Patient arrived to the ED with a known and not unexpected issue post recent surgery and the surgeon Epic chatted me without me calling (I was waiting for labs) about ten minutes into her ED visit! How absolutely wonderful!

Is there anything better than a satisfying shoulder reduction with just some intraartic lido and some gentle traction ? ED LOS <1 hour

I'm gonna ride that high allllll day

Last day of fellowship but Shelley was eager to hang out in the cath lab for some ECMO

remember: PaCO2 > etCO2

targeting etCO2 30-35 will generally put the paCO2 into the 35-50 range (safe)

so, the safety of hypercapnia supports the safety of etCO2 monitoring

don't phlebotomize patients to fine-tune something that doesn't matter (2/2)

Why is transferring my sleeping newborn out of the car seat one of the most stressful things I've ever done?

Baby did great at her first sim lab!
Proud mama today ☺️

ICU stories (a brief one): A 40+ yo pt w hx of bipolar disorder/asthma/GERD/HTN was brought to the ED by EMS after his wife found him lethargic ("altered mental status"). Apparently, he had spent the previous 2 days isolated in his forest cabin. Upon ED arrival, he was obtunded

@rxtoriarsenault Draw norepinephrine off the bag directly for 32 mcg/mL and push 0.5-2mL. Easy, fast, avoids math.

I ran into a former colleague today whom I haven’t seen in 2 years (while 36 weeks pregnant). He casually says “Hey, what you been up to?!”. I look down at my belly and say “this”. He pulls up his phone and shows me this

Successful first CCM sim day for the pulm crit fellows!

[UCSF Fresno ECMO @UCSFFresnoECMO]

Greetings, #MedTwitter! This is the official twitter account of UCSF Fresno ECMO program. We will periodically be posting ECMO tweetorials as well as sharing consented &/or de-identified patient stories.

First tweetorial dropping tomorrow morning. Stay tuned!

[Maura Walsh @MauraWalshEMCCM]

@cjosephy @DrSamuelBrown Totally agree! "Signed off" at five is probably one of my biggest pet peeves. You know where things are in the kit at that point. 20-30 starts to hit competency IMO

@emily_fri Not Pulm but CCM and yes if emergent - three in the last year
