Want to know what goes on inside of an ICU? Now you do. I'll try to share what is important to me in these times of rapid change in the healthcare industry. I'll occasionally muse about life outside the ICU, too.

RT @WesElyMD: @jlvincen To tally # % of women & POC in Critical Care, we MUST COUNT non-physicians. The whole #ICU #team. Nurse, PharmD, social worker, respiratory & physical & occupational therapists, Np, PA, chaplain etc! Everyone is of equal value! #medtwitter #pulmcc #heforshe #TogetherWeCan

RT @pmorenofranco: #covidfoam the question is: in your #COVID #ICU with #ivpumps outside the room, do you dilute the fluid to compensate for the length of the tubbing? @pedrodammert @DoctorDaxon @PulmCrit @RKleinpell @SCCMPresident @ATSCritCare @crit_caring_MD @crit_caring_MD

RT @ogi_gajic: @psirides Thank you so much! Equally fitting to modern #ICU. The concluding epitaph spells out #zentensivist manifesto: “Bold when sure, Cautious in danger, Kind to the sick. Friendly with feilow-workers, Not greedy of gain”. @msiuba @ThinkingCC @PulmCrit @medevidenceblog @ChrisCarrollMD

RT @SapnaKmd: If we don’t keep our #ICU patients active during the day we cannot expect them to sleep well at night. #Sedation should only be reserved for cases where it’s medically/physiologically necessary- never to “help w/sleep” No one sleeps well after laying around all day! #icurehab https://t.co/gIwYqcJbAT

@mahrukhrizvi_MD @GallodeMoraesMD @erin_barreto @CritCareMed You may remember we had this problem with quetiapine use in #ICU for delirium treatment being continued on hospital discharge, too.

As seen in the #EMR, patient with CKD stage 5: “Admits to producing urine” As if the patient were making methamphetamine or something. #whowritesthisstuff #ICU #teamnightshift
