The Rules of Anaesthesia are fantastic. Is there an equivalent for intensive care? If not, what would you include?

Always ask ‘…over how long?’ when you’re told that a hypotensive referral has ‘already received 2L fluids’ 💧⏰

Screw the valve down, turn the O2 on, and never forget the roids.

“roids” = steroids.

Comes from the classic 📖 “The House of God” by Samuel Shem.

Yes, roids (bloody autocorrect!).

Thanks very much!

I like: Oxygen needs to go in, blood needs to go round and round, everything else is window dressing. (Glucose is an exception.)
