Love this. 😍 BLING randomised trials showed benefit of continuous antibiotic infusion, and there you go, change in practice is delivered! 👏 @ics-updates.bsky.social @biainfection.bsky.social #IDSky #ClinMicro #sepsis
A simple shift in NHS critical care practice is set to save more lives from #Sepsis. The @ICS_updates & @BritInfectAssoc now recommend continuous infusion for key antibiotics over intermittent dosing. Evidence shows increased 90-day survival. We urge all hospitals to adopt this practice immediately

Musculoskeletal infections pose challenges for ID providers. We created an online library & podcast to enhance understanding of microbiology & treatment. 📚🎧 #idsky
Enhancing the Care of Patients with Bone and Joint Infections through Educational Interventions
AbstractMusculoskeletal infections represent a significant proportion of clinical workload for infectious diseases (ID) providers, often presenting complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Many providers may feel inadequately prepared to manage these conditions, which require a nuanced understanding of microbiology, musculoskeletal anatomy, surgical intervention, and orthopedic hardware. We implemented a pair of educational interventions including an online library of high-yield musculoskeletal ID literature and an educational podcast.
