From 2008: compensation formulas in respiratory acid base disorders. Source data in ref 3 (from 1998). The uncertainty of the formulas (standard error is 5mM) is underappreciated in clinical practice (1 kPa = 7.5 mmHg) & we end up hunting for zebras.

This is interesting - providing individualised antibiotic plans safely reduces #carbapenem prescriptions.
But isn't this just what happens in specialties, like #hematology or #intensivecare, that get regular #microbiology / #infectiousdisease #MDT review of their #antibiotic prescriptions?
