Interestingly, 1/3rd of patients admitted with CAP in ICU where pathogens could be identified are due to some respiratory viruses. And mortality due to viral and bacterial pathogens are same.pic.twitter.com/k6BZ1voYBd

Unfortunately we do not have enough resources to diagnose viral pneumonia or identify specific viral pathogen. Neither it is cost-effective in today's scenario, when there ia a very limited treatment option.pic.twitter.com/KHaFi0v3bp
I use low dose corticosteroids for specific indications in my Swine Influenza patients.
1. Acute severe asthma precipitated by H1N1.
2. Septic shock.
3. Severe ARDS - very early.

This is an evidence free zone. Why not include tamiflu and add Vit c?
Have huge respect for @PaulMarik . But can’t say, I’m great believer of his cocktail. But may be in future with more evidence.
I have to say...being the ‘naughty one’ here..just because you don’t have any evidence for something you see anecdotally works, doesn’t mean you should stop that practice if outcomes seem better. As long as there is no harm as a result....
You have a point. Especially if the treatment is not a very costly one and you have some biological plausibility to justify your treatment.
I’m not sure about the biological plausibility of Marik Cocktail.
Biological plausibility has been a big problem in the past, though! EGDT seemed to have physiological basis; as did Short Synacthen, Tight glucose, and Xigris Most important people lesson for me: Single centre enthusiast led trials need bigger confirmation studies
is EGDT the right comparison? it’s rapid adoption transformed usual care in sepsis...
Changed its Cinderella status. But the magic bullet of EGDT was never replicated. Early recognition of sepsis & treatment is not the same as EGDT. IMO
right- EGDT worked for the wrong reasons but wasn’t it’s rapid, premature adoption the impetus for early recognition and treatment, and subsequently significant improvements in mortality? (before my time to be honest)
tight glucose control- because now we do try and keep glucose under better control than the 90s The key is that EDGT conclusions were never replicated. Between them these studies show that flawed studies and wrong interpretation sometimes helps people
In other words, EGDT did not work. But having people interested in sepsis treating patients did.
