Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary
I need your help! I'm launching a campaign with @Unbounders to crowdfund my memoir, Under The Knife. I'm offering crazy things like a dress and my sourdough starter. bit.ly/3wUUVi8 It would mean the world to me if you were able to make this book a reality Please RT x
Searing editorial in @odtnews today calling out unchanged #NZ #COVID19 settings as #pandemic surges: "Masks are inconvenient, and they are uncomfortable to wear. But probably not as inconvenient and uncomfortable as an intensive-care unit respirator": odt.co.nz/opinion/editor…
Suppose to join @vodafoneNZ today but despite port complete time of 1600 it failed and customer service doesn’t know what a SIM PIN is #terribleservice #firstimpressionscount
Very excited to share our film about healing and learning from harm. The film was co-produced with @HQSCNZ and ACC, directed by @calrissian33 and features patients, clinicians and leaders talking about their experiences of restorative responses youtu.be/9rRhculNHVg
The Glasgow Coma Scale is a widespread and important tool for discussing conscious level. After all, "what's the GCS?", barked the stereotypical neurosurgeon at the cowering FY1. But why?! Well, I can't answer that. But let's think about the GCS in this #tweetorial. #MedEd 1/15
Here the 5 @yourICM articles included! 🔹Characteristics & outcomes of #ARDS in #COVID19 rdcu.be/b50uH 🔹Outcome of HFNC in acute hypoxemic resp failure rdcu.be/cc1pG 🔹ARDS current & evolving standards of care rdcu.be/b90qD all #COVIDFOAM #FOAMcc
This is so bad 🤢
Critical appraisal of research important for trustworthy interpretation, & main skill for physicians, (intensivists too!). Here, key areas in clinical trial interpretation rdcu.be/ccMY3 citing... rdcu.be/ccMYV rdcu.be/ccMXO rdcu.be/ccMX5
Airborne transmission of covid-19 | The BMJ bmj.com/content/370/bm…
Prone position in #ARDS ➡️ effects: chest wall/lung mechanics, ventilation, perfusion, gas exchange ➡️ hemodynamics ➡️ whom & when? indications/contraindications ➡️ ventilator settings ➡️ how to perform bedside ➡️ impact on outcomes ➡️ unanswered questions bit.ly/3eHVfXX
I am an ICU doctor and I can tell you that I think I have made a bigger difference wearing a mask and asking others to do so than by increasing ICU capacity by 5 times. Trust me: it's more effective and sustainable to adhere to these public health measures than to surge ICU beds.
