“Increasing survival by at least 68%”, allowing patients to connect to what matters most to them…this is how we promote quality AND quantity of life as well as bringing Intense CARING back to Intensive Care Units (ICU).
Patients want strong brains 🧠
📍Improved brain function at 1 year grossly outweighs 1% occurrences of tachycardia or O2 drops during ICU exercise
📍How do we achieve less ICU-acquired #dementia?
📍Turn off sedatives & get our patient moving

A quick thread on why Mastodon is superior to Twitter and how to do it for those who are initimidated
(It is not hard but is a bit more lo-fi than Twitter)

The fact that "agitation" doesn't have a standard definition means that it's ripe for interpretation, a kind of a Rorschach test.
Among the most cynical definitions is the one given in retrospect: "the reason that patient received an antipsychotic." 😮💨
It’s time to make this a more common sight! Thank you for role modeling the teamwork & commitment to optimizing patient outcomes. This individual looks so much more full of life than one confined to bed!

📍Great motto to guide ICU Mobilization & save lives using #A2Fbundle
📍Every patient, every day, every ICU, across the land

Thank you for sharing your story! I believe that the human connection is essential in recognizing the suffering of another individual. This suffering is common in #ICU which means that clinicians have no time for complacency- the time for a critical care REVOLUTION is now!
👇👇 I am so excited about this session. Such an important topic, and we have great experts from Australia for this discussion. Don't miss it! @NIDUS_Delirium@ElderLifeProg@agilis@rnjma
Each year, #Delirium affects more than 2.5 million older adults in the US and adds more than $164 billion in annual healthcare costs. Join #ADS23PVD to help improve these statistics. Submit your presentation proposals: https://t.co/Tm9Oqq7aVu
Entrepreneurship is a mindset change. It is a way of thinking, reasoning and leading. Come and learn how to identify the unmet needs in your areas of research and turn it into a commercially viable innovation !
While the lack of oral communication is an important consideration, an argument could be made that the sedation, restraints, and bed rest should not always be considered the standard of care with ETT.
Excited to announce I received my NOA today from #NIH#NIA for the Paul Beeson Career Development Award to study oxidative stress and #aging in #ICU. Thanks to my mentors, colleagues, and family. @DeliriumKhan@RFPMachado @CMCALLAHANMD @IUMedSchool @DMAronoff @Regenstrief
