Take home points: ✅ Prescribe IV fluid with the care you would warfarin ✅ Achieve euvolaemia, then sit on your hands ✅ If urine output or BP stays low think “Is a different approach needed here?” rather than autoreaching for more IV fluid ✅ Break your AKI ➡️ fluid reflex

Dear friends and colleagues, It is with overwhelming sadness that we share news of the death of our colleague, mentor and friend, Rinaldo Bellomo. During recent days, both he and his family have received dedicated, expert and compassionate care from some of the finest in our ICU community. We share their pain and sense of loss. Over several decades, Rinaldo has made a profound and enduring impact on ICU practice in Australia, New Zealand and around the world. As a passionate researcher he challenged conventions, championed evidence-based practice in the care of the critically ill and supported countless colleagues in their research careers. As a compassionate mentor, colleague and friend, he touched and enriched numerous lives, and will be greatly missed. His loss will affect our whole community and in due course there will be opportunities to come together to celebrate his life. This will be a difficult time for many, but we know that our memories of Rinaldo’s relentless enthusiasm, warmth, optimism and boundless energy will help us all through the weeks ahead. In lieu of flowers, Rinaldo's family would welcome donations to support his research legacy at austin-health-community-fund… Our sincere condolences and best wishes go out to his family, friends and colleagues. Craig Carr, on behalf of the ANZICS community

In ICUs across the country we intubated and palliated colleagues, while protecting ourselves from them with PPE they were denied. The corruption and wastage of this government will stay with me for a long time. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cll4…
