Classical example of how shameless, money mongering Indian media houses are. A few months ago they were criticising an institute, today they gave a front page ad. #timesofindia #shamlessmedia

🩻Contrast-induced AKI: one of the biggest myths still shaping clinical decisions For decades we were taught: 👉 “Contrast damages the kidneys” 👉 “Avoid CT with contrast in CKD” 👉 “Hydrate, protect, delay imaging if needed” But what if… most of this is wrong?🤔 ->The uncomfortable reality Modern evidence shows: 👉 Low-osmolar contrast rarely causes true nephrotoxicity 👉 Even in CKD, AKI, and ICU patients 👉 The risk is often overestimated—or nonexistent So where did the fear come from? 📍 1950s high-osmolar contrast (actually toxic) 📍 Poorly controlled observational studies 📍 “Creatinine rise = contrast injury” assumption 👉 Correlation became causation 👉 And the dogma stayed ⚠️What recent data tells us ✔ No difference in AKI rates with vs without contrast ✔ No benefit from bicarbonate, NAC, or aggressive hydration ✔ Even ICU and AKI patients show no worsening outcomes ->Translation to real life 👉 The patient was going to develop AKI anyway...Not because of contrast!! ->The real problem: “Renalism” 👉 Avoiding necessary imaging 👉 Delaying diagnosis 👉 Choosing inferior tests And that leads to: ❌ Missed PE ❌ Delayed sepsis source control ❌ Worse outcomes ->Clinical mindset shift Instead of asking: 👉 “Will contrast harm the kidneys?” We should ask: 👉 “Will NOT doing the scan harm the patient?” ->Who still deserves caution? ✔ eGFR <30 ✔ Severe hemodynamic instability ✔ Multiple nephrotoxins Even then: 👉 Optimize volume 👉 Minimize dose 👉 Don’t delay critical imaging 🤓Bottom line ✔ Contrast nephrotoxicity exists… but is rare ✔ The fear is bigger than the risk ✔ The harm of NOT imaging is often greater In critical care 👉 We don’t treat creatinine 👉 We treat patients And sometimes… 👉 The most dangerous thing is NOT the contrast 👉 It’s hesitation. 📃Reference Florens N, Demiselle J.

🚨New Viewpoint Proud to share our viewpoint published in Indian J Med Res - the flagship journal of @ICMRDELHI with • Road trauma counts among India's most under-recognized public health crises • Propose establishment of a public, real-time, Trauma Dashboard to transform fragmented, delayed reporting into an open, evidence-based system of accountability • Dashboard would integrate cross-verified datasets from police, hospitals, and insurance companies #DashBoard #trauma #carnage #Indianroadways #India #PublicHealth #EvidenceBased ijmr.org.in/real-time-public… @SushilaT36099 @DMavalankar @Dhananjayasha19 @AnantBhan @DrKhan_do @Mundra08 @docVRK @juliomayo @smkaty @theG4Alliance @keithmartinmd @RantingSid @USIEF @SKThakur56 @hayfarani @pash22 @drpiyushENT @drskyind @sanjaynagral @DrAkhilX @aaglobalsurgery @MehrAdeelRiaz

Dr. Sulekha Chaudhary, Pediatrician at CHC Agra, saved a newborn’s life today. 👏🏼❤️ The baby was born without any movement. Oxygen support was given first, but when that didn’t help, Dr. Chaudhary performed mouth-to-mouth resuscitation for nearly 7 minutes and the baby started breathing! A true hero in action. 🫶

Was back last weekend at my alma mater, PGI—this time not as a trainee, but as faculty. Teaching trauma vascular skills on cadavers reminded me how much of surgery is shaped in these halls. A commendable initiative. #Trauma #PGIMER #VascularSurgery @docbagaria @PShivanesandr

Are you taking about this?
