@jdimick1 @JOSEPHM45075332 My appy was a 13 day admission: obstruction, NG tube two different times (they're miserable), re-op, central line, TPN, and I lost ~15% of my body weight.
There are no zero risk surgeries (or other procedures).
In honor of #MayThe4thBeWithYou let's consider the most difficult airways in the Star Wars universe:
1. Darth Vader
Species: human
Vader presents several challenges: Vent dependent at baseline, airway burns from Mustafar, limited neck mobility.
Discuss GOC before saving him
🚨🚨🚨 New video alert!

@SparkyDeviceRN@BenWilesEP Look at the gain number printed on the strip above the "change". I suspect it's AFL with loss of AV conduction and a gain change that makes the AFL waves look like VT. This has important treatment implications. Pulseless patient needs CPR but TC pacing, not defibrillation needed
Interesting case w/ Dr. Mathew at @SMHCS: 3rd time redo AF referral. Minimal touch-up in LA, then checked CTI. 184 ms across CTI. Is it blocked?
HD mapping showed a slow leak at prox CTI. Was CTI flutter this patient’s AF trigger? How often is this missed by only measuring time?
🌴Just arrived at the beach?
👀Take a few minutes to scan your surroundings and observe the water conditions from an elevated point - this will help you identify potential #RipCurrents and areas in the water to avoid
🏖Unsure about conditions? Ask a lifeguard
🌟Be #BeachSmart
“What if I'm caught in a rip current?” Stay calm and relax. Float to conserve energy. Rip currents don't pull you under. Don't swim against the current. You may be able to escape by swimming out of the current in a direction following the shoreline, or toward breaking waves, then at an angle toward the beach. If you feel you will be unable to reach shore, draw attention to yourself. Call and wave for assistance. https://t.co/HOJWZxzrT1
Rip currents kill over 100 beachgoers in the U.S. each year. When visiting the ocean, you are safest at beaches with lifeguards. Stay #WeatherReady and learn more about rip current safety at https://t.co/u1AP5qKyC2
