Rant #7: steroid infusions
I've never understood the rationale for using a continuous infusion of hydrocortisone
Steroid infusions are quoted in guidance so it must be right?

I don't think harmful (other than blocking a line) but it is a gateway to pharmcokinetics! Gulp.

🤔 Why doesn't an elevated BUN lead to extreme thirst? If increased serum osmolarity compels us to seek water, uremia should be a significant driver of this craving.
And yet, it isn't.
Let's examine why.

A thread 🧵 on trials I think have changed or will change ICU practice (at least my own). #emimcc
At the back of Revision Notes In Intensive Care Medicine there is a list of 59 key papers relating to intensive care medicine published between 1998 and 2015 (the book was published in 2016).
I'd like to keep my revision up to date. Are there any equivalent lists of key papers from 2016 to now?
