maria25+FollowYour Poop Could Predict Survival?!Wild science alert: doctors have created a 'metabolic dysbiosis score' (MDS) that uses your poop to predict if critically ill patients are at higher risk of dying within 30 days. Basically, they found certain gut imbalances are linked to higher mortality—way more than just low microbiome diversity. It’s not ready for hospitals yet, but this could totally change how we treat ICU patients in the future. Who knew your gut could spill such serious secrets? #MedicalScience #GutHealth #ICU #Health #BodyHealth161Share
Douglas Robinson+FollowICUs Missing Key Blood Thinner Protocols?Did you know over 80% of ICUs don’t have a set plan for reversing blood thinners in critical patients? A global survey found most hospitals are basically winging it when it comes to handling major bleeds from antithrombotic meds. Only 17% have ICU-specific protocols, and practices are all over the place depending on the drug and the country. It’s wild—no wonder experts are calling for clear, evidence-based guidelines ASAP! #ICU #PatientSafety #MedicalNews #Healthcare #CriticalCare #Health00Share
William Vasquez+FollowICU COVID Superinfections: The Real RiskTurns out, catching a bacterial infection on top of COVID-19 in the ICU is a big deal. This study found that these 'superinfections' seriously up the risk of dying and make it harder to get discharged. Enterobacterales and Staph were the main culprits. Wild twist: women were less likely to get these infections, but if they did, their outcomes were worse than men. If you or someone you know is in the ICU with COVID, make sure docs are checking for these sneaky bugs! #COVID19 #ICU #Superinfection #HealthNews #MedicalResearch #Health3211Share
