🎯 Early mobility should be standard of care in all ICU’s 🌎

👉Sedation can allow pts to be awake w/o pain-see @WesElyMD A-F bundle!

❓Does your ICU walk intubated patients?

Brief reminder that the 3 different lumens of a 'triple lumen' central line are *not* equivalent in terms of flow rate.

The distal (brown) lumen usually has a greater diameter and a much higher maximum flow rate than either of the other 2 lumens.

Hard to find the complete list of meds manufactured at this 1.4m square foot facility, but basically *everything* Hospira used to make.

Expect shortages in sedatives, analgesics, antibiotics, ACLS meds, chemotherapy, steroids, vasopressors, electrolytes, & more.

😬 yikes!

Get ready for a ton of drug shortages!

🌪️The factory that manufactures nearly a 1/4 of all sterile injectable medications in the US was seriously damaged by a tornado on Wednesday.

Scientists have made a white paint that can make surfaces as much as eight degrees Fahrenheit cooler than air temperatures at midday, and up to 19 degrees cooler at night, reducing inside temperatures and cutting air-conditioning needs by as much as 40%. https://t.co/9mkI73n86t

[Laura Vater, MD, MPH @doclauravater]

Being awake for 24 hours is the equivalent of having a blood alcohol content of 0.10%. This is higher than the legal limit for driving.

If doctors aren’t fit to use their driver's license after 24 hours awake, should they be asked to use their medical license?

[Kay M. Dingwell🍁🩺🏳️‍🌈 @CanadianKayMD]

Can we have a public awareness program about cannabis hyperemesis syndrome? Because people probably should realize it’s an actual, really crappy condition and not doctors being anti-cannabis.

[Nick Mark MD @nickmmark]

It’s shocking that the massive ecological & public health disaster in East Palestine OH isn’t the lead story on every network.

Years ago I saw a man with angiosarcoma from vinyl chloride. It was unforgettable.

The long term harms of exposing thousands to this will be terrible.
