We are all familiar w the concept of "protective ventilation": aiming for normal blood gases entails significant risks

What if we apply the same idea in hemodynamics & try to limit the damage associated w excessive vasoconstriction?

Let's welcome the CLEAR strategy:

Det er på tide å gjøre tiden verdiløs og ubrukelig igjen Så lenge vi tror at tid er penger, kommer vi aldri til å stanse opp og frigjøre oss fra tidspresset.

vasopressin challenge: this group evaluated 1U bolus of vasopressin to evaluate patient responsiveness

I love this for a few reasons:

[1] allows vaso to have rapid onset (rather than taking 30-60 min to build up)

[2] we can get a sense of whether the vaso is helping

Then the pandemic hit, and the perils of running a health system at 95-99% occupancy came home to roost
