New NICE guidelines on Mx of aneurysmal SAH:

So far a few things have jumped out - recommedation not to use TCD outwith clinical trials, and a general sense of surprise on the lack of contemporary trial evidence for use of nimodipine for DCI prophylaxis.

WRT nimodipine none of the orig trials included the kind of pts i look after in the ICU, many of whom have multi organ dysfucntion.

@RosieICM 10 years! Congratulations. 9 years ago I had the privilege of being your trainee. Still learning from you now every time I have a tricky #neuroicu case :)

Ten years ago today I started as a brand new consultant in Intensive Care Medicine - so seems like an auspicious day to send my first post from a brand new Mastodon server dedicated to all things critical care! Really hoping critcare.social builds community and connection between all of us working in critical care.

My interests include #neuroICU, #PoCUS and #QualitativeResearch . My dog (who isn’t on here yet!) is an ICU #TheraPet and will hopefully pop up here from time to time..
