At IncrEMentuM 2025, @emcrit shared a radical idea:
To avoid burnout, you don’t need a new job—you need a new mindset.

Becoming flameproof is about building resilience from within, not running away from the fire.

Here are 5 lessons I've learned about the ICU that no-one teaches you in fellowship 👇

[Cliff Reid @cliffreid]

When I’m the on call intensivist, I make it clear to my team that if we’re called to help with critically ill patients, having no available ICU beds is irrelevant

Critical Care is a People, not a Place

@lzavorszky @NephroP @iceman_ex @ross_prager @msiuba @ThinkingCC @cianmcdermott @ArgaizR Phigh 15 leads to derecruitment (the same we see with spo2) -> derecruitment leads to increased RV afterload (higher cvp)
There were works, that showed aprv could be beneficial to RV in case you recruit your lung

Deresuscitation has become more and more ubiquitous within ICU practice. But what tools can we use to do it? Over the next 2 Tweetorials, i’ll explain some pharmacological methods. Focussing on the JICS mix!

I often teach the a few core principles of what makes ICU decision making different from treating what appears to be similar problems on the med-surg floors. Here are a few principles I emphasize, in no particular order...🧵

@GicoBellani @giovannilandoni @Thom_Langer @johnglaffey @DrivingPressure @DrMCecconi In patient undergoing psv/sbt, vasopressor free and slightly sedated I would try to aim lower bp target with help of diuretics aka dryer the patient - better the systems

ICU Infectious Disease Pearls and Pet Peeves: I love ID (or at least I did until COVID-19 came into our lives…) and for quite some time I wanted to write a relevant thread. These are some of the simple things that I always try to keep in mind and discuss/apply during rounds:
