It’s a question I’ve been asking since the end of January and have yet to hear a satisfactory answer. https://t.co/C7XkJbPBGH

A physician being an anti-vaxxer is the cognitive disconnect akin to a geologist being a flat earther.

[Nick Mark MD @nickmmark]

🤔 I guess that could be true

[Dr. Fiona Mattatall 🪩🇨🇦 @FionaMattatall]

Truth.

[Prof Peter Hotez MD PhD DSc(hon) @PeterHotez]

Measles is a bad actor, I worked with @billmarshnyt @nytimes we graphically represented what happens when 10,000 kids contract measles including 2,000 hospitalizations also permanent injuries or even death from virus VS the minuscule, pinprick side effects of vaccines: No Contest

@pccm_doc @AG_EM33 As a fellow millennial, I was the one in the back laughing loudly at that comment.

[Ken Tegtmeyer, MD, FCCM, FAAP 🇺🇸 🟧 @pccm_doc]

This was my favorite quote from @AG_EM33’s talk, but her BF pointed out her asking her mostly middle/older aged transplant support group “so, are you guys on tinder” was probably better. #SCCM2024 #PedsICU

[Mark Dexter @PedsDocDex]

Although the audience member who advocated for I/O balance replacing pain as the fifth vital sign may be my new hero! #SCCM2024

[Mark Dexter @PedsDocDex]

Love hearing @traumamd1’s concept of “permissive oliguria.” We sometimes focus way too much in pediatrics on 1 mL/kg/hr of UOP and our usual knee-jerk reaction is to give more fluid in. #SCCM2024

[Mark Dexter @PedsDocDex]

Yup. #SCCM2024

[Mark Dexter @PedsDocDex]

We’re intensivists. Of course we’re going to drink all the coffee in a three block radius of the convention center. #SCCM2024

[Tricia Pendergrast, MD @trpender]

I actually need this on a t-shirt...

[Mark Dexter @PedsDocDex]

There appears to be a Kawasaki dealer’s convention going on simultaneously with #SCCM2024, and I can’t help but wonder if the surgical/trauma critical care docs weren’t the one who set that up for synergy.

[Mark Dexter @PedsDocDex]

Listening to this presentation on development of vascular access robots, and it feels like watching old episodes of Mythbusters. #SCCM2024

[Mark Dexter @PedsDocDex]

The goal of fluid resuscitation is to increase mean systemic filling pressure, *not* increase CVP. @DrMCecconi #SCCM2024

“Lactate is not a problem. Lactate is a solution for survival of the cells.” - @DrMCecconi #SCCM2024

[Mark Dexter @PedsDocDex]

Really great questions & discussion about new death by neurologic criteria guidelines as part of #SCCM2024.

[Mark Dexter @PedsDocDex]

To my brain, this is the biggest problem with the new criteria, especially if the sedation *we’re* doing is going to give kids a higher point total via depressed GCS. #Phoenix #SCCM2024

[Ken Tegtmeyer, MD, FCCM, FAAP 🇺🇸 🟧 @pccm_doc]

Peters: interventions are somewhat subjective if there are different criteria for intervening #SCCM2024 #PedsICU

[Mark Dexter @PedsDocDex]

@pccm_doc Real “tastes great / less filling!” energy. 😂

[Mark Dexter @PedsDocDex]

I think there should be a drumroll as we get closer to the release of the actual new #Phoenix Pediatric Sepsis Criteria. #SCCM2024
