Discussion on cardiac advanced life support unit "When Time Matters" In the ICU @sacsconference @allisonkirkner, NP and Casey Sweet, NP @UVA Great Information on creating a CSU-ALS program. ✅CSU-ALS is an emergency protocol used in place of ACLS for patients within 10 days of sternotomy who undergo cardiac arrest. ✅Trained staff - APPs, residents, intensivists, RNs - perform an emergency resternotomy, aiming to be in the chest within 5 minutes of arrest. ✅Suitable in ICU or stepdown/acute care, depending on staff/acuity. #SACS2023 #AtriumHealth #CardioTwitter #Cardiology

Please don’t bring that energy here, the point is new interns are brilliant, capable, hard working, and will have plenty of supervision/help from a lot of people. Don’t believe the “July in the hospital is dangerous” nonsense

As part of an initiative against censorship, any teenager in America is eligible for a Brooklyn Public Library card. This will allow teens in states with book bans to check out ebooks and audiobooks at BPL. A select list is made “always available,” in other words, no waiting.
Libraries across the country are facing an increasingly coordinated effort to remove books from shelves. With #BooksUnbanned, BPL seeks to combat the negative impact of censorship. Learn more at bklynlib.org/books-unbanned

Dr. Nicole Prendergast, @StanfordEMED chief resident on pregnancy during residency at #GrandRounds. Infertility among female physicians is a lot higher than those in the general population. #doctorsarehumanstoo #heforshe

But the result is that there is horror inside the hospital, and outside it you get "we've moved on from Covid" takes. Those are understandable -- those people do not see what doctors and nurses see. bloomberg.com/graphics/2021-…

Still struck by how people keep saying When this is over or When the pandemic is done or When we go back to normal. I do not see a path forward that involves Normal* ever again. *equally struck by how many people are already living life completely Normally

‼️NEW in @EClinicalMed, we show if the MDRD eGFR race correction were removed, an estimated 3.3 MILLION more AAs would meet diagnostic criteria for CKD3, 300k would qualify for neph referral (mortality benefits) & 31k might become eligible for transplant sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

🚨During surges, much is written about healthcare workers burning out. But they often get by on adrenaline only to find, once ICUs are empty, that so are they. In the US, 1/5 have left. More plan too. I wrote about the hemorrhage happening right now. 1/ theatlantic.com/health/archi…
