Show Notes

Today we are joined by Dr. Brian Locke to talk about multiple new critical care trials, including the CLASSIC trial of a restrictive vs standard fluid strategy, the LOVIT trial of vitamin C in septic shock, and the PREPARE-II trial of fluid bolus at the time of intubation to prevent cardiovascular collapse. We also look at whether 72 hours of antibiotics are safe in patients with neutropenic fever, whether hospitalist workload affects patient length of stay, and what kind of careers general internists are pursuing over the last decade.
