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
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
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
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.
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
