Is needle decompression potentially lifesaving? Yes.
Can you cause harm if you swing and miss? Also, yes.
This study was recently published in @JSOMonline, where they studied the chest wall thickness of 200 trauma patients. They found that when using an 83mm needle, pericardium was within reach 75% of the time. However, this study was limited as these findings are only anatomic. It's still not clear how much injury a needle this size would cause for the muscular pericardium.

This why another randomized trial without ecpr comparing to controls is unethical!!The question now is what is the optimal system to deploy ecpr for refractory arrest. Not if it works!
Pendellufting of air changes throughout time and the true plateau pressure is likely less than what we measure. This is why inspiratory time is the smartest way to recruit alveoli. If you put 100 people in a normal sized home, eventually they will all find a place to sleep.
Finally a day to get out and decompress. Great day at the range with some awesome coffee. Whatever you do to relax please make time for it. Recording @FOAMfrat RSIPodcast episode in about an hour. New episode to air for Father’s Day.
Happy Memorial Day! Please remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice and the families they left behind. Check out the latest from @FOAMfrat where you get to meet Austin Brook.

Thank you for your honest talk about mental wellness. #FAST22
One of my greatest mentors @christifulli88 breaks down stigma around struggles with anxiety by showing just a little vulnerability. Calls us to balance clinical excellence with taking care of each other.
