@alyx @thor It’s still impressive that the kidneys produce an initial ultrafiltrate of 180L(!) per day, but after lots of work in resorbing as much as possible of what we need, we only end up peeing on average 1.5L per day.

Det som er litt ergerlig med Ola Borten Moes avgang pga insidehandel er at dette overskygger hans renommé som en legendarisk dårlig minister for forskning og høyere utdanning og som delaktig i en famøs episode med sextrakkasering/mysogyni. #Norsktut #norskpolitikk #allheimen

@EU_Commission It's utterly depressing to me that I live in one of the most climate sceptic country in Europe, where only 61% believe climate change is manmade. Our massive electric vehicle fleet is utter greenwashing. @rombarthelemy

It finally happened: I had to argue against Chat-GPT who my patient had chosen as their advisor in matters of health

I did a talk for cardiologists about #criticalcareecho, emphasising the difference between outpstient/normal data and the critical ill. Supeisingly well recieved and I’ll reiterate my main points: - Most important use for echo in critical illness is differentiating shock types, and detecting “black swan” conditions like LVOT obstruction and acute valvular pathologies - Always combine echo with clinical findings. 1/#echocardiography #CriticalCare #physiology

- Normal values make no sense in the critical ill as they depend on normal load conditions and heart rate. - Change in values over time is more relevant than absolute values. - Beware that tamponade behaves differently in positive pressure ventilation (E-wave variation decreases? Rather than increases)- If you really need to know CVP or PCWP, measure them invasively, echo is a wild guess. - A combination of cardiac index, SVR and EF is very informative 2/

- Echo cannot differentiate between venoplegia and true hypovolemia as cause of low preload. - Look beyond the heart for signs of congestion!3/fin
