#Remdesivir begins distribution in the #USA today via #EUA.
I thought would write down some practical #tips based on my #qualitative anecdotal experience after personally treating close to 200 patients with #COVID19.
For quantitative results, wait for the papers¬—thread

“this juice works, doc!” When you hear similar expressions 1-2 days after starting #remdesivir multiple times, you start to wonder. Don't recall a similar proportion of patients smile after feeling so sick 1-2 days earlier with #COVID19. x/n? Wait for the papers.
Like #treatment for any severe infectious disease (meningitis, Gram-negative bacteremia, influenza pneumonia, etc), earlier is always better. #COVID19 is no different. #Remdesivir stops #SARS-CoV2 replication, but won’t heal the lung injury.

As kidney replacement therapies (KRT) have become a strained and limited resource during the #COVID19 pandemic, here is a quick #tweetorial on how these treatments work:
What is the main mechanism by which clearance is achieved during intermittent #hemodialysis?

KRT has 2 powers:
1⃣Clearance (removal of solutes, like potassium 🍌)
2⃣Volume removal 💧
...and it comes in 2 flavors:
1⃣Intermittent
2⃣Continuous

3/ How does the potassium go from 7.2 meq/L to 4 after an intermittent #hemodialysis (iHD) session?
Chemistry 101: DIFFUSION!
Solutes are cleared via diffusion as they move ⬇️ their concentration gradient across a SEMIPERMEABLE membrane
