1/Please share this thread on behalf of my physician colleague, Eunice Stallman, who is facing the nightmare of her 9mo daughter, Zoey, being diagnosed with brain cancer several weeks ago. @BlueCrossIdaho has added to their anguish by obstructing access to vital treatment.

@ramirnovin Rambod, I am appalled and saddened on your behalf. Parenting is a team sport. I don't even know what to say except that I agree wholeheartedly.

@DrRissman When mine was about 15 months old, she stumbled and fell a few times in one day and I had the same thought 🤦🏻‍♀️ (she is fine!) I definitely find myself catastrophizing sometimes.

My daughter spit up twice today and I immediately thought "brain tumor." But don't worry... Her anterior fontanelle is flat, PERRLA, neuro exam symmetric and stable. #pedsICU #WomenInMedicine

#PedsICU colleagues: talk to me about managing hypoxia with COVID pneumonia. Does it make sense to push our limits past where we would normally intubate for hypoxia/WOB? The trend is to follow the adult world with delayed intubation and tolerate hypoxia on HFNC/BIPAP.

How does this company still control the market on baby blankets? All this money we pay for healthcare & they ain’t dropped a new model? Then the doctors turn around and tell you, “eczema is common in newborns.” I guess so, you got my boy wrapped in this rough ass Motel 6 towel.

@GoodishIntent Loved it too. Can't wait to listen again. It kept me company going to and from work this month and I often found myself smiling and laughing out loud and generally making gleeful noises at the wheel

Finally! An evidenced based treatment strategy for #MIS_C from the @OvercomingCOVID group published tonight in @NEJM. IVIG & Steroids better than IVIG alone at reducing cardiovascular dysfunction. #pedsICU #figures_media" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">nejm.org/doi/full/10.10…

@Medic_Russell Shaking my head as I recall the episode where the surgical residents couldn't diagnose a boy who clearly had Kawasaki disease. I can't blame them for not knowing a core pediatric illness, but perhaps they shouldn't be trying to take the place of an EM provider or pediatrician 🤦🏻‍♀️

ok so I’ve started rewatching Grey’s for lols and I’m 1.5 episodes in and WHY HAVE THE SURGEONS JUST TAKEN A SEIZURE AT THE FRONT DOOR, WHY IS THE SURGICAL F1 LEADING THE ARREST TEAM, WHY ARE THE SURGEONS SUTURING EVERYTHING IN ED, WHAT IS THIS INSANITY...?!?!
Russell 🏳️‍🌈@Medic_Russell

Remember that episode of Grey’s where they sent the surgical juniors to the scene of a major incident? Imagine that for real. Just the surgical F2 appearing with a bag. Wild times.

It's interesting how different centers vary in management. Intrigued by the practice variations for #bronchiolitis and associated difference in length of MV. Correlation =/= causation, but pondering a nasal ETT the next time I see bronchiolitis (it's been a year!!)
Igor Areinamo, MD@areinamo21

Nice restrospective multicenter study from 🇬🇧 demonstrating practice variations and outcomes for mechanical ventilation in infants with bronchiolitis. Great #Infographic too. One of the free articles from @PedCritCareMed March edition. journals.lww.com/pccmjournal/Fu…

@MedgibbonsCathy @brownam130 @SCCM @BasuND22 I'll admit my ignorance and say that all 3 PICUs I've worked in (training and as an attending) use full maintenance. One PICU would cut it to 2/3 if intubated due to decreased insensible losses. Maybe this is regional? I'm definitely questioning this practice now.

@brownam130 @SCCM @BasuND22 I’ve never worked in any PICU that actually gave 100% maintenance IVF. Standard seems to be 65-80% of that vol & even then it’s too much most of the time (provided enough cal. being provided). For me goal is no IV maintenance - enteral from the get-go & aim for reaching BMR ASAP

Yikes! It doesn't take long to accumulate a 15% fluid overload using the 4/2/1 rule. but a majority of PICU respondents said they would treat >10% overload. Why is that our foundation? #CCC50 critical care nephrology session @SCCM @BasuND22 #PedsICU

Great perspective with statistics that clearly lays out the reasoning for getting the COVID vaccine. It sucks that we're in a reality where there's no risk-free choice, but we can be informed and make the safest decisions possible.
Wendy Hasson MD@WendyHassonMD

Choosing to take the #CovidVaccine isn't a risk-free choice, but it’s choosing an infinitely smaller risk than the virus' risk itself. To put it bluntly, in the world of #COVID19 there are no zero-risk choices. @Salem_Statesman @TheOpEdProject My Op-Ed: statesmanjournal.com/story/opinion/…
