Dr Maureen Bolon talking about COVID. She remarked we used to call it the "novel coronavirus" - I forgot about that. In all seriousness, we asked her to talk about covid thinking it would be over by now. #MHM20@midwesthospmed
Good historical comparison of #COVID19 to SARS-CoV, pandemic flu thelancet.com/journals/lanin…

Tried to channel my inner @tony_breu when presenting 3 hospitalist controversies yesterday:
- Normal saline vs Lactated Ringer's
- Risk of contrast-associated nephropathy?
- Routine K+ supplementation
GIANT THREAD (& poem).... #medtwitter@midwesthospmed#midwesthospmed 1/
NS vs Balanced IVF (e.g. usu LR as cheaper):
FYI LR has lactate, not lactic acid. quickly metabolized by liver to HCO3. caveat - cirrhosis pts can't metabolize as effectively so measured serum lactate can ⬆️(not harmful, not lactic acid). Can use D5W+3ampNaHCO3 if want buffer./2
