Negative study. INO at 50 ppm via NC didn't improve anything for pt with prox PE with rv dysfxn. @OrenFriedman @jameshorowitzmd

[Kevin C. Ma @KevinMaMD]

@edschenck @EM_RESUS I think he's trying to ask for a bronch intubation on bipap

@theroguetomato Lounge access via PriorityPass? Or some other service?

[Kevin C. Ma @KevinMaMD]

@edschenck @OrenFriedman just need to adjust enough to get published

[Kevin C. Ma @KevinMaMD]

@OrenFriedman @edschenck I think propensity matching matches patients with equal likelihood of receiving Tx or Not. Helps with confounders

[Kevin C. Ma @KevinMaMD]

@Doclief did you try turning it off and on again.

[Kevin C. Ma @KevinMaMD]

@edschenck @Doclief @jameshorowitzmd @PulmCrit @emcrit annoying that prep field usually only lets you do one or the other but not both

[Kevin C. Ma @KevinMaMD]

@OrenFriedman @BrendonStilesMD @FMaeWestMD @precordialthump @Doclief @jameshorowitzmd Prob useful when fam expectations =/= reality.

@DentonGavin @TheResusRoom With a bronch tower in our unit, I can be rdy for bronch tube in 10 min. Same time it takes RN to get meds.

@DentonGavin @TheResusRoom How about not making them apneic at all? https://t.co/MhoFUMu5s5

@OtisBRickman Only 60% used radial EBUS as part of procedure? Given imperfections of the system, R-EBUS seems like a vital component of EMNB

[Kevin C. Ma @KevinMaMD]

@Doclief OK, wanted to clarify that point. Part of the show to sell the DNR

[Kevin C. Ma @KevinMaMD]

@Doclief @BrendonStilesMD @drnikkistamp @Eleytherius @ketaminh @precordialthump @OrenFriedman @jameshorowitzmd @edschenck For all patients?

[Kevin C. Ma @KevinMaMD]

Should we treat subsegmental PEs? https://t.co/69zDty653k @jameshorowitzmd @OrenFriedman @Doclief @edschenck @PERTConsortium

This is what infusion through a tibial I/O Line looks like!

@FMaeWestMD @BrendonStilesMD @Doclief @OrenFriedman @PulmCrit @PulmCCM Richard Light would say probably not. https://t.co/yeCB5Ol0uh

@Doclief @BrendonStilesMD @OrenFriedman @PulmCrit @PulmCCM We've had impressive improvements in sx 1 day post VATS for good candidates.

#APRV is a semantically challenged pressure control. Peep high= Pinsp; Peep low = peep; Release = exhalation @KevinMaMD @PulmCrit thoughts?
