Lots of folks have trouble remembering what a p-value is so let me explain with the help of a visual aid.

This ECG was sent to me by a colleague.

5️⃣We use pulse oximeters every day in the ICU, but how do they work & when do they fail?

This #ICUOnePager reviews SpO2 & the factors that can affect it: skin color, nail polish, low flow/non-pulsatile states, abnormal Hb (metHb). Also the key concept of pulse ox lag time ⏱.

Living with covid according to @ScottMorrisonMP : “Sadly, there will be funerals - but people can attend them!” 🤦🏻‍♂️

My father, step-father, & uncle have all died during this pandemic. No funerals is small print vs excess deaths & health systems unable to provide best care.
