How do we prevent drug errors? @AmyPearsonMD discusses the tragic examples of intrathecal administration of tranexamic acid

Potential solutions have to consider human factors and system factors and barriers to Implementation #CSAFallConf25

◾️In Memoriam of Robert H. Bartlett, MD 1939-2025
Without Dr. Bartlett, there is no ECMO: he saved more than 100,000 patients through his life’s work. He changed the world.
He will forever be the Father of ECMO.

Looking forward to presenting on advancing your career using social media today at @UABAnesthesia

Do my #MedTwitter friends still think you get the same mileage from social media as in years past?

I think how we ask pts about pain during cesarean matters. I’m skeptical of methodology that directly asks about “pain” or “sharp pain.” In Litman et al (https://t.co/rQShzNjoAM) @emilysharpe and I used a VAS scale and didn’t tell pts that 30 mm =pain. #OBAnes

Great new expert review in AJOG outlining the key considerations for pain management during cesarean delivery!

“You should be grateful you had a healthy baby. You should be grateful you survived.”

Tracey Vogel, MD, explains that #trauma can happen despite good medical outcomes, and the reverse is true, too.

VV #ECMO cannulation by intensivists?
🔍 533 cannulation events (in-center + remote) in established 🇺🇸 #ECLS program
⚖️ cannulation by nonsurgeon noninferior to that by cardiothoracic surgeons with respect to complications
🪦 in-hospital mortality 29%, no significant difference between groups
🚧 complications more common if viral respiratory failure, higher BMI, if cannulation sites other vs RIJV or RFV (2 most commonly used/preferred sites)
Flexible/multidisciplinary model for ECMO delivery are safe! Results reinforce @SCCM & @ELSOOrg guidance + support feasibility of expanding intensivist roles in appropriately structured programs.

Is the incidence of chronic postsurgical pain after caesarean delivery truly low or do we still not know how to evaluate and report it adequately?

Given that cardiogenic shock tends to carry a higher mortality rate than septic shock, finding strategies to help improve outcomes is worth the effort. A shock team could be helpful to guide the management of these patients. 🎩 tip to the authors.

A great review by @icmteaching, @Wilkinsonjonny and Dr Kasal discussing the use of #POCUS in the four phases of shock

BTW, nice blend of (patho-)physiology references & bedside applications!

How common is pain during cesarean under neuraxial? Our review, published in @_Anesthesiology showed it to be v common, overall 17% (95%CI: 13% – 22%. Spinal anesthesia had the lowest pooled incidence of 14% (95%CI: 10% – 20% Epidural top-up highest of 33% (95%CI: 17% - 54%

[Stanford Anesthesiology @stanfordanes]

New research from Stanford’s Dr. Pervez Sultan compares IV treatments for shivering after C-section with neuraxial anesthesia—an issue affecting over half of patients. A systematic review of 20 trials (1,983 patients) ranks the most effective options.

Esophageal manometry is a tool I’ve learned about but have never seen in practice. I welcome thoughts and opinions from those with more experience as to whether this should be routinely used. 🎩 tip to the authors.
