Thank you! We’re very excited to start sharing updates about SAMBA (and our upcoming #SAMBA2021 ) with you all on Twitter, and hearing from acute medics about how we can make SAMBA work for you SAM Online Dan Lasserson Chris Subbe Cat Atkin Tim Cooksley TomKnight
Jacob de Wolff 🇳🇱🚲☕️ Tim Cooksley Shai Adam Seccombe Sarb Clare MBE SAM Online @AcuteMedEd Dan Lasserson Ben Lovell Harry Ahmed Chris Subbe Matt Inada-Kim ICNARC Cat Atkin Absolutely spot on. At a unit level insights from a single day are limited, but, in the aggregate it provides an unparalleled “state of the (acute medical) nation”. Longitudinal data and/or linkage with other datasets the way forward. We have a great foundation to build on.

Manoj Wickramasinghe Resuscitation Council UK Ashley Miller Jonny Wilkinson Most people with sepsis have only modestly reduced total body water (sweating, tachypnoea). Vasodilation and extravasation as well as cardiac impairment are jointly the cause for hypotension. Which is why too much fluid is barmy. Adam Seccombe
Today’s the day! Looking forward to getting our acute medicine family together. Let’s do this! #SAMGlasgow
Massive congratulations to Dan Beckett
and colleagues who have put together a great programme for #SAMGlasgow .
Feels bittersweet watching it at home but so pleased that it's still on.
Prof Singhal thinks he is an acute physician, and that this gives him the right to take pot shots at the entire specialty.
He exhibits a breathtaking lack of insight. A CTPA may be indicated... SAM Online
The use of POCUS in acute care is growing. SAMBA highlights variability in access to both equipment and trained staff in UK acute medical units. Room for improvement Dan Lasserson @acutemedswbh Nick Smallwood SAM Online acutemedjournal.co.uk/original-artic…

Ali Maddock @DrBen_GT Jon Hilton 6. Lactate and base excess tell you almost nothing about how much fluid to give.
7. Most elevated lactate is not causes by insufficient oxygen delivery at a microvascular level.
8. Ask patients about thirst but not if they're also hypernatraemic.
9. Maintenance fluid at night? No
Ali Maddock @DrBen_GT Jon Hilton 1. We are incapable of determining 'volume status' clinically except in extreme circumstances.
2. The history matters quite a lot.
3. Saline is usually okay.
4. There is no such thing as colloid osmotic pressure.
5. Too much fluid is sometimes worse than too little.
