🫀🫁 The effects of positive pressure ventilation on cardiac preload make it possible to easily detect responsiveness using different tests/indices. They enable to personalize therapeutic strategy according to patient's physiology, improving outcome. #FOAMcc @icmjournal.bsky.social 🔓 bit.ly/3DfOQ6t

Dilemma = a situation in medical practice where ethical principles or values come into conflict, and competing interests must be balanced, making it challenging to determine the morally correct course of action.

This is a really interesting study on #LungUltrasound for pneumothorax. TLDR: LUS significantly underperformed CXR for detection of traumatic PTX, with high specificity (99%) but very low sensitivity (27%). I have a few thoughts 🧵 -

Legalizing medically assisted death, but forcing people to ingest a cocktail of drugs, rather than providing safe venous access and a professional to perform and oversee the procedure, is profoundly hypocritical and unfair www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-...
