📰 The @nytimes celebrates life & work Dr Bartlett: Robert H. Bartlett, father of innovative life-support system, dies at 86. He developed #ECMO, a treatment that can sustain patients whose hearts and lungs are failing - for days or weeks or longer. 🖇️ bit.ly/4qKFt3b

@mdonnino @grossestreuer @KateMBerg @dj_deets OMG this is the best!!

Happy Halloween!

The NIH grant that supported 38 years of training the best pediatrician-scientists in the country (I’m a proud former recipient) was cancelled. It was just approved for a 5 year renewal. The @PSDP_AMSPDC is vital to our understanding of childhood diseases and making new therapies

How we did Exception From Informed Consent in a peri-arrest PICU Trial: @CritCareMed @mdonnino @CRSBIDMC #pedcritcaremed journals.lww.com/ccmjournal/abs…

The @American_Heart says not to give Sodium Bicarbonate during cardiac arrest, yet it is given in 50% of IHCA--WHY? @mdonnino @CRSBIDMC #OpenAccess #f0005" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

(5/x) Another important take away from the research by @FTeranMD et al. is that the debate between the cardiac pump theory and thoracic pump theory of CPR has been resolved. The thoracic pump theory states that cardiac output during CPR is primarily generated from changes in intrathoracic pressure 🫁 The cardiac pump theory states that blood ejection is due to direct compression of the LV 🫀 While both might be at play somewhat, I think the cardiac pump is the primary mechanism given multiple studies showing CPR over the LVOT/Aorta is associated with lower rates of ROSC 🫀

#CPR is the cornerstone of survival for cardiac arrest, yet one crucial aspect of CPR quality is never discussed 🫀 Here's why we need to rethink a one-size fits all approach to CPR and why "push hard and fast with full recoil" isn't good enough in 2024. A 🧵 #foamed #medtwitter

@M_Asad7178 @mdonnino @Inside_TheMatch @KMC_pesh @FuturePedsRes Whoohooo!!!

Beyond thrilled to have matched at Saint Louis University for residency training in Pediatrics! Grateful for the support of family, friends and my 2 special mentors @drcatross @mdonnino Excited for this new journey #Match2024 #IMG @Inside_TheMatch @KMC_pesh @FuturePedsRes

Emergency research without prior consent is vital for cardiac arrest research. Find out how the regs differ between 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇪🇺🇬🇧 and how this affects study design: #cpr #PedsICU #research #EFIC #deferredconsent @BarneyUoB @Prof_Parker sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Huge publication and call to policymakers by star researcher ⁦@drcatross⁩ evaluating key differences between US, Canada, and Europe for how best to perform #cardiacarrest research in the current era. Very timely given so many gaps in #cprresearch sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

@JavierJLasa Thanks Javi!

Excited to see this in print. #PedsICU

A long title!! but great to be a part of this work led by @drcatross: Emergency research without prior consent in the 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇬🇧🇪🇺: How regulatory differences affect study design & implementation in cardiac arrest trial #PedsICU #CPR @AHAScience @Ilcor_org sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Children in high-risk neighborhoods are almost 50% less likely to survive with a good neurologic outcome after cardiac arrest. We present this devastating data as an oral presentation tomorrow at #AHA23. Come join me for the discussion. We must do more.

Truly inspiring

Year in Review #ReSS23 - always a highlight! Drs. Karl Kern and Bobby Sutton present whirlwind reviews of the years impactful work. Here Dr. Sutton describes a Bayesian interpretation of the THAPCA-OHCA trial. 🗓️ 👶🏻👧🏽👩🏼‍🦰🧑🏾‍🦲👵🏻👴🏼 @AHAScience @AHAMeetings @3CPRCouncil @HeartCPR

So proud of you @AOHalloran_md !!! Awesome work!
