Biomarker guided abx treatments in sepsis. We catch up with Drs/Profs: Paul Dark, Stacy Todd, Enitan Carrol, Jonathan Sandoe and Matthew Stevenson on this large area of research @ICS_updates#SOA21
So, do biomarkers have any utility in guiding abx use in sepsis? We can measure, usually, these ones fairly easily: #SOA21
A thread 🧵👇
There's been a lot that's gone on over the past few years that's exposed the well known 'darker' side of social media. Traditional paradigms of knowledge dissemination have changed (if not disappeared). Much higher tech-savy population. #SOA21

Is COVID-19 hyperinflammation, or a cytokine storm in a teacup? @DrPujaMehta1 's fab talk from #SOA21 today!
Main Q = "Hyperinflation contributing to worse outcomes for some patients with COVID-19" - clinical similarities to sHLH seen. Viruses are the most common trigger of sHLH. Early reports from China suggested cytokine profile was similar to sHLH in terms of COVID severity. #SOA21

What have we learned during COVID? Prof Tony Gordon takes us through a whirlwind tour of COVID-19 research.... #SOA21
Scientists AND politicians in the spotlight during COVID. Very different approaches between the two groups.#SOA21

Prof. Jerry Nolan - a giant of resuscitation - discusses why we can't replicate the trial outcomes in cooling post-cardiac arrest.... #SOA21 A thread 🧵👇
Jerry Nolan presenting! We know for sure that hypothermia BEFORE something like cardiac surgery is protective. As well as pre-cooling prior to cardiac arrest! #SOA21

Mucormycosis in ICU - A Tweetorial (Relevant due to #COVID19 in India) #FOAMed#FOAMcc
It's an invasive mould. Mucormycosis is a unifying term for infections belonging to 'Mucorales' - (so, Rhizopus, Mucor, Absidia etc). The fungi are filamentous. It's also all around us. pubs.rsna.org/doi/full/10.11…
Antimicrobials in COVID-19 Patients in ICU is one of our sessions at the #C19marathon this Saturday - let's have a look at some of the current literature ahead of the session.
Due to the high amounts of multi-drug resistant organisms, superimposed infections are problematic in C19 patients - via immune dysregulation and mechanical ventilation. karger.com/Article/FullTe…
Thank you to @ICNARC who have published data on the first 5578 critically ill patients in the NHS. I've summarised some of their publication in this thread below: #covid19#covid19foam#foamed#FOAMcc Original here: icnarc.org/Our-Audit/Audi…
The data does not include Scottish ICUs - but does for Eng, Wales and NI. To date (yday) there have been 6664 ICU admissions due to COVID19. The largest cohort being in London. There is also cumulative data of numbers by date. #covid19#covid19foam#foamed#FOAMcc
What is CORONAVIRUS? How might it affect ICU? Let's go back to basics and look at the emerging evidence bases, protocols and risks. #FOAMed#FOAMcc#WuhanCoronavirus#CoronavirusWho
Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). #FOAMcc#FOAMed
