So much #research over the years on #nebulized #pain medication (I’m guilty!) but how many are using it in practice? Here’s another one looking at ketamine.

So many #geriatric prediction tools. My bias is find one that’s easy and go with it. The biggest benefit is putting a spot light on #frailty and thinking about how pre-existing disease is going to impact your older #emergency department patient. Am I wrong?

Finished updating the IBCC chapter on septic shock
This algorithm is where I ended up 👇
Therapies should be based on several factors (not solely whether CRT is <3; CRT isn't precise so this dichotomy is problematic)
Beware of vasopressin; it may depress digital perfusion & block the goal #EMIMCC

#Multimodal pain control. YES
IV #paracetamol. YES
Rapid onset opiate agonist/antagonist. YES

A nice look at fall risk in older patients. If we can anticipate and prevent falls in this group we can impact morbidity and mortality.
