@jfredlevesque A potential new era for AI to help improve patient care, safety and cost effectiveness.

Interesting paper. Great questions to guide us using AI in healthcare. Same questions applicable to a great extent to human-based decisions. hai.stanford.edu/news/how-found…

With new interns starting next week here are some words of wisdom for us all in healthcare to consider. Don't wait for someone else to fix the system, we are the system - we all need to take a role. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@PeterWark1710 Just need to enjoy the ‘slow’ travel vibe. The sleeer/day cabin is the best option. Great that we can park our car for free at the local train station and step onboard just 15 minutes before departure. Train arrives in centre of Melbourne with our hotel only a short walk.

11 hours 😢couldn’t this be improved and become a viable alternative to air travel ? apple.news/ADMjcSyjbRLy54…

Good review of the treatments that have been validated for Covid nature.com/articles/s4158… by @nymurakami @DavidLeaf9 and colleagues @BWHKidney @NatRevNeph

Measurement of exercise capacity is reduced in people with long COVID. VO2max reduced on cardiopulmonary exercise testing #LongCovid #exercise jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman…

@scruff888 @jdfvan6 What the managers don’t understand is that this results in people leaving, or not contributing - aka quiet quitting.

@P_Charles_ID_Dr Great data but would love to see the source please. Thanks

Few older patients having elective surgery have a documented advanced care plan, even amongst those going to ICU postop. A missed opportunity. #surgery #geriatrics JAMA Surgery. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas…

🆕 @NatureMedicine Heart manifestations of #LongCovid A prospective MRI study of 346 people with mild Covid, and controls, demonstrated myocardial inflammation at 3 months, worse w/ symptoms, and edema at ~1 year by @v_puntmann and colleagues @GoetheCVI nature.com/articles/s4159…

@profesterman Like to see the evidence behind this decision made public.

Australian national cabinet scraps any COVID isolation requirements. Meanwhile in NSW, 1000 patients are in hospital with COVID, and 18,000 people are waiting to get into hospital to get their overdue surgery done. #COVID19 #publichealth #surgery

Duration of COVID infectivity. Real world study of household contacts shows 2/3 of people are still infectious at five days. Implications for isolation of confirmed case of COVID. Australia has just shortened isolation period from 7 to 5 days. #COVID19 thelancet.com/journals/lanre…

Excellent review of the risk to healthcare workers exposed to airborne infection during patient care procedures (endotracheal intubation, mask ventilation). Highest risk is coughing and shouting. Risk at intubation seems overrated. #Anesthesia bmj.com/content/378/bm…

@EricTopol @normanswan @JAMANetworkOpen Excellent useful data to support P2/N95 to lower COVID infection risk.

The use of high-quality masks (like N95/KN95 respirators) by patients, compared with surgical masks, substantially reduced Covid infections among nearly 4,000 health care workers jamanetwork.com/journals/jaman… @JAMANetworkOpen

@Arno_NewYork @strydrunning Yes, font size is too small. I switch to the legacy app so I can read while running.

@strydrunning There is an issue with the size and choice of the fonts while displaying multiple metrics. It’s unreadable outside while running.Symbols should be enough, no need for symbol+text for each metrics.the multiple metrics screen design/UI is inferior to the previous app.

@StefanDieleman Looks wonderful. See you back in Sydney 👍

What a spot to wind down after a great #PratoAnaes2022 meeting. Back to winter tomorrow...

@scruff888 @ulurustatement 😀👍

Paul Myles presents adverse effects of anaemia after surgery. 50% increased prevalence of death or disability by 90 days, more ICU admissions, longer length of hospitalisation. Need to find the best way to manage. #ASM22PER #Anesthesia #surgery #anaemia #transfusion @ANZCA
