Armed with coffee, Im at the case-based fundamental sessions. Discussing real cases and management strategies.

Would you do what the experts would do?

The classic case vignette of a septic patient being resuscitated - the audience is split between 30mls/kg of fluids or start a vasopressor. #LIVES2020

i suspect @Manu_Malbrain @khaycock2 et al have a view on the 30mls/kg option.

I like the fact that you can send your questions in on the platfrom. It can be intimidating to be handed a mic in a large room - I do anyway #LIVES2020

Interesting question raised by the audience - the use of sodium bicarb in fluid resuscitation #LIVES2020
Thoughts?

I absolutely agree with the Nathan Nielsen - do we really need to push 30mls/kg or indeed any fluid in someone who is septic and hypoxic? #LIVES2020

And now discussing a possible return of dopamine?

Whats really interesting about the case discussion is that it comes back to the same issues and the same controversies - fluids, vasopressors, monitoring etc. And the issue is INTERNATIONAL. #LIVES2020
