This was one of the best discussions I've seen at SCCM--thanks to @pccmdoc.bsky.social for organizing and to all the panelists for their contributions

Absolutely. This fits systematically with their overarching goals - the whole government has an enemies list. Not great that so far that includes the FBI, the NIH and international aid. Still waiting on those cheaper eggs.

As chilling a meme as I have seen. But I agree.

Hopefully this is only a short freeze but it can still have negative consequences, contrary to Trump claims of making America healthy. The bigger long term concern is over how the Trump administration will hinder scientific research beyond this freeze. Medsky www.science.org/content/arti...

Speaking from a lot of lived Januarys in the PICU for experience... Always helpful to see anecdote turned data.

What Medicaid cuts will do to Pediatric Emergency Departments.

? From my last call. Sepsis is my jam, despite my current #pcicu life. We admitted a complex dorv kid with sepsis. EM resident on the case said the 'current recs' are to stop at 30/kg of fluid resuscitation if you don't have a PICU. Interesting interpretation of the FEAST trial (IYKYK). Thoughts?

A tale of two ventilation strategies in status asthmaticus Left: High respiratory rate, high tidal volume, high PEEP, targeting normal pCO2 Right: Low respiratory rate, low tidal volume, low PEEP, permissive hypercapnea (I target pH 7.2 and put bicarb in the maintenance IVF if needed)

This is perfect.

Post-call November vibes. Remembering my favorite lake in the world (so far).

I love Libby so much. Much better than doomscrolling

As an editor I have the 'pleasure' of reading multiple clinical manuscripts each week. Content is key, there is no getting around this. But content needs to structured in an easily accessible way for the reader to engage... Is this called a "skeetorial"? Anyway, here we go. 🧪 #medsky #ansky

I'm on call tonight and alternately checking on a fresh BDG, learning how to sequence, and doomscrolling. But I turned 40 last month and if you had told me when I was young(er) I would be doing this still and love it this much I would have been happy for future me. Except for the doomscrolling.

Don't know if I'm supposed to do the intro thing, but I am a very proud dad and husband, pediatric ICU physician and early career translational scientist studying the microbiome. I love TSwift, the Dead, hiking, gardening, and grilling. I despise fascists. Hi!
