🧵 Managing Challenging Behaviours in Resuscitation Teams: A Thread for Team Leaders (1/13)
Every resuscitation team leader can face difficult team dynamics
Here are 6 key challenging behaviours you'll encounter and how to manage them effectively in real-time 🚨
Having non-EM physicians frequently ask me if the Pitt is a real representation of the ED, followed by man that’s crazy! Lets me know that non-EM docs have zero clue what we do or go through.
The Pitt has opened up consultants minds and is changing consultation culture.
To be comfortable as an attending physician one must have spent a lot of time being uncomfortable as a trainee.
Making training comfortable means a lot of discomfort when on your own.

Neuro resuscitation question:
Is there ever a role for vasopressors in a patient with concerns for acute stroke needing intubation and sedation but subsequently becomes hypotensive to meet sedation goals? What if giving fluids and changing sedatives doesn’t help?
Saving a life with no patient history, labs, or prior imaging is a different challenge. It’s all about intuition, quick reflexes, and thin-slicing, while applying evidence-based medicine in real-time. #SavingALifeFromScratch#EMCrit #EM#Resus
Is there some crazy interaction with combined stimulant and opioid ingestion? So far, in every CHANTER syndrome case I’ve seen, the UDS is positive for both amphetamines or cocaine with fentanyl.
Have you all seen CHANTER Syndrome? #neurorads#Neurology#NCC#neurocrit
If you’re intubating a pt with status asthmaticus and tachycardia tachycardia, which induction agent are you reaching for? Ketamine or Etomidate or Propofol? Why? What heart rate would make you lean away from ketamine?#EM#ICU#Pulmcrit#EMCrit

No benefit within 6h of stroke onset (functional outcome nor EVT treatment efficacy)
Not to discount its utility, but do you think CTP will become obsolete regardless of time, as the field moves toward EVT in pts w/ LVO and large core infarct?
“As an EM doc, I play a key role in stroke codes. As a neuro enthusiast, I’m often confused when neuro docs ask for CTP in patients <6h from stroke onset, especially since the literature doesn’t support it. Stroke docs, why CTP <6h?”
New level of respect and admiration for neuroradiology. I’m currently spending elective time with @PennRadiology , learning and growing scan by scan. I thought we worked hard in the ED, but boy do these folks grind! #newfoundpatienceforradreports#NCC#neurorads#EMCC

I find this diagnosis both fascinating and alarming. I’m happy that the research on this phenomenon is steadily growing.
