Join me and @Moskowcrit for high yield, practical strategies for launching & running clinical trials in your ICU at ATS 2026 in Orlando. More session info: ats2026.d365.events/education/sess… Register at: site.thoracic.org/conference/att… @ATSCritCare

Physician variation in early sepsis treatment (substantial), causal inference methods on potential overtreatment with faster antibiotic practices (none), and understand how some physicians go faster (proactive, parallel processing care/team management) jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

@ParpiaSameer @DogICUma I've used this one as well.

Does anyone know if there is an online calculator to generate a sample size for a cluster trial (with a binary outcome)?

Thanks to @DrSamuelBrown @Terri_Hough and rest of great team for contributions and @Research_Inter and @NIGMS for support

Using the AUPRC highlighted two models originally developed for prehospital use that seemed to work moderately well — but a lot better than unassisted triage — in picking out ED patients at increased risk ars.els-cdn.com/content/image/…

Early identification of patients presenting with #sepsis is likely to aid timely care delivery. Compared to usual triage strategies, @Kasra_Rahmati (currently MS2 at @dgsomucla) identified two risk scores that seem to perform well at ED triage sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

No I’m not.

We're recruiting a critical care physician to join our @IntermtnMedCtr #PCCM faculty! Job includes *substantial* guaranteed time for research/academic endeavors (add more with grant support). Clinic time likely too you want it. Details and application at: tinyurl.com/e7fhksv7

@eemoin @sargsyanz @SarahJBeesleyMD really led this work with Sam's support. Standard policy in our ICU thanks to her.

Folks who do bedside procedures in the hospital - what are your thoughts on family members being in the room during procedure? Please share any perspectives and literature that may be available to guide best practices

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, thank you to my lovely partner and most important sponsor and coach @DrQNguyen and to my amazing daughters (4/4)

Thanks also to my brilliant colleagues and collaborators in the @IntermtnMedCtr Shock Trauma ICU and ED and to the most excellent pulmonary/critical @Research_Inter team (3/4)

Thrilled to receive a Notice of Award for our R35 MIRA grant from @NIGMS to continue our work @Intermountain @Research_Inter harnessing observed practice variation to understand how to improve care for #sepsis (1/4)

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.

@iwashyna OK, this is brilliant. There's actually a whole body of published literature on popular culture depictions of CPR (starting with an @NEJM classic) nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NE…

Well it's finally here. New Global Definition of ARDS presented by Michael Matthay on behalf of a large diverse international panel. More of a modification than a new definition. Berlin lives on but includes new patients under the ARDS umbrella #ATS2023 @ATSCritCare

Get involved!!! #ATS2023 @atscommunity

Secondary analysis of COPILOT trial, aulticenter study conducted @Intermountain and published last year in @accpchest. Funding from @Research_Inter @nih_nhlbi @NIGMS (thanks!) journal.chestnet.org/article/S0012-…

Great work by Gabriel Hooper @UofUMedicine MS2 at #ATS2023 — Self-reported confidence metrics (aka “self efficacy”) didn’t correlate with resuscitation teams’ code blue performance, except when looking at how teams worked together (“non-technical skills”)
