The construction of the new Cambridge South rail station 🚊 is progressing well 👏 …opening in 2025 the station will improve access 🚝 to @RoyalPapworth (and @CamBioCampus) for staff 🩺 and patients 🏥 and relatives coming to Cambridge from the north ✅ and the south ✅👍

🧵 What is Critical Closing Pressure — and why does it matter for perfusion? A thread to clear up one of the most misused and misunderstood ideas in circulatory physiology. 👇

1/ Not all heart failure is low-output. Sometimes the heart pumps harder than ever — and still fails. High-output failure explained 🧵 #FOAMed #MedX

1/ SVR looks precise: (MAP – RAP)/CO. But this neat number hides traps. It’s not “afterload,” it’s not pure “tone,” and sometimes it’s not even valid. A thread on why systemic vascular resistance misleads — and when it still helps. 🧵 #MedX

17/ Want to dive deeper? 📘 Anderson’s Gross Physiology of the Cardiovascular System is free, clear, and game changing: cardiac-output.info/Cardiovascular… 🎥 And this 22-minute demonstration is essential: youtu.be/0bntSIg2Aqk?fe…

The Determinants of Cardiac Output (Remastered w/ full captions)
At least enjoy the views if you’re not enamoured with another Pog exhibition. You‘ve got three months of velodromes & mud starting in a week.
If you’re going to read one thing today, this should be it.
🧵 The Cardiac Function Curve — why it misleads (Part 1) 1/ The cardiac function curve is one of the most recognisable images in physiology. Unfortunately, it’s also one of the most misdrawn, mislabelled, and misunderstood. Let’s redraw it — and see what it really tells us about…

1/ Most people think the heart drives circulation. But what if that’s backwards? Anderson’s model flips the whole idea of cardiac output on its head — and it changes how you think about fluid, flow, and failure. 🧵👇 #physiology #FOAMed #MedTwitter #criticalCare #cardiacOutput

One of the most famous graphs in haemodynamics might be teaching the wrong lesson. This picture is everywhere in critical care — but it misleads more than it helps. Full thread coming soon. #MedX #FOAMed

I hear a lot of BS at the moment - BS that goes “What does an EM clinician actually do? What value are they?” This from @EMManchester pretty much sums it up and separates us from other doctors. It’s what makes us unique in terms of decision making in medicine. #eusem2025

Dr. Stephan von Düring and Dr. Eddy Fan discuss their research on the association between mechanical power within the first 24 hours and ICU mortality in adult patients with acute hypoxemic respiratory failure who are mechanically ventilated. Listen now: hubs.la/Q03Ld6jC0

Cannulate... but not too late! #ECPR demonstration ongoing at #ELSO2025!! Extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation may improve outcome in refractory CA if 🎓done with a high #ECLS experience (it could be considered the most difficult mode of ECMO) ⚖️ patients are selected…




Thank you @Medtronic for supporting our @NHSBartsHealth ECMO course with their excellent new simulation centre. I call it the ECMOBus. 🎵the ECMO Bus is coming 🎵
