I wonder how many patients with orally/diet controlled diabetes we pushed over the edge with steroids for sepsis that are now insulin dependent? Lots, I'm guessing.
@@medic2807 can you explain more? I come from Costa Rica, no LR there so mainly saline. With saline you can put in meds into the infusion bag. Is that what you mention about LR: that with LR you cannot and got to pause it?

The fact that Lactated Ringer is more expensive than NS always got me...
I usually start LR. There's much benefit of using it over NS. The nurses hate it because they have to stop it to push Rocephin, but oh well...
