New ICS guidelines on delirium. Such a common condition on ICU with significant associated mortality but remains a challenge to manage.

Delirium in critically ill patients is a serious but often underdiagnosed condition.

Our new guidelines offer expert recommendations for early detection, prevention, and management in the ICU.

Let's improve outcomes together!

This is spot on, most in the UK would assume physicians are from a medical background rather than surgical/anaesthesia/radiology/pathology etc.

Very limited exposure to other monitors but use the twitch view and think it’s great. All EMG based so hands don’t need to be free. Doesn’t get upset when disconnected for transfer. @chronotrope.bsky.social is the man to ask though!

Tricky, most Dr’s unless in a management position don’t have a work phone so personal phone frequently shared. It’s shared in our anaesthetic rota app for all to see. Luckily I find people limit use to when they need a quick answer. Lack of work phone does make it difficult to separate work/life!

I’m really enjoying these rants which could be more accurately referred to as pearls of critical care. Less is sometimes more…

Rant #6: Masterly inactivity

The immediacy of critical illness requires expedient action.

But, the art of being a good critical care doctor is to know when to act & when to wait.

The rant usually centres on hypertension management but feel free to *insert* alternative

Over the years I've developed a number of "rants" (aka teaching) that seem to resonate with trainees on #ICUsky ward round.

This pedogogical style might make educationalists wince but keeps me and (crucially) trainees, interested

Interested in any counter rants, refined rants or rant affirmation

Top ups for theatre 100mcg fentanyl plus a 50:50 mix of 2% lignocaine & 0.5% bupivacaine with 1:200000 adr then some 8.4% bicarb. Seems to work quickly and reliably.

SimTIVA.app is great for playing around with the models to get a better understanding of how they work. Helped me get a good grasp of Eleveld and it’s free!

Decent condition, actually inherited it from my Grandad, good selection of lenses, I go through phases of using it more but recently had very little use thanks to kids and exams!

Great pictures Rob, I’ve got a tired 400D which is struggling a bit so a new body is definitely on my to do list! Still can take good pictures but the resolution is now several times greater on my phone!
