How can a 99% accurate medical test give you a 9% chance of having the disease if it comes back positive? 🤔 If you are in medicine this is the SINGLE most important diagnostic testing concept to know. Welcome to the difference between specificity and positive predictive value. Sensitivity & specificity are fixed test properties. These do not factor how common a disease is (prevalence) Positive Predictive Value (probability a positive test reflects having a disease) factors in prevalence and is actually more important to clinicians than sens/spec. It is harder to figure out though because we need to have a gestault for how prevalent a disease is for the EXACT patient we are seeing. If you have very low prevalence, even with a great test, most positives are false positives. This is why screening low-risk patients can result in many false positives and harm To master this, just play with the calculator yourself and you will see!!!!👇

Learning hemodynamics is hard. I created a simulator that let's you titrate vasopressors, inotropes, vasodilators, and fluids across different hemodynamic states. How can I make this even more realistic? Still some hemodynamics responses to optimize. Try it and let me know👇

(1/3) The hemodynamic interfaces paradigm proposed by Philippe Rola et al. is probably the most comprehensive paradigm for assessing shock. Not going to lie, its a bit complicated. I comprehensive calculator with theory and practice tips to help you understand the interfaces as part of a NEW project ShockCalcs👇

(1/3) Blakemore insertions for variceal bleeds might seem daunting but typically are straightforward.. Until they aren't. This is the BEST trick I have seen for challenging Blakemore insertions. Use a bougie to help make the tip of the Blakemore more rigid in the posterior oropharynx. This was filmed at a workshop for the #HR2023 conference - come hang out with us again in May 2025 (registration in thread) Here are some more Blakemore tips 🧵

Would anyone actually play this ICU simulation mini-game I created if I polish it up a bit? The premise is you are looking after an ICU. Pages start coming in and you have to keep up by answering the scenarios correct... otherwise, coded!
