As I came across this paper, I was reminded of our previous discussion on the ward regarding whether plasma exchange is superior to IVIG. In which clinical scenarios your team prefers to use PLEX? I‘m curious.

I’ve always said the ADRENAL trial was a positive trial for steroids in septic shock 😛

(my blog about the origional trial in 2018: https://emcrit.org/pulmcrit/adrenal/) #EMIMCC

the same here, incredibly tight everything

How often are we doing harm because we don‘t know better. Be aware of this issue. #PICU #PedsICU How many of you have permanant psychological support on the ward on a daily base?

Danke Margot Friedländer! „Seid Menschen!“

How to cancel the 19th amendment the easy way: I learned yesterday that the GOP is trying to create law that allows you to vote only if your legal name matches your birth certificate name. This means millions of married women will have their voting rights suppressed.

Influenza is awful! Second child in 10 days on ECMO. Tonight, an all-female team performed the cannulation. Thanks to all of you! I'm sooo proud of you! #TeamUKM This is possible because many strong women fought for us. Let's keep it up and take good care for our daughters! #PedsICU

How to summarize one of the most inspiring hours of your entire life?

Dr. Fauci’s response to my question about battling the 5th horsemen of misinformation - we CANNOT be silent. Bad information will always be loud & in your face.We overcome with numbers, persistence, & evidence. LET’S DO THIS. 💪🏽

An honour to speak at #SWAAC #ELSO #AbuDhabi on when to put an infant on #ECMO.
Neuro injury concerns delay ECMO initiation and then deterioration leads to loss of cerebral autoregulation.
Use ECMO to support the patient and not as a rescue therapy when 👶 post-arrest or in multi-organ-failure.

Would be interesting to know the drug levels in children, when it‘s not working?
Has never been my favourite drug. Fortunately, we need it less often these days. #PedsICU
