The carer took £825 from someone she was employed to look after
A Lanarkshire carer has been given a warning for exploiting a 'vulnerable' service user for her own financial gain.
While working as a care assistant in Lanark in February 2021, she provided a service user with the details of her Paypal account when she had 'no valid reason for doing so'.Later that day she accepted the first transfer of £50 with the description "thanks". A few days later she accepted a transfer of £20 with the description "if you need more just ask x".
She also provided the service user with her personal mobile number and began sending regular text messages asking for money or discussing money.A report by the SSSC found that her behaviour amounted to an abuse of trust and placed the service user at risk of "financial and emotional harm."

An updated “norepinephrine equivalent” score in intensive care as a marker of shock severity - Critical CareVasopressors and fluids are the cornerstones for the treatment of shock. The current international guidelines on shock recommend norepinephrine as the first-line vasopressor and vasopressin as the second-line vasopressor. In clinical practice, due to drug availability, local practice variations, special settings, and ongoing research, several alternative vasoconstrictors and adjuncts are used in the absence of precise equivalent doses. Norepinephrine equivalence (NEE) is frequently used in clinical trials to overcome this heterogeneity and describe vasopressor support in a standardized manner. NEE quantifies the total amount of vasopressors, considering the potency of each such agent, which typically includes catecholamines, derivatives, and vasopressin. Intensive care studies use NEE as an eligibility criterion and also an outcome measure. On the other hand, NEE has several pitfalls which clinicians should know, important the lack of conversion of novel vasopressors such as angiotensin II and also adjuncts such as methylene blue, including a lack of high-quality data to support the equation and validate its predictive performance in all types of critical care practice. This review describes the history of NEE and suggests an updated formula incorporating novel vasopressors and adjuncts.
