Which is better? Lactated Ringer’s solution or normal saline? The latest video in our partnership with Dr. Glaucomflecken summarizes the FLUID trial. 👉

@DGlaucomflecken More! More academic paper summaries like this. *This* is how results should be presented. Not in Fcuking PowerPoint blue. If you’re confident in your results - Act Them Out! 🫡👏

@DGlaucomflecken Nephrologists do not like Lactated Ringer’s, yes, but I think they probably do like isotonic saline. … and the kidneys seem to like it too, most especially in pre-renal AKI to prevent ischemic ATN.

@DGlaucomflecken I never thought I’d see the day where NEJM posting skits. WAT

@DGlaucomflecken My chief of medicine called Dr Shires and asked why he had used Ringer’s solution in the original study looking at “obligate anuria for several days postop. The answer was “that was what was in the supply closet.” I got this straight from my chief Solomon Papper MD

@ochiengmd @DGlaucomflecken Except for TBI patients, who do better with normal saline, assessed in bigger numbers in the BEST-Living trial
