It’s a question I’ve been asking since the end of January and have yet to hear a satisfactory answer. nytimes.com/2022/10/11/hea…

A physician being an anti-vaxxer is the cognitive disconnect akin to a geologist being a flat earther.

🤔 I guess that could be true

Truth.

Measles is a bad actor, I worked with @billmarshnyt @nytimes we graphically represented what happens when 10,000 kids contract measles including 2,000 hospitalizations also permanent injuries or even death from virus VS the minuscule, pinprick side effects of vaccines: No Contest

@pccm_doc @AG_EM33 As a fellow millennial, I was the one in the back laughing loudly at that comment.

This was my favorite quote from @AG_EM33’s talk, but her BF pointed out her asking her mostly middle/older aged transplant support group “so, are you guys on tinder” was probably better. #SCCM2024 #PedsICU

Although the audience member who advocated for I/O balance replacing pain as the fifth vital sign may be my new hero! #SCCM2024

Love hearing @traumamd1’s concept of “permissive oliguria.” We sometimes focus way too much in pediatrics on 1 mL/kg/hr of UOP and our usual knee-jerk reaction is to give more fluid in. #SCCM2024

Yup. #SCCM2024

We’re intensivists. Of course we’re going to drink all the coffee in a three block radius of the convention center. #SCCM2024

I actually need this on a t-shirt... @ShikhaJainMD @FutureDocs

There appears to be a Kawasaki dealer’s convention going on simultaneously with #SCCM2024, and I can’t help but wonder if the surgical/trauma critical care docs weren’t the one who set that up for synergy.

Listening to this presentation on development of vascular access robots, and it feels like watching old episodes of Mythbusters. #SCCM2024

The goal of fluid resuscitation is to increase mean systemic filling pressure, *not* increase CVP. @DrMCecconi #SCCM2024

“Lactate is not a problem. Lactate is a solution for survival of the cells.” - @DrMCecconi #SCCM2024

Really great questions & discussion about new death by neurologic criteria guidelines as part of #SCCM2024.

To my brain, this is the biggest problem with the new criteria, especially if the sedation *we’re* doing is going to give kids a higher point total via depressed GCS. #Phoenix #SCCM2024

@pccm_doc Real “tastes great / less filling!” energy. 😂

Hall: asked use cases but how they used the definitions, and what they would like in new definitions #SCCM2024 #PedsICU

Pediatric Sepsis criteria, starting with the burden #SCCM2024 #PedsICU first speaker is Luregn Schlapbach, MD, PhD

I think there should be a drumroll as we get closer to the release of the actual new #Phoenix Pediatric Sepsis Criteria. #SCCM2024
