Agree, ITU nurses in particular are so close to their specific patients in their work and meticulously caring by vocation the stress must be huge and deeply felt. They should be better rewarded to reflect it.

Many thanks to @pssld_official and @helpatologist for the opportunity to present at their 15th Annual Congress, on the ICU management of #ACLF. While the APASL, EASL & AASLD definitions differ, ICU management should be the same for all cohorts when organ failures ensue
1/13 Why does adrenal insufficiency (particularly adrenal crisis) lead to hypotension? I don't think of glucocorticoids as "pressors" and yet when they're lacking patients are at great risk for shock. Let's have a look.
Given that we work with our fabulous trainees every day, I suppose we have to ask: If 72% have failed, are we training them well (in my view, we are), are they good enough (in my view, the majority are) or is there a problem with the exam? I'll leave you to decide

1/This account was created in the summer purely to celebrate good news stories and positive feedback about our unit. We were proud of our team and how they had responded to unprecedented challenges in the first wave of COVID. Criticism should not be anonymous and is not our role.
Latest paper from RECOVERY trial: In patients admitted to hospital with COVID-19, lopinavir–ritonavir did not reduce 28-day mortality, duration of hospital stay, or risk of progressing to invasive mechanical ventilation or death. thelancet.com/journals/lance…
