The results from our DEVICE trial are out in the @NEJM . In this RCT, direct laryngoscopy was inferior to video laryngoscopy for first-pass success. In fact, it was so inferior that we had to stop the trial early after DSMB review due to the clear benefit of VL. This is the 🔨 nail in the ⚰️ for DL. While it's an important skill, VL should be the standard when it's available. If it's not available, we need to make it available. nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE… #emergency #emergencymedicine #icu #criticalcare #airway #military #war #trauma #data #science #research #armyemdoc #medtwitter #foamcc #foamed

There are thousands of new docs getting ready to start their internship this month. What advice would you give them, #medtwitter? I'll start... sleep is your highest priority, followed by staying in shape and staying connected to friends.

🧵regarding some technical points about passing drains or chest tubes through the body wall. Aside from the normal techniques, we will show what to do with the less common 'trocar' type of drains and chest tubes, and also what the 'pointy' part of the chest tube is for. (1/ )

Excited to share our newly published paper: Healthcare disparities in pediatric neurosurgery: a scoping review in @TheJNS Pediatrics: doi.org/10.3171/2023.3.peds2… We summarize major themes & provide a roadmap for future research to understand WHY these disparities exist #Neurosurgery

Being in survival mode for so long makes it difficult to appreciate the wins. However, emotions hit me today: - I survived childhood #abuse & homelessness - I became a #firstgen physician - I became part of the 8% & 0.2% of #black & #native female med school grads. I did it.

1/15 🤔Why do antibiotics reduce the risk of rebleeding after acute variceal hemorrhage? I understand why antibiotics reduce infections, but the mechanism by which they reduce rebleeding is not immediately apparent. Let's have a look.

During my Internal Medicine training, I wrote 100s of History and Physicals (H&Ps). Now as a Cardiology fellow, I read every single H&P for a new consult. Here are some tips and tricks for effective H&Ps. -thread 🧵- #MedTwitter #MedEd #Cardiotwitter #IMG
