Isn’t it beautiful to be able to estimate hemodynamics with ultrasound waves on a probe? Beautiful diagram for echo boards from #ASE #echofirst

Do you consider shock etiology when making a decision for VA-ECMO? In this issue bit.ly/32aUqkT Alba et al found that short-term mortality ranges from 35 to 76% depending on etiology of shock@CaroAlba05 @hearthealthydoc @vivrao13 @PMunkCardiacCtr @FilioBillia @UHN

#lungtransplant donor science: bit.ly/2NhUlYg. Ventilating brain-dead organ donors with hypoxemia in the prone position resulted in improved oxygenation, a reduction in radiographic atelectasis, and more lungs transplanted. @brainbleedmd @GaryMarklinMD @midamtransplant

So cool to be having the opportunity to work and learn here as a clinical fellow!
“The organ we all thought would never be able to be resuscitated in that way was the heart.” Our world-leading DCD (non-beating) heart transplant programme began in 2015. It features in the first of a new 'problem solvers' series by @thetimes. @NHSOrganDonor | #OrganDonation

interesting...
Heparin free management of veno-venous #ECMO as bridge to/during LTx to decrease risk of periop bleeding. Effective strategy, with limited intraop blood requirement & no major postoperative bleeding or thromboembolic events in this series! @asaiojournal bit.ly/2YMDUG7

Understanding intensive care staffing occupancy and capacity Why are we so stretched with #COVID19 You may hear and see units with a few empty beds. BUT! no staff to man them. This is why we are struggling Please retweet #FOAMed #FOAMcc #medtwitter ics.ac.uk/ICS/News_Statement…

This is what's happening in the UK with the new variant, spreading fast and infecting a larger part of young people now. The President of the UK Intensive Care Society @ICS_updates @stephen_t_webb is sending a clear message that once we sent from Italy in March: Get Ready Europe
Correct Maurizio new variant spreading very very fast in UK - already higher numbers than wave 1 in the spring - the rest of Europe needs to be ready follow @ICS_updates for updates latest here: ics.ac.uk/ICS/News_Statement…
