Join me today at 2PM for the #ATS2023 Pediatric Year In Review where I’ll discuss the latest research on the long-term impact of #peds respiratory viral infections. Summary: Respiratory viruses 🦠 are bad and have long-lasting effects on lung health 🫁! 😱 @ATSPeds #pedspulm

It’s like RSV took a two year sabbatical, was working out twice a day, meditating, eating well, and is now back and showing off

Very exciting to see modulators for #CysticFibrosis continuing to be approved down to lower ages! Now children can be started on Orkambi as young as 12 months! Next up, Trikafta down to age 2 soon (please??)...? #PedsPulm 🫁 #CureCF @NortonChildrens

@olsonplanner 2 observations 1) culture can be very hierarchical and territorial esp for new learners (this stems from “good” place of trying to enforce protocols/ safety I think) 2) cases can go from routine to life threatening very quickly (can b pro or con depending on personality)

@RobynCohenMD Also I don’t understand why insurance, the people who are into Saving money, would not want to pay for generic? Am I missing something.

[Dorothy Curran, MD @DocDorothy]

@RobynCohenMD Ohhh this is why a patients Flovent wasn’t covered the other day! I couldn’t figure it out. Ty 🙏

@KevinJDownes Dental World sounds like a theme park I don’t want to be at but probably should be at. 🦷 🌍

[Dorothy Curran, MD @DocDorothy]

@RobertBeckerMD Omg and then it echoes in the center and you’re like was it up a floor or down a floor! 😱

Here’s what I’m wondering: kid is on last day of discharge doing well on q4 albuterol but definitely needs that q4.

Do I say:
1) symbicort 1-2puff q4h for 48 Hr at home, then symbicort daily+ prn?
2) albuterol 2 puff q4h prn x48 hrs—> Symbicort daily and prn?
3) SMART in 🏥?

[Alex Hogan, MD, MS @AlexHoganMD]

One approach we love at @ctchildrens is to use clinical pathways as spearheaded by @ilana_phm

https://t.co/xqGm97qXpf

Do pathways work to improve things? Yep! Ask @sunithakaiser 👩‍🔬

@RobynCohenMD This looks awesome! Will some of the content be online to view?

@olsonplanner One thing for trainees since Covid: noon lectures used to be protected time where residents could learn and all get free lunch. Now w/ many hospital mask/eating policies, it is: listen to lecture hungry, then grab the bagged lunch and good luck finding a place to eat.

[Dorothy Curran, MD @DocDorothy]

@olsonplanner @SMacMillanMD Haha ask a physician to hum you different hold music. I know about 4 different tunes at least. From smooth jazz to tinkling piano. Also if I ran into the cvs phone tree man I’d probably recognize him based on voice alone.

Better give the polar ice caps a shot of rocephin just in case…

I know everyone’s attributing temperature of 38 °C to climate change but have we ruled out sepsis
