@NephroP I see! I wasn’t sure their age based on the heart size… was thinking this was of a 1-2 mos old. I appreciate your explanation— it makes sense!

@BrownJHM Esophageal varices? Grade 3?

[Madison Sands MD MS @M_KGS7]

@NephroP ~on US~ (not including pt hx)

[Madison Sands MD MS @M_KGS7]

@NephroP Nice! Incoming intern here—appreciate the learning opportunity. I saw the septum’s and got the four chamber view down…this may be me being nuanced, what are some tips for differentiating a normal case like this versus an ASD or PFO?

[Madison Sands MD MS @M_KGS7]

@Zevenx7 @NephroP PREGANANANTE!?

The results from our DEVICE trial are out in the @NEJM . In this RCT, direct laryngoscopy was inferior to video laryngoscopy for first-pass success.

In fact, it was so inferior that we had to stop the trial early after DSMB review due to the clear benefit of VL.

This is the 🔨 nail in the ⚰️ for DL. While it's an important skill, VL should be the standard when it's available. If it's not available, we need to make it available.

There are thousands of new docs getting ready to start their internship this month. What advice would you give them, #medtwitter? I'll start... sleep is your highest priority, followed by staying in shape and staying connected to friends.

[Madison Sands MD MS @M_KGS7]

@Itsme_Amee Using the TexasStar and Residency Explorer, databases, my initial priorities were saving monies and finding places that might not screen me out due to lower Step 1 scores. Then, I looked into those programs to see if they fit what I was looking for(insert what’s important to you)

[Madison Sands MD MS @M_KGS7]

@j_mee949 Priorities✨

[Madison Sands MD MS @M_KGS7]

@DiLaurentino This is motivation 💪🏽

[Madison Sands MD MS @M_KGS7]

@__DestinyGreen Here for it! Congratulations 💪🏽

🧵regarding some technical points about passing drains or chest tubes through the body wall.

Aside from the normal techniques, we will show what to do with the less common 'trocar' type of drains and chest tubes, and also what the 'pointy' part of the chest tube is for.

@amina_hussian This may be a loop of a question, but where are you at in the process? Have you completed research and feel that it’s ready to publish?

[Madison Sands MD MS @M_KGS7]

@HumeralO I’m on board with this 🫡

[Krisna Maddy, MD, MS @KrisnaSMaddy]

Excited to share our newly published paper: Healthcare disparities in pediatric neurosurgery: a scoping review in @TheJNS Pediatrics: https://t.co/0TVwj6vFZ1

We summarize major themes & provide a roadmap for future research to understand WHY these disparities exist #Neurosurgery

@thaidoctah I’m always in your corner. Periodt. Equally proud of you!
