Current thoughts before this half-marathon tomorrow influenced by my latest #pedsICU service week - how bad is my rhabdo about to be? Like CRRT level bad?

[Jillian Bybee, MD (she/her) @LifeandPICU]

During my time on #PedsICU service last week, we talked a lot about #PICSp and the ICU liberation bundle including #delirium and #EarlyMobility.

I shared several resources with my team and thought they might be more broadly helpful, so here they are 🧵

Critical Care boards taken ✅. Next up: go commiserate with others about how silly that test is.

When setting up a #PedsICU follow up clinic, persistence matters but is not sufficient & institutional support is key. Read this letter to the editor below ⬇️

Impairments in #PedsICU patients remain prominent 2- 4 y after PICU admission. Some functions even aggravated within this time window.

Does HFNC really generate PEEP in children with bronchiolitis? Study published in @journal_CHEST by @DrRobGuglielmo and the CHLA team using esophageal manometry and Electrical Impedance Tomography to try to answer this question . What do you guys think? https://t.co/ixiHlhJSET

The point of reviewing your mistakes isn't to shame your past self. It's to educate your future self.

Rumination is recycling old thoughts about what went wrong. Reflection is looking for new insights on how to do better.

You can't undo last year. You can improve this one.

An absolute must read for the medical community at large

[Rebekah Fenton, MD, MPH, FAAP (she/her) @RFentonMD]

This is the most vulnerable piece I've ever written, sharing the details of my traumatic fellowship experience.

I feared its consequences, but I have a story worth telling & I hope my vulnerability can help others and promote culture change for trainees.

Study found a high burden of psychological sequelae in children who were admitted to the #PICU. Peds ICU patients had lower #IQ, more emotional and behavioral problems, and poorer memory. #Survivorship matters. https://t.co/OP0Yd2GHE4 @leejanhau @PeifenPoh @dukenus @DukeU

“The PICU is the last line of defense for children, but the system is not designed to take on this magnitude of preventable illnesses. This is what haunts us: the reality that we might not be able to care for every child who needs us. We are pro-vaccine, pro-masks and pro-child.”

Thankful to have mentors like these two!
