TLDR:❌Low preload does NOT mean fluid responsive!

Surprising results from the FRAIL-AF trial presented today at#ESC2023.
Switching from VKA to DOAC ➡️ 69% higher rate of bleeding!
Is this because the DOAC most used was rivaroxaban?
Or do frail patients benefit from frequent INR checks & close monitoring?

Great article placing the spotlight on acute care performance from an Acute Medicine perspective. A “build it and they will come” approach to new care models is headless. Research urgently needed to better understand what works, where and for who. bmj.com/content/382/bm…

Pleased to be able to share our paper with Robert Barker and team SAMBA evaluating predictive value of NEWS2 in care home residents on admission to hospital

Great work from the SAMBA team. The predictive value of NEWS2 in care home patients admitted acutely published in JAMDA.
