, one of the highest-yield schemas I learned was for persistent fevers despite treatment with abx.

I use it all the time as a resident, especially when working with cancer patients.

Let's go through it!

- Thread -

#MedTwitter #MedEd #FOAMed #tipsfornewdocs

1/24
The general ddx for persistent fevers in the hospital, despite abx:

1. Wrong bug
2. Wrong drug
3. Wrong process
4. No source control
5. Not enough time

Let's take them one at a time.

2/24
1. Wrong Bug

When giving abx, we assume it's bacterial, but after some time, you should also consider:

- viruses - ex: CMV, EBV, HBV, HCV
- fungi - ex: candida, aspergillus, PJP, etc
- atypical infections - tickborne, TB, etc.

Twitter allowed us to create something different in medicine. I think it's special for these reasons:
🔸Transparency
🔸Content
🔸Flattened hierarchies
🔸Low barrier to entry
🔸Voice
Here's what I mean...
🔸Transparency = public accountability. Less locker room talk. Patients & the public hear us & engage, generally raising the bar for the conversation, bringing in diverse perspectives, and forcing some degree of professionalism. Unlike what we see in some closed groups on FB.
🔸Content focused; although amplification is a focus, the discussion is built on content. It's fundamentally different to build on words w images & videos rather than focusing entirely on the snippet. Twitter threads can be long and detailed with many refs/links... Unlike IG.

Starting FY1 in a few weeks but terrified of radiologists?

Here's how to make great imaging requests:🧵

#TipsForNewDocs
#TipsForFY1
1) Know your patient and summarise effectively

If a colleague asks you to "just arrange a scan" and you aren't sure why...ask them!
2) Have a clinical question

"PE or not PE" is a much easier question for a radiologist to answer with a CTPA rather than "chest pain ?cause".

Radiologists can suggest the type of scan to best answer your question, with the lowest radiation dose.

When should I send an ammonia? A thread 🧵 and list of indications

#MedTwitter #TipsForNewDocs
2/17
As I mentioned previously, ammonia is commonly sent for workup of AMS, and rarely is it helpful in that setting.

3/17
There are many reasons for this, one being ammonia needs to be sent from free-flowing samples and on ice. 🩸🧊

Also, it cannot be used to rule in or out hepatic encephalopathy, which is a clinical diagnosis.
