1. Fluid resusc in pancreatitis: aggress (vs mod) fluids lead to more VOL in mild to mod disease Image
2. Intermediate LMWH for VTE PPX form highest degree of efficacy and lowest bleeding risk
3. Beta-lactam or Vanco first - B-lactam first decreased mortality by 50% per 48h and 7d mortality rate (GN sepsis…)

@ACPIMPhysicians #IM2023
4. Cellulitis Over-Dx 40% of the time…alt <18%: venous stasis, stasis dermatitis, abscess; shorter LOS, less Abx; consider consult in atypical cases
5. ID Consult on outcomes for Pseudomonal bacteremia: 50% drop in-hosp and 30d mortality

#IM2023 @ACPIMPhysicians
6. Nutrition in the Hospital: increased life span 1-3 mo
7. Hospitalist info cards: pts appreciate how to contact and daily schedule
8. Frailty and In-Hospital CPR (age>65): <15% survive; 55% to 84% mortality between low to high degree of frailty score

Just listened to @BedsideRounds episode #72 entitled “Problems” with Dr. Adam Rodman. Why do we spend so much time on documentation and why does it matter? @Gurpreet2015 @AdamRodmanMD podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/bed…
1. How we document is how we think: as early as the 18th century, notes started off with communicative and didactic purpose
-19th into 20th century notes: closer to the modern H&P.
2. A lot of things that exists that we do don’t exist for a rationalist reason, but rather for historical contingency. It happens in medicine all the time!
3. The way that we document today was born out of two parallel movements.

Day 3/Lecture 1: CKD
1. Cr and cystatin C: Cr has a diet source, cystat C does not (nor muscular influence). Musc young pt w/o RF and neg UA with an inc Cr has just that, not AKI!
2. Indications for Nephrology Referral in patient's with CKD (see photo). #IM2023 @ACPIMPhysicians ImageImageImageImage
4. SGLT2i + Finerinone (non-steroid MRA) attenuates CKD progress and HF hospitalization (not Semaglutide except w/CAD pts) even w/o hx of DM. + effect after max RASi on board.
5. Tx pts w/ DM+CKD with GFR > or = 30 cc/min w/ SGLT2i (Empa, Dapa, Canag).

#IM2023 @ACPIMPhysicians Image
6. SGLT2i not rec in DM1 pts (risk of DKA) and ADPCKD
7. Spiro/eplerenone with more data in HFrEF, Finerenone with more data in CKD.
8. Q of which to start first - SGLT2i or MRA, still remains.
9. Per KDIGO, sCr increase of 0.3 mg/dL in 48h = AKI.

Day 2/Lecture 5: For my fellow CVD Hospitalists - ACS updates in 2023!

1. Chest pain should not be described as atypical.
2. hsTNT: approved in 2017, more testing will result in more positive results (28% T1MI, 225% in T2MI)

#IM2023 @ACPIMPhysicians
3. In women with CP, focus on history that emphasizes accompanying symptoms more common in women with ACS.
4. ACC guidelines don’t specify when you should load with P2Y12 inhibitors. ESC guidelines clearly DO NOT rec them in patients w/ unknown coronary anatomy and….

#IM2023
…being considered for early revascularization strategy (high GRACE). Load ASA/statin and consult cards.
5. More stat sig bleed with prasug d/t higher degree or nonfatal MI.
6. Ticag>prasug in ACS patients based on PLATO trial results. Clopid is falling out of favor.

Day 2/Lecture 4: analyzing thought processes behind clinical reasoning with cases! Premature closure, framing and anchoring biases ARE a thing in the diagnostic process.

#IM2023 @ACPIMPhysicians ImageImageImageImage
Think about your PR and schema based on the patient’s presenting complaint, trust your H+P, and resultant medical decision making! Practice holding off clinching Dx in PR. Can elaborate in A/P of note. Compare typical and atypical PRs. #IM2023 @ACPIMPhysicians Image
Keys to Clinical Reasoning:
1. Be skeptical - Trust but verify.
2. Deliberately engage in clinical reasoning
3. Foster a non-punitive culture for errors
4. Craft avenues for feedback
5. Identify the hard stops to prompt reflection and reassessment.
