I take care of critically ill kids, study the systems in which we take care of them, and try to make those systems better.

Very different population but this is something the neo and peds groups have tried to assess, and I'm sure someone will do after Oxy-PICU too. Two examples:

Our institution uses it as a very late pressor: journals.lww.com/ccejournal/f...

We try to stratify by direct renin levels if possible too

Is there a real advantage to ketamine over parenteral beta agonists? Does ketamine have direct bronchodilation effects beyond catecholamine release?

Yes! Next time our protocol comes up for review I will push to add it but for now if I am on when such a patient is admitted I typically will order it

RFK Jr talking about the need for doctors to know how to treat measles for those who are unvaccinated.

β€œOnly very sick kids should die from measles.”

No. They shouldn’t. That was the point of the vaccine. We eradicated the virus so children didn’t die.

Sick & disabled kids are not expendable!

I know of (nameless) units that require the nurse to place the primary dressing instead of the proceduralist, in the name of CLABSI prevention. I don't know the data in preventing CLABSI but I bet the rate of "immediately re-dressed lines" plummeted.

I study patient administrative burden. Here is a thread of studies/articles I share often and/or have been suggesting for the newly interested.

How would you rank Williams, Estime, Adams, and Love? Even harder - where do those guys rank in all time ND RB rankings?

Just popping back up to highlight our new work developing pediatric-specific hospital referral regions. It was a heavy lift but I'm proud of the work we've done bringing researchers a new tool to understand pediatric acute care:
