Sharing some of the top pairs of ICU #OnePagers this week.
First up, two topics that go🖐in🤚: #ECMO fundamentals & troubleshooting. Great for learning/teaching ECMO for the first time or for brushing up on basics.
Another high-yield pair of ICU #OnePagers: invasive and non-invasive ventilation.
Reviews all the common ventilator modes (VC, PC, SIMV, PRVC, APRV, etc) & the non-invasive modes (CPAP, S/T, Bilevel/BiPAP, AVAPS). Also covers how to adjust settings based on ABG/VBG results.
We had a great discussion on respiratory mechanics and physiology in our fellow-led #PedsICU journal club this month, inspired by this paper from the October issue of @PedCritCareMed . What is everybody else reading this month? https://t.co/F4CFND8Vgc
I’ve been tweeting about Covid for nearly 2 years. But this week it became personal when my 28-year-old younger son got it.

Thank you @SapnaKmd and @lilliansu for your editorial: "If a technology existed that achieved such astonishing clinical results, it would receive extraordinary attention." We can't wait to answer more questions and spread this work. #PedsICU#PICUQI https://t.co/spuiRrZHnr

We CAN do this.
People talk about the cost of doing this — but we can’t afford NOT to do it.

At a time when Florida is in need of leadership that respects local authority, believes in science, and does right by all its people, I could not be more proud to endorse @Annette_Taddeo for Governor!
She’s more than ready and I’m confident she’ll make families everywhere proud.
