@united MAKE IT RIGHT for this entire flight headed back to IAD

[Sunny Chiao @SSChiaoMD]

Hey @united, I know CrowdStrike put a damper on yesterday’s travel, but what’s up with cancelling today’s flight UA 1614 to Washington DC AT BOARDING TIME? Don’t get me started with the rebooking options getting in on Wednesday. That’s in 4 days. Unacceptable.

[Sunny Chiao @SSChiaoMD]

So here I am l. Stuck in Santo Domingo with 2 delirious kids in a city that doesn’t readily service international flights to the US.

[Sunny Chiao @SSChiaoMD]

Update: finally got to a hotel room. After 2 hours without communication @united told us to get on a bus where they would put us up for the night. And after we were all on the bus, THEN told us we were being driven 3 hours away

Sounds like we could all use some of this one. Coaching can help clarify your own internal goals and identity.

Thank you to @HarrietHopfMD for speaking on supporting, and being supported in, a career. Although there is overlap, not everything can be lumped into the “mentoring” category. @UofU_Anesthesia

[Sunny Chiao @SSChiaoMD]

Sometimes, support comes in the form of Sponsorship. As someone new or breaking into a field, it can be difficult to connect with specific opportunities (or even recognize that they exist!) - a great sponsor can recognize and bridge this gap.

Recently, @APSForg published case reports of risks of anesthesia with new weight loss meds. Now @ASALifeline has released guidance on the anesthetic management of these patients.

Watch for a brief summary!

A dear friend speaks on an important issue

[Sunny Chiao @SSChiaoMD]

@BhikenNaik @UVaAnesthesia Thank you! You personally have been extremely influential.

[Sunny Chiao @SSChiaoMD]

It’s official! Hard to believe how quickly time has passed. Thank you to the mentors, colleagues, residents, students, nurses, and staff I’ve met along the way @UVaAnesthesia. Immensely grateful to the physicians who wrote letters of rec on my behalf!

✅if patient has no GI symptoms AND held their meds as directed, proceed as usual
❓🧐there is no known optimal duration of fasting for patients on GLP-1 agonists. At present, follow ASA fasting guidelines

3/3

[Sunny Chiao @SSChiaoMD]

First Ozempic face, now Ozempic stomach!…

Pre-op management of GLP-1 agonists:
✅consider holding DOS for daily dosing
✅consider holding x1 week for weekly dosing
