At 90 days, death rates were same in COVID & non-COVID pneumonia for patients w moderate & severe low O2 levels

This investigation of 13 studies found that earlier mobilization of ICU patients reduced the risk of #delirium by 47% and by nearly 2 days in total duration.
To do this we must stop sedation & have patients safely able to participate in walking.

In the past, too many decisions in #CriticalCare were guided by fear. We oversedated patients for too long out of worry they might self-extubate & pull off restraints.

2/ #COVID pts return home after cutting-edge medical care but many survivors are now living with massive & likely life-long disabilities that include dementia, PTSD, depression & major weakness from muscle and nerve disease. #PICS #LongCOVID
3/ These two entities, #LongCOVID and #PICS, have many overlapping forms of suffering that must be acknowledged by healthcare professionals and loved one for survivors to feel validated & heard. People throughout society in all our communities will benefit.
1/š§µ People ask me, āWhatās the main purpose of treating #COVID ICU pts with the #A2Fbundle? (a daily safety checklist of ā¬ļø sedation & ā¬ļø mobilization). Itās to prevent #PICS related dementia, PTSD, depression & reduce suffering in #LongCOVID.
HOW? What is the philosophy?
HOW? What is the philosophy?
2/ For patients itās about magnifying their #dignity and self-worth by liberating them sooner from us (our treatments that put them through a depersonalization chamber). For HCWs, itās about purity of service, avoiding hypocrisy, and better self-sacrifice for our patients.

3/ Itās a type of silencing called ātestimonial smotheringā. This is a form of self-censoring, where silence or withholding testimony is preferable to the psychological trauma of being dismissed and disbelieved.
1/š§µ Iād like to think as a medical community that we have changed & no longer discharge people w/out appropriate follow-up, but just last week I met a #COVID19 survivor who was discharged from the ICU simply to follow up w his primary care physician.

2/ He couldnāt return to his job, was fired & had no income for his family. That resulted in him not having enough money for medications, gas, or bills. He missed his doctorās appointment, his electricity was turned off, so he is unable to apply online for disability. š¤
3/ The cycle continues. I usually see these pts when they get septic again & end up back in my ICU on life support.

2/ What we learned was to switch the preposition!
Ā
Mr. D was a pre-#COVID patient. On this day, he was taken off the vent after a MONTH. The incessant mantra had been, āWhatās the matter WITH Mr. D?ā He was surprised when we asked, āWhat matters TO you, Mr. D?ā

3/ He has a tracheostomy, as you can see. We insert this airway through the neck to improve #comfort when someone is on a vent well beyond 10 days. Heās more comfortable because he no longer has a tube in his mouth. We used a program called the #A2Fbundle to reduce his #delirium.

Our patient wants to live 3 days to see his grandson graduate. He has #COVID19 pneumonia & is extremely short of breath. Heās chosen NOT to go on a ventilator & is on 100% O2 HiFlow Canula. Heās afraid of tight-fitting a bipap mask.

2/ The intern said, āI never saw a patient whose respiratory rate was twice his oxygen saturation!ā Yep, last night his O2 sats dropped to 30% and he was breathing 60 times a minute! By morning he was 85% sat and RR was 28. Better but tenuous.

3/ All of this raises some complicated ethical + treatment questions that Iād like to cover. We addressed this on rounds several times this week & at times it got a bit heated. His #nurse said she noticed herself flushed, mad, and heart rate >130ā¦why?
1/š§µThis figure from CHEST on early tracheostomy in #COVID19 pts is helpful for 2 reasons: it points out different ways of care. Read the BLUE circles clockwise & then switch to OUTER RED ARROWS clockwise again. Clear and True.

2/ The #COVID pt with ARDS + Sepsis on a ventilator is TOO often subjected to TONS of sedation, which adds brain injury, immobilization & development of physical disability. NEW DISEASES added to the original problem. We call this Post-Intensive Care Syndrome #PICS.
3/ Early tracheostomy around day 10 can help (not always!) as outlined in the RED ARROWS. The goal is to lessen the added injury by waking people up, getting them out of bed and early mobilization plus talking with family. This is done via the #A2Fbundle. @SCCM

2/ The nurse would slip a Foley catheter up his urethra into his bladder. Iād go to the stockroom to get all the materials to slide a plastic endotracheal tube down his trachea to become command-central for his breathing on the ventilator.
3/ Next, Iād methodically place a Swan-Ganz catheter by serial insertion of a needle first, then a wire through the needle, next a dilator over the wire, and finally the catheter itself down into his great vessels and heart. And start the āpressors.
