@CallahanPulm This is in the top 10% of tweets I’ve read in my 6 years on Twitter. I highly recommend it for your news feed. Call me with any questions 608-GEN-ERIC.

It's that time of year again where I review fellowship applications. For the love of Christ we need to teach people in medicine how to write like competent adults. (And for the record, the applicants do pretty well. It's the LoR writers who suck.)

If you intubate you need to read the #PREOXI trial! -n=1301 people requiring intubation in ED/ ICU were randomized to preoxygenation with oxygen mask vs non-invasive ventilation (NIV) -NIV HALVED the risk of hypoxemia: 9 vs 18% -NIV reduced mortality: 0.2% vs 1.1% #CCR24 🧵 1/

EMCrit 377 - Breaking News - The PREOXI Trial changes everything for Preoxygenation in Intubations in the Critically Ill! I interview the lead authors and give my RECs. [#FOAMed] I've been advocating for this for years and now we have a beautiful trial... emcrit.org/377

Preoxygenation with NIV or facemask for intubation? The PREOXI trial results ➡️Presentation @JonathanCaseyMD @KevinGibbsMD ➡️ Editorial @FreundYonathan ➡️Panel @VR_Cornelius @SheilaMyatra @agordonICU Jan Gunst ➡️Chair @kelly1_catriona #CCR24 criticalcarereviews.com/meetings/ccr24

@CallahanPulm Roses are red Codes are blue If you can’t get through rounds Your learners hate you

Is there literature investigating the length of rounds and ICU outcomes? Asking for a friend (AKA myself)

UW PCCM Fellows Thank you for everything you do—today and everyday!! We are lucky to have each one of you in our program! #ThankAResidentDay

@DJEureka @McCartneyUWPulm @uw_APCC Too soon. 🐎

POV: you and your PD (@McCartneyUWPulm) just crushed @doc_halliday11 in pub trivia

@elias_pratt @daniel_dgilstr1 @schultheis_jen @JoannaCCPharmD At least he’ll die with green pee. Have you tried thiamine yet?

Since July 1 is upcoming and new #pulmtwitter and #iptwitter fellows are starting. Here is a piece of advice that will serve you well for your entire career. When you get a consult and then call (not text) the consulting person back. Introduce yourself and say "How can I help you" At the end of the convo say "Happy to help, I'll call you back after I see the patient, Thank you for the consult".

prnewswire.com/news-releases/… Rest assured that as a doctor in one of the pilot sites, I will be using this technology to create 80’s power ballads from my clinic notes.

@IcuCast @EdQian @toddrice_ICU Damn. I was going with “super steroids”

CAPECOD is a positive study of steroids in severe CAP, but what does @toddrice_ICU call "corn" on? How does @edqian define "wildly positive"? Hear about this and more on ICU-Ed and Todd-cast! (pod.link/1667336877) CAPECOD: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36942789/

📰 BREAKING: See the ATS’s official statement explaining why race & ethnicity shouldn’t be considered factors in interpreting the results of spirometry, a common type of pulmonary function test. Full press release here: bit.ly/42RPq2I

@MaldonadoFabien @RobJLentz @VUMChealth That’s a hell of an acronym stretch. Is it too late to change to Robo VS ENB?

@JonahRubinMD @HarvardPulm @mghmedres @DarshaliVyas Coffee and creamer, must be an esophagopleural fistula

.@HarvardPulm fellow extraordinaire and future @mghmedres chief Dr. @DarshaliVyas performed a thoracentesis and found this. Thoughts?

Critical care is such a cool crossover of medicine, surgery, emergency med, and anesthesia

@PulmCrit Vabomere and Nuzyra! Fire it up!

if you’re working the ICU today like me, you’re officially allowed to use whatever antibiotics you want. sunday AND christmas. nobody is paying attention. interested in what happens when you combine linezolid, tigecycline, ceftaroline, and isavuconazonium? GO for it.

Academic achievement unlocked 🔓🎉 I have 5 simultaneous meetings/conferences from 12-1pm next Tuesday.

@elias_pratt @christopherecox @DeepAshanaMD Greetings for the day! (I’m going to spam you so hard once that email address gets published)

This is a real game changer. How high a fence do you think 🦘 need? Or are they better indoor pets?

@emlowery1 @sarajohn35 @MaxMachurickMD @uwsmph Ok it was missing a few pieces, but still better than the alternative!

Today I’m thankful for: Excellent ICU RNs, RTs, & NAs. The other awesome doctors working at UW & VA today @sarajohn35 @MaxMachurickMD @emlowery1. Restocked Wayne Pneumothorax kits. Great @uwsmph residents and fellows holding down the fort so I can get home for 🦃.
