Athimalaipet Ramanan suggests that if septic child on #PedsICU is not getting better then check a ferritin.
< 1000 - unlikely HLH
1000 to 10,000 - look for other HLH markers (>5000 more likely....)
> 10,000 - almost always HLH

Please check the wire before dilating. Easy to do since you already have the ULS probe in your hand. Scan down to the clavicle and follow the wire. Dilate after confirmation. Don't make the below error.
Thread: My plea for all #ICU staff:
1. Talk to intubated patients, no matter how old or young.Many of your patients are awake, even if their eyes are closed
2. Always tell them what you’re about to do to them and talk to them while you do it. (1/2)
