#CHEST2025 (Chicago): Cryobiopsy with robotic bronchoscopy boosts diagnostic yield for GGO lung nodules (87% vs 71%) with similarly low complications—single-center experience. #Bronchoscopy #LungCancer #PulmCCM.

I recently covered our inpatient service for a couple of days. The phrase I never use and I dislike hearing:

“I’m just covering.”

To a patient, you’re their doctor that day. Own the responsibility & privilege.

Can epinephrine cause hypotension?

A patient is transferred the ICU with hypotension on 4 mcg/min (.05 mcg/kg/min) epinephrine. Thought to be a GI bleed, resuscitated but was still hypotensive with a HR in the 60s, BP100/40 (60)

Takes carvedilol

Epi stopped MAP 60->90 🤯

@MarkDSiegel1 @YaleIMed @YaleIM_Chiefs Visionary and inspiring. Congratulations!

@NephroP 1. AF with RVR causes a different pressure with each beat. Notice whenever diastole is longer the pressure is higher on waveform, mimicking pulsus alternans.
2. Failing RV compresses LV, exaggerates “preload dependence.” Hence the diastolic hypotension and wide pulse pressure.

The greatest there ever was.
