A little game of fact or fiction this morning with our Interventional Pulmonary celebrity Andy Haas— who in his spare time is known to perform therapeutic bronchoscopies on dolphins!!

It takes a village!

Transplant extraordinaire Dr. Josh Diamond reviewing the intricacies of transplant listing scores and outcomes

[PennPulmonaryFellowship @PennPulmonary]

Thankfully the learning doesn't end in August! All fellows have plenty of educational venues to build procedural expertise. Here we are learning to place bronchial blockers with the imitable @KevinMaMD as part of our regularly scheduled hands-on critical care conference.

[PennPulmonaryFellowship @PennPulmonary]

The end of August marks a wrap for our summer procedure & simulation curriculum! Three airway courses, two days of Philly-wide ultrasound conferencing, and two bootcamps later: our first year fellows are unstoppable @cameron_baston @DoctorBreanne @MeerkatMirson @AnneSongMD

[PennPulmonaryFellowship @PennPulmonary]

@PA_CUSP is an annual two-day, Philly-wide ultrasound conference that includes over 60 trainees, 20 faculty, and 8-9 hospitals @cameron_baston
☑️Immersive training to hone ultrasound skills
☑️Meet other Philadelphia-area fellows
☑️Collaborative learning - not in silos!

This AM #Andrew_Courtwright leads a sweeping yet accessible review of lung transplant immunology! Some fun facts:
🫁Don't be fooled by the nephrotoxicity - Tacrolimus is cleared by the biliary tract
🫁Antithymocyte globulin can cause serum sickness in people who raise/eat rabbits

[PennPulmonaryFellowship @PennPulmonary]

Today's summer lecture series ft @AmandaLeonberg: a whirlwind tour of CC nephrology! Some pearls:
🫁⬆️5 causes of AKI in the ICU: sepsis, surgery, low CO, hypovolemia, meds
🫁Peritoneal dialysis is feasible & potentially advantageous for some critically ill pts
🫁CVVH vs CVVHD!

[PennPulmonaryFellowship @PennPulmonary]

We got to learn about AND test airway clearance devices with the imitable CF/bronchiectasis/home ventilation expert @michaelmrey for today's summer lecture series! We are officially joining @eemoin's resolution to consistently use mucus as a noun & mucous as an adjective.

Big learning point - focus on tobacco counseling and treatment not the outcome of “tobacco cessation”

[PennPulmonaryFellowship @PennPulmonary]

A foundational lecture by a living legend Frank Leone. Here we are reviewing the biochemical pathways reinforced by tobacco use and the many tobacco treatment options in our arsenal.

[PennPulmonaryFellowship @PennPulmonary]

Today the dynamic @JessicaDine set the stage for a year of intentional feedback for personal and peer growth!

[PennPulmonaryFellowship @PennPulmonary]

Kicking off our annual Summer Lecture Series! This 3 month long daily conference series is geared towards fellow-level learners and as a refresher for our faculty on key topics in PCCM. @marylpennpulm @R_M_Bennett

[Maryl Kreider MD MSCE @marylpennpulm]

Annual fellows welcome picnic for @PennPulmonary. Despite threatening weather making us move inside after awhile we had a great time getting to know our new fellows. We are off to a great new year!

[PennPulmonaryFellowship @PennPulmonary]

We had way too much fun with our new fellows during orientation! Here are some highlights from our 2023 Annual Penn PCCM Hospital Scavenger Hunt @marylpennpulm @John_P_Reilly @g10bass @AuriemmaKatie @DoctorBreanne @MeerkatMirson

[Maryl Kreider MD MSCE @marylpennpulm]

An annual tradition for @PennPulmonary - taking a day to celebrate the end of year one. Started with group photos. @AJMeservey #chriscaruso @sayegh_layal @MBarrosseAntle @KrishnaPandyaMD #madiaampey @eemoin. Catch the hazy view of Philly from the helipad.

In today's Year in Review Conference: third-year fellow and basic scientist extraordinaire Ling Wu and collaborators @KAWodzanowski & @jakebrenner discuss the future of targeted drug delivery using Nobel Prize winning work by @CarolynBertozzi #clickchemistry

[PennPulmonaryFellowship @PennPulmonary]

Next, Lauren Rego-Cherian of @PennAnesthesia on hypertensive disorders in pregnancy:
- Early admission to ICU ⬇️maternal M&M by 50%
- Delivery is the cure for pre-eclampsia, but antihypertensives (target ⬇️ MAP by 15-25%) & Mg for seizure ppx (target 4.8-9.6) can temporize

Lessons from our interdisciplinary crit care conference w/@wroqueMD ft work by @AuriemmaKatie
🫁 Among critically ill pts s/p trach/PEG, median days alive & out of institution within 180 days was 32
🫁 Functional outcomes are equally/more important than survival to participants
