Drs. @AlhazzaniW, Cook, @KenParhar, @StelfoxTom, @JasonWeatherald lead Canadian efforts to evaluate the #efficacy + #safety of awake prone positioning in non-intubated patients with #COVID19 hypoxemic respiratory failure

The COVI-PRONE trial receives @CIHR_IRSC funding 👏

Some of the most challenging times caring for ICU patients during #COVID19 has been the inability for families to be at the bedside of their loved ones during a very stressful/scary time in their life—focusing on creative ways to keep #familycentredcare possible.

Thanks @PaulBoiteau for sharing this webinar. A must watch for anyone providing ICU care for COVID-19 patients. https://t.co/DkSoHUMabw

@PaulBoiteau Maybe awake prone positioning will be the answer to prevent intubation...

And this article provides a great example of the kind of community spirit that we need to get through this—a spirit that we can hopefully learn to instill more of into our lives, workplaces, civic institutions, and government once the crisis has passed. https://t.co/xYZvspW4Ug

A PLEA FOR HELP

I have been working for 18 hours a day, like many others, to ensure we can protect all our patients and all or fabulous #NHS team

#coronavirusuk is a serious illness and I want everyone to take care and stay safe and this requires for you to please stay inside

[Dr. Jeff Shaw @j32_shaw]

I am extremely impressed by Dr. Deena Hinshaw @CMOH_Alberta, and the Alberta response to #covid. My wife, a medical student, was called O/N to help with contact tracing. South Korea is an example of how test and trace can work. This needs to be to be considered across provinces.

Time for a happy story: penguins get free range of closed aquarium

[Shedd Aquarium @shedd_aquarium]

Penguins in the Amazon?! 🐧🌴

Some of the penguins went on a field trip to meet other animals at Shedd. Wellington seemed most interested in the fishes in Amazon Rising! The black-barred silver dollars also seemed interested in their unusual visitor.

[Dr. Jeff Shaw @j32_shaw]

As someone expecting to see this on the front lines I am impressed by people's response. Thank you. However, we need to shut down non essential travel to the US. The US is Italy 2.0. We do not need the same experience of Italian neighbors: Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland

Most people staying home aren't doing so out of fear; they're trying to avoid becoming coronavirus vectors that could sicken and kill vulnerable others. Going out to bars and restaurants isn't "brave," it's selfish, the moral equivalent of deliberately coughing in someone's face

[Gabriel Fabreau MD, MPH, FRCPC @gabefabreau]

we’ll be in hospitals w #ICU, #hospitalists, #EmergencyMedicine medicine, #Nursing colleagues for the next ?months. Also planned for 10-20% of us getting sick.

Help us by #SocialDistancingNow, #selfisolating if sick, #StayHome, #WashYourHands.

While Italy is on quarantine, the Italian Air Force flies a single jet, representing the virus, to meet other jets that stream the colors of the Italian flag while Pavoratti's Nessun Dorma that has the lyrics "we shall overcome" plays.

Breathtaking. 🇮🇹❤️

(i) Reserved for the most experienced anaesthetist
(ii) High-effic. hydrophobic filter b/w mask & circuit
(iii) Thorough preoxygenation - avoid manual vent.
(v) Avoid awake FOBi
(vi) Intubation >> LMA
(vii) Avoid noninvasive ventilation

"In the past 50 years we have made impressive improvement in our ability to diagnose DVT and PE. However we have made little progress in the treatment of massive PE." Thanks for quoting us @amjmed https://t.co/4ZDFiAIlUl @EricSecemskyMD @PERTConsortium #cardiotwitter

@msiuba @Wilkinsonjonny Many centers with CV surgery will admit that they have little experience in dealing with such situations...What was the patient’s Bova score and his serum lactate? If score >or = 4 with an elevated lactate (>2.0 mmol/L) without a shock index >1.2, we would consider low dose TPA.

[Ido Weinberg, MD @Angiologist]

Unfractionated heparin should be rare in pulmonary embolism! Why?
1) It takes too long to get it right
2) Inappropriate anticoagulation = worse outcomes
3) Most patients don't need a procedure
4) Heparin rarely delays procedures

#CafeScientifique - during recovery - the #patientvoice - Can I go outside? Drive my car? Return to work? What is safe? What can I expect? So much uncertainty and anxiety. How do I get back to my normal life? Will I be able? These extend long after ICU @cc_scn_research @ahs_scn
