The entire IDSA guideline on diabetic foot infection doesn't include the word "cefepime." Not once.

It does recommend piperacillin-tazobactam in certain cases.

I'm not saying you *can't* use cefepime (you absolutely can and should in some cases), but such therapy isn't guideline-directed. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

unpopular opinion: if ICP is unequivocally elevated due to cardiac arrest (eg >25mm), that suggests severe brain injury with a poor prognosis, no matter what you do.

this explains why trials of higher MAP targets after cardiac arrest (eg BOX trial) are all neutral. #EMIMCC

"consensus" guideline on the management of DKA & HHS

with ZERO input from:
- anyone in emergency medicine
- anyone in critical care
- anyone in hospital medicine

the guidelines (published in 2024) contain many antiquated practices and big errors... 🧡#1/3 #EMIMCC

Acetaminophen Use During Pregnancy and Children’s Risk of Autism, ADHD, and Intellectual Disability This nationwide cohort study with sibling control analysis examines the association of acetaminophen use during pregnancy with children’s risk of autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability.

A Swedish cohort (~2.5M births, April 2024) with sibling-control design found no link between prenatal acetaminophen and autism, ADHD, intellectual disability.

Earlier associations = confounding

These are the questions #EMPharmD hear in real time. Evidence matters.

new IBCC section on diphenhydramine toxicity 😁

☠️ very common

☠️ can be severe

☠️ management can get complex (hybrid of anticholinergic tox & Na-blocker tox)

would be interested in any feedback on this (like all things toxicological, there's not a ton of data)
