(1/20) Just finished leading a conference about #COVID19 and hematology. >50% of my citations were preprints, so that got me thinking: why write my own preprint when I can just do a tweetorial? So here goes: 🎺🥁[fanfare] COVID-19 for the HEME CONSULT fellow or attending.

The need for virtual training on how to use mechanical ventilators is in high demand. Our Ventilator Simulator lets you train prior to caring for patients in the ICU. Upgrades include #COVID19 patient cases & most recent peds & adult ventilation guidelines https://t.co/G7tHJfLu4h

Just finishing 5 days as crit care consult. The ? was the same, over and over. Progressive hypoxemia: do we intubate? I always looked at the work of breathing. Total: 52 patients over 3 weeks & 3 services. 1 d/c home. 11 died. The rest remain in hospital, almost all intubated.

@RafaelOkemo You can only do your best. 🤷🏾‍♂️ Share this maybe https://t.co/zG8np7x9rI

[Matthew Martin, MD, FACS, McRIB @docmartin22]

COVID Lesson #1 from past 24hrs call in NYC. Don’t intubate for low sats - tolerate sats in 80s if pt mentating and comfortable. Confirm no CO2 retention and keep the tube away!

@NMakhdami hey Nima, so apparently you need to find a supervisor and fill the forms available at the website. I haven't been able to find any supervisor in Toronto. if you have any leads, let me know and best of luck!

This Detroit bus driver made a video asking people to take the coronavirus pandemic seriously. He was upset about a passenger who wasn't taking measures to cover a cough while on his bus.

Four days later, he got sick. On Wednesday night, he died. https://t.co/aZ03XjEZcc

@NMakhdami yes I am working on it, thank you.

My ICU team just extubated a patient with COVID for the first time in ~10 days. After a week+ of badness, we needed a win.

[James Maskalyk @jamesmaskalyk]

the movements in and out of exposure, every few days, if one gets infected, increases the risk of viremia without typical symptoms, and is how this is moving around. i would suggest to @JustinTrudeau and @fordnation to strongly consider this approach. ask PH to do the models.

I swear to god if the cure for COVID-19 ends up having something to do with the Krebs cycle I'm gonna fucking lose it

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

For me, this chart is the most alarming of the latest batch.

US & UK daily death tolls are accelerating in a straight line on a log scale chart, i.e still increasing exponentially.

~All other countries had begun slowing the rate of increase in deaths by now.

[Scott Gottlieb, MD 🇺🇸 @ScottGottliebMD]

#COVID19 won't go away. It'll infect the southern hemisphere as they winter and will want to come back to U.S. in fall. But we'll have a massive surveillance system by then, and I believe more than one drug to both prevent and treat infection. Our tool box will be very different.

[Vinay Prasad MD MPH @VPrasadMDMPH]

Let's crowdsource this
If you are a health care provider..

Anonymously add your hospital's PPE standards for all pts, suspected COVID, known COVID and Aerosolizing procedures to the spreadsheet

Pls RT if u r interested in seeing these data

12/ In a "Stimulus Bill" we MUST include support for frontline practices. It's moving quickly, and I don't know when there will be another chance, if ever

This string has details on what physician orgs are asking for.

[Kashif Pirzada, MD @KashPrime]

This will be very useful for patients who don't quite need intubation and are not doing well on plain oxygen alone. The Italians have been using CPAP helmets, which are now in short supply. This should help a lot!

[Umbereen S Nehal, MD, MPH, MBA @usnehal]

@choo_ek Yes, been saying this for weeks. In general, for PCR, a positive is true positive but a negative can be a false negative. 30% of negative results are actually false negatives for SARS-CoV-2 so if have high clinical suspicion, best to assume positive.

[Lauren Pelley @LaurenPelley]

Spotted this being shared around, and I can't help but think journalists need to see this more than anyone. We can't control how public health officials are sharing key information, but we *can* translate it into clear, concrete messaging for the public.

@alisonpalk It’s ok, I love to work and do meaningful things. Vacations make me anxious
