Follow up to last two tweetorial on #EEG
https://t.co/UXanU6rp2m
Let’s get back to EEG tutorial. In the previous #EEG #tweetorial -chapter -1 & 2a we learned about the #EEGbasic -about how EEG waves are generated,captured and displayed on monitor with basics about EEG interpretation. Today will focus on EEG interpretation chapter 2b -cont..

there's been LOTS of back-and-forth about vaso in sepsis (e.g., these two 2025 review articles reach totally different conclusions! Lajoye is correct IMHO) TLDR: there is no simple answer; personalize tx 🌌 my current take on vaso in sepsis is here https://t.co/uLT6mpfJrG

. @icmteaching @khaycock2 @ArgaizR Have you seen this notching/systolic spike accentuation in patients with cirrhosis? I think it's a manifestation of intense renal vasoconstriction (as in HRS pathophysiology +/- other similar insults).

Echocardiography is one of the most complex medical image sets to analyze, with multiple views + cardiac motion. A new @Nature paper shows how A.I. can do that and provide accurate reports @David_Ouyang

🧵 HYPOXEMIA: The ICU Masterclass 1️⃣ Start with the foundation Hypoxemia = low PaO2 in arterial blood (mmHg). Hypoxia = low oxygen at tissues. A patient can have SpO2 99, Hb 5 and lactate 7. This is hypoxia despite normal saturation. ❓ SpO2 98 but lactate rising. What

I still see 0ּּ·9% sodium chloride being used for resuscitation, and amazingly even for maintenance fluid. Let’s take a look at one important aspect of that. The huge salt burden in just one litre.

@Rajiv_Sinanan @NephroP Great question 👇 1️⃣ Chronic oedema / high-compliance interstitium Chronically stretched tissues can hold more fluid without a rise in interstitial pressure (Pi). That blunts the passive driving force for lymph flow. Drainage continues via intrinsic lymphatic pumping but is

❓What does this clip show? Answer: Large circumferential pericardial effusion (subcostal view). 🧠 Learning tip: Don’t wait for textbook tamponade. Before hypotension or tachycardia appear — can you already recognize the RA or RV collapse that signals rising pericardial

Electrical Rotation of the Heart An underrated concept in ECG interpretation Despite the name, “rotation” does not mean the heart is physically turning. Instead, electrical rotation refers to the position of the QRS transition zone across the precordial (V1–V6) leads. It

Thank you @BharatJagiasi sir for busting this myth! Cerebral vasospasm leads to secondary brain injury in various clinical conditions apart from sub-arachnoid hemorrhage. It's important to know about this complication and remain vigilant to prevent catastrophic ischemia/infarcts.
✅ Monday Myth Buster! Vasospasm is NOT just an SAH problem. TBI, ICH, meningitis & post-neurosurgery patients are all at risk — and delayed recognition can cost brain tissue. Let’s widen our lens, monitor smarter, and

1️⃣ We can remove fluid at rates up to 12 mL/kg/h and blood pressure often holds. That limit isn’t arbitrary – it comes from dialysis data showing steep rises in hypotension and mortality above it. It marks the upper boundary of how fast plasma can be refilled from the
