Surgeon General is my backup plan

Ooooh that’s good information even if it’s confusing lol.

I work in a surgical unit (truly a med/surg unit) and often have to wait until the surgeon says when enteral route is okay for our bowel surgeries. I was hoping we could consider doing the AAT to help speed up enteral meds/feedings.

Does anyone have any experience using an Acetaminophen Absorption Test (AAT) in the assessment/treatment of patients?

How did we ever get Vanc d/c’d before the MRSA PCR??

Albumin Replacement Therapy in Septic Shock This randomized clinical trial of patients with septic shock assesses whether albumin reduces 90-day mortality.

Stop trying to make albumin happen, it’s NOT going to happen!

“…albumin administration was safe but did not improve 90-day survival in patients with septic shock…”

Thanks, that’s all I can guess - they just wanted more clarity? But I’m also reading between the lines like if there was anything else warranting an updated statement.

Further, the US & Canada 2023 Consensus Statement on the Management of Acetaminophen Poisoning included stopping criteria which was very similar with some differences (added the "clinically well" criterium and didn't mention certain labs).

Can anyone clarify on these criteria?

The American College of Medical Toxicology updated their Practice Statement on Duration of IV Acetylcysteine Therapy following Acetaminophen Overdose.

Can anyone tell me why this was necessary? See below for the 2016 (left) and 2026 (right) statements.

He is the food my guy 🙏🙏🙏

Nurse: Pharmacy still hasn’t sent up my Nimbex drip!!!

Me: The DOW is over 50,000 right now

Clinical researchers: what are your tips for determining which journal(s) you want to submit your manuscript to?

Just a pharmacist getting vancomycin discontinued

If your medical guidelines don’t have a pharmacist co-author then what’s the point?

ICU colleagues: do you ever use midazolam (Versed) drips in non-intubated patients?

If not, why not?

If so, when?

Make sure to catch my abstract presentation at #SCCM2026!

See you there!

What it feels like when a physician doesn’t take your recommendation to d/c antibiotics

I didn’t realize that either!

I know everyone’s EPIC is set up differently, but give me some ideas (or screenshots) of where to look please! 🙏

EPIC and retrospective research experts: if I want to find the exact time that sepsis is identified/diagnosed/alerted in a hospitalized patient, where can I look?

SCCM expresses heartbreak over the death of ICU nurse Alex Pretti in Minneapolis this past weekend. The Society extends its deepest condolences to his loved ones, colleagues, and the broader critical care community grieving this loss.

Read SCCM’s full statement below.

One of the most harmful things is to pretend like you are incapable of doing anything wrong

Forgetting your hospital ID badge in the car.

A Calif. teen trusted ChatGPT for drug advice. He died from an overdose. "Who on earth gives that advice?"

“I knew he was using it,” she said, “but I had no idea it was even possible to go to this level.”

This mother’s quote is not about the illicit substances her 19-year-old son was taking, but about the AI chatbot he was consulting for drug advice.

But do you pronounce it “dime” or “deem”??

Happy January 12th to those that celebrate

Everyone should get paid time and a half when Epic is down

Taxonomists are so kruel

Nothing in medicine is more satisfying than being the one to fix the printer

In case you missed it!
