Mortality is 2X higher in children vs adults with severe bleeding from trauma. We must resuscitate children with optimal therapies. Congrats to the Houston team for contributing to the literature. Looking forward to partnering w you on MATIC-2!

We performed a comprehensive scoping review of pediatric care from the deployed, combat setting with a focus on trauma. Many lessons learned from this setting have changed pediatric trauma are in the civilian setting @MatthewBorgman1 @armyemdoc journals.lww.com/jtrauma/fullte…

@armyemdoc Honestly, not sure we need an RCT with current therapeutics. After this one from years back, seemed pretty suggestive of harm. I don't think I'd fund one for $$$$ to show this again: nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

A recent systematic review with meta-analysis on temperature targets for pediatric 👦🏻👧🏻 TBI 🧠 finds... We have no idea what the optimal range is (hypo vs normothermic) and better RCTs are needed. 🤦🏻‍♂️ #tbi #brain #pediatrics #kids #children #emergency #icu #meded #foamed #foamcc

Outgoing President, Dr. John Calhoun felt it necessary to set all of us othered folks straight in 2023. His “virtuous ideas” are the blueprint & thought process for those actively maintaining Whiteness & the Patriarchy in medicine. Problematic White Men in charge… #MedTwitter

Check out the new consensus panel on pediatric traumatic hemorrhage. Spoiler alert - they do not recommend crystalloid. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36245074/ #emergency #trauma #Pediatrics #children #kids #ems #injury #science #data #surgery

@rstackjr @nickmmark It's likely mostly a factor of time to defibrillation and CPR quality. Will pray for the best

This tragic event in Cincinnati looks like it *may* have been commotio cordis: blunt trauma causing life threatening arrhythmia. Blunt chest trauma during a brief window (the 30 msec upstroke of the T) wave can initiate VF. Essentially a mechanical analog to R-on-T phenomenon.

Florida just announced the results of an analysis that they performed, saying the results show "an increased risk of cardiac-related death among men 18-39" for the mRNA vaccines, and recommend this group not receive these vaccines. Is this justified? Let's look at the data...

@PeterHotez Need to push for bivalent vax <12

Agree I don’t quite understand this new round of public messaging. Here’s my message: 1. Covid is still with us in a big way, and possibly a new wave this winter 2. We have a new bivalent booster authorized adults teenagers. We need to push hard on that 3. Vaccinate your kids

@AGoodSave @WIMSummit @thenocturnists 🙏

@petulantskeptic Now it's time for a bevel-sideways study!

@jpsitesMD Agree. Really no good answers here. Would be calling for #ECMO

@petulantskeptic note that the law was written so that court fees will all be paid by the physician-defendant, regardless if they win/lose. So there's strong motivation to sue unfortunately
