About this episode
Today we are joined by Dr. Brian Locke to talk about the newest big trial on IV fluids in critically ill patients and a meta-analysis that looks at all the similar trials. Is this question finally settled?
We also look at PICC lines vs midlines, IV L-ornithine L-aspartate in acute treatment of hepatic encephalopathy, a new ward-based program for delirium prevention in older inpatients, post-discharge thromboprophylaxis for high risk COVID patients, and whether mindfulness training can help burnout in residents.
