@emily_fri I’ve read a PFT or two where the lab inadvertently entered “70 cm” for height instead of 70 in. Made for some very impressive % predicted values 😂
@emily_fri It’s the best CPET book! Your lab may be using the FRIEND registry equations (or European equations). Most metabolic cart software has preset equation options, so you could have your team check the settings in the software. And they can double check that height/wt are correct.
Over 5 million patients are admitted each year to ICUs in the US. With advances in modern medicine, ~70% survive. Many survivors experience Post Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS), a collection of new or worsening impairments in the cognitive, physical, or mental health realm. These impairments are often long-term, resulting in a difficult recovery journey and leaving patients feeling isolated and misunderstood. Join us for the inaugural National #Walk4PICS Day by walking any appropriate distance Saturday, September 30.

@HeidiEngel4@WesElyMD@DaytonICU Thanks for the good question Dr. Engel! We plan on collecting sedative exposure data, so hopefully we can do some secondary analyses looking at associations.
@MinaFaye @VUMCSurgRes @PitViperShades @VUMCTrauma @kgallagher01 Congratulations! Well deserved. Look forward to working with you now as a trauma fellow!
@emily_fri This really depends on your academic track and your promotion pathway. It could be research, educational endeavors, QI, admin, etc. I balance office time and work from home different each week depending on what priorities (kids, papers/grants, education) are most pressing. YMMV
