@ross_prager Nice work. I’d say if you’re waiting till somebody is at 40% FiO2 rather than 50%/8 of PEEP, you’re leaving too many patients intubated for too long. Shoot for that 10-15% reintubation rate and you know you’re liberating enough people…
@FaceThesaurus @armyemdoc@NEJM Key is no difference in functional outcome at 30 days. Would like to see the same functional outcome data out to 6 months, but concur with @armyemdoc, not reaching for the andexanet.
@ResusOne @bougiemedic@fisherad1@CommitteeonTCCC Yeah, maybe. It’s something else to carry. It’s something that’s easily displaced in transport. There’s nothing that says the medic can’t cric the severely injured casualty to get him/her to the next level.
@bougiemedic@fisherad1 @ResusOne @CommitteeonTCCC If you can tolerate a combat prehospital SGA, with the associated absence of sedation, you likely have a devastating injury and your survival is not good. Can’t quote a study at you right now
@armyemdoc Counter-argument, why do I have to work shifts in addition to my full-time gig to stay relevant? Maybe active duty physicians should be the exception, and we should all stay relevant as civilians and be called to serve in times of need.
@armyemdoc Maybe a side conversation here, but my anecdata is that surgeons do not like these agreements. They work as hard or harder than their civilian counterparts, who make 2-3x what they make.
