Lightning rounds #8: Five things you’re getting wrong

* Are diuretic infusions more effective than intermittent boluses?* Are antipsychotic (neuroleptic) agents a good treatment for ICU delirium?* Is pressure control or volume control a better form of assist control?* Does renal failure cause chronically elevated troponin levels due to impaired troponin clearance?* If a patient squeezes your hand, does that mean they heard and followed your command?
