Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) have become an integral component of diabetes care
American Diabetes Association now recommends that CGMs be offered to all patients on insulin who can use the device safely
Integrating CGMs into clinical practice can be challenging for several reasons: – Data overload – Cost – Need for education on data interpretation

The risk of surgical site infections post spine surgery is 0% to 18%.1
• American Society of Health System Pharmacists (ASHP) and Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) Society guidelines recommend using an agent with activity against the most common surgical site pathogens including Staphylococcus aureus. 2,3
• The preferred agent is cefazolin 2 grams intravenous (IV) (3 grams if patient weighs ≥120 kilograms [kg]) administered 30 minutes prior to skin incision and re-dosed every four hours intraoperatively.2,3
• In the case of a cephalosporin allergy, clindamycin 900 milligrams (mg) IV or vancomycin 15 mg/kg IV are recommended alternatives.2,3
• Due …

• Steroids are used in shock to minimize the impact of shock-induced dysregulation of inflammatory response – Hydrocortisone is preferred for its activity as a glucocorticoid and a mineralocorticoid • Available data on the use of hydrocortisone shows mixed benefit – Data to guide dosing is limited, use of 100 mg IV every 8 hours may have benefit over 50 mg IV every 6 hours • Use of steroids has been associated with potential risks, including gastrointestinal bleeding, hyperglycemia, hypernatremia, superinfection, etc.

INTRODUCTION: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections are associated with prolonged hospital length of stay and mortality rates up to 20%. Risk factors for MRSA and presumed type of infection often guide vancomycin prescribing. This study evaluated the presence of MRSA risk factors in emergent and critically ill patients who received vancomycin therapy. METHODS: This retrospective study evaluated emergent and critically ill patients who received vancomycin for at least 24 hours for a presumed infection from 1/2020—3/2020. Patients were excluded if vancomycin was administered for surgical prophylaxis. Patients were divided into groups: MRSA Risk (MRSA-R) vs MRSA No Risk (MRSA-NR). MRSA …
