1/9 🤔 Why doesn't an elevated BUN lead to extreme thirst? If increased serum osmolarity compels us to seek water, uremia should be a significant driver of this craving. And yet, it isn't. Let's examine why.

We need in-house free VPA levels everywhere, STAT for our SE pts. With total levels, what you see 👀 is NOT what you get 👺📈

Intrigued by the PROPHY-VAP trial? Don’t miss this interview with author Claire Dahyot-Fizelier, MD, Ph.D. Great insights including this key takeaway: it’s not a blanket approach—consider inclusion/exclusion criteria for application in practice. Tune in for the full conversation! bit.ly/4eYuwUs

⬆️ ICP means avoiding central catheterization of internal jugular due to ⬇️ venous return, right? Wrong, according to work by my colleagues! @emoryneurocrit.bsky.social "Contrary to classic teaching ... IJ CVC placement was not associated with increased ICP" pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39592540/

💫 Practical advice for intraventricular meds (Part 1): 🔎 Determine the volume of the EVD lumen, from med access site to catheter tip. That’s your flush volume. It’s like a small chaser (usually 2-3 mL) to ensure the entire dose goes in smoothly. 💉🧠 #Pharmsky #Pharm2Table #neurocrit

📣 🛑 Don’t combine these two drugs! More VPA levels & higher doses won’t solve the issue. It’s often easier to choose a different antibiotic than adjust a patient’s AED regimen, which may need EEG—hard to get in resource-limited settings. Neuro, ID, & Pharm must collaborate. #IDsky #Pharmsky #Medsky
