Kids are 22% of the US population but 100% of the future. - AAP President Sue Kressly #speakupforkids #AAPAdvocacy #AAPAdCon

A good man has left this world. May he be remembered, because his life was a blessing.

It was a big deal for RFK Jr to say people should get the MMR vaccine. It goes against what he’s said for years. Obviously, it would have been better if he hadn’t lied about how to prevent measles (it’s the vaccine, not sanitation or diet). But this seems like a positive development overall

I have to say something. Preaching to the choir on this platform- but SPEAK UP- not just here, but on the platforms where everyone doesn’t agree with us. #PutKids1st #PedsICU #PedsAnes

Every year I have to answer parents of kids on life-support questions about whether a influenza vaccine would have prevented their child’s life-threatening illness. (yes) This action by the FDA puts all Americans at risk. Children will die. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Of the 4000 researchers at NIH, only 20% are tenured. They’re going to fire all the rest as their contracts come up for renewal, absolutely decimating research at the NIH. This is catastrophic, not just for Americans, but for the whole world. www.science.org/content/arti...

Nice summary by Becker's of the House budget resolution. Medicaid isn’t just numbers—it’s care for children w/ disabilities & rural families. Slashing billions will be catastrophic for child health. At most children's hospitals, ~50% of children receiving care are covered by Medicaid.

We stand on the shoulders of giants before us. I am indebted to Drs. Vidyasagar & Nagamani Dharmapuri, the @sccm-pediatrics.bsky.social section & the vibrant #PedsICU community for this amazing honor. #SCCM2025

My wish list for “must meet” people was almost fully checked off ✅ at #sccm2025 @sapnakmd.bsky.social @yoncabulutmd.bsky.social @deannamarie208.bsky.social And Danielle Maue Not pictured @mommimayamd.bsky.social Caroline Ozment Dream #wim team of people

Delighted to learn from my dear friends @aakashdeeparora & @yoncabulutmd.bsky.social at #SCCM2025 on what’s new in pediatric #liver failure management. #PedsICU

Love the inclusivity! #SCCM2025 #SCCMSoMe @sccmcriticalcare.bsky.social

Honoured to share our latest work from one of our PhD students. More to come! #PedsICU @palisinet.bsky.social @umcgroningen.bsky.social journals.lww.com/pccmjournal/...

We’re excited to be on Bluesky & connect with our members & the global #PedsICU community!

Packing to head tomorrow to I think my 19th or 20th SCCM Congress since my first in 2003. @sccmcriticalcare.bsky.social I feel I deserve some sort of punch card. Who’s with me?! See you soon, #PedsICU friends. #SCCM2025

Several #PedsAnes topics floating in “🦋” space right now. Hard to carry on meaningful discussions. I humbly ask you to consider PedsAnesthesia.Net/forum as an easy, free medium to facilitate such. Take a look. Tell me what you think!

See you there #PedsICU! ❤️

I must not be wording this right. Lemme try again. There is only one (1) office (not even an institute) at the NIH dedicated to women’s health research. That office is now being dismantled, with only a bland landing page remaining on their website. This is a five-alarm fire! orwh.od.nih.gov

🚨Hot off press @asaiojournal Lots to consider for #PedsICU & #PedsCICU too! Extracorporeal Life Support Organization 2024 Guideline for #ICUrehab or Mobilization of Adult Patients on #ECMO Added to bit.ly/pedsliberationliterature pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39883803/

Thank you @sapnakmd.bsky.social for sharing your expertise on this complex topic in the #PedsICU! Always great to speak with awesome guests and pass along knowledge to our friends on the PedsCrit Podcast! www.buzzsprout.com/1809998/epis...

This month we celebrated our entire incredible #PedsAnes team @HopkinsKids. So incredibly proud to work with these talented physicians and CRNAs @HopkinsMedicine to keep kids safe & comfortable during and after surgery. ❤️ #PhysAnesWk25 #CRNAWeek

My first official post @bsky.app is filled with much needed joy. My đź’š is full after my #PedsICU & #PedsAnes work family & their families filled our home on Nov. 9 to celebrate #Diwali, the Festival of Lights after a very eventful week. See all the smiles here: bit.ly/jhpedsaccmdi...

Look who’s here!! #PedsICU

go.bsky.app/5W1iXrK Ok I know I’m missing a ton of people, but wanted to get a #PedsICU starter pack going.
