Meet Mariah! At age 12, she had a #stroke caused by an #AVM in her brain. She lives with right-sided #hemiparesis but she has learned to compensate for her weaker side. See how she puts on a necklace. Thank you for sharing this tip, Mariah! #StrokeAwarenessMonth @American_Stroke

These are also ABGs from last year (start from the bottom). Almost always in the red zone... Patient likely lives w a PCO2 in the 60s. If we normalized it & the compensatory HCO3 ⬆️ disappeared, then post-extubation w the CO2 rising again, the pH would ⬇️... We let the PCO2 rise.

#Nurses_Week2023 thanks @PulmCrit

[Josh Farkas MD 💊 @PulmCrit]

Nurses save lives.

I see this all the time in the ICU.

🙏Thank you for everything that you do.

After finishing training, I was inundated with “Hey, Jimmy, do you want to…”

… join this committee
… write a book chapter
… help with this study
… teach students in X or Y

I felt so much pressure to say yes.

Until I created my Hell Yes Policy
