It seems like now that much of the world is practicing social distancing for the immediate future, the opportunity is ripe for innovative entertainment options: pay-per-view live concerts, replay the Super Bowl when the Eagles beat the Pats, other ideas? #FlattenTheCurve

#FlaatenTheCurve great graphic showing the logic of social distancing. #COVID19

Pro/con on electronic sepsis alerts. Strong evidence supports alerts, but resources to implement are not insignificant. Challenge-balance sensitivity, specificity, alert fatigue. My takehome: both speakers showed that when we don’t recognize sepsis, outcomes are worse. #PedsICU

A truly incredible talk by Therese Richmond about the impact of gun violence. Something that impacts us all, regardless of age, race, urban vs rural. #PedsICU shoutout on the secondary impact of gun exposure on children: “injured but not shot” #CCC49

[Julie Fitzgerald @JFitzMD]

@JakeKaneMD Plenary today (Tuesday) at 1:30 on the impact of gun violence on public health! #PedsICU #thisisourlane

[Julie Fitzgerald @JFitzMD]

#pedsCCCbest at #ccc49 included late breakers with LAPSE trial results, Pediatric Pulmonary Star Research Presentations, Emerging Extracorporeal Therapies in the PICU, sepsis guidelines. Many others I’m sure that I missed! #PedsICU

[Ken Tegtmeyer, MD, FCCM, FAAP 🇺🇸 🟧 @pccm_doc]

Hey #PedsICU people at #CCC49 Joy Howell is tasked with compiling a list of the best Peds “topics” at Congress. Please help! Tweet topics you thought were particularly good and use #pedsCCCbest so we can track them (sepsis guidelines a given)

[Julie Fitzgerald @JFitzMD]

Dr. Ayse Akcan-Arikan presenting about extracorporeal therapies for pediatric liver failure - data from Dr. Akash Deep showing association with improved survival when treating with high volume CRRT. Amazing talk! @AkcanArikan #PedsICU

[Julie Fitzgerald @JFitzMD]

Dr. Stu Goldstein speaking on CRRT during ECMO:”Hope is not a strategy”. “We need to prevent fluid overload.” #PedsICU

[Julie Fitzgerald @JFitzMD]

@SapnaKmd Where are the women?

[Julie Fitzgerald @JFitzMD]

Four co-chairs all men. Only one of the topic areas led by a woman. No women presenting the guidelines today despite female authors present at SCCM #CCC49 #PedsICU

[Julie Fitzgerald @JFitzMD]

@DrGKeim @CWoodsHillMD @AlexisTopjian Thanks Dr. Keim! You are an amazing intensivist!

I’m sad to miss this panel of men discussing the new #sepsis #guidelines at #sccm. Presenting a poster concurrently. Would love to have representation of any of the amazing women that contributed to this research and work.
