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
