Dr. Cook begins her #CCC50 Lifetime Achievement Award talk with reflection on her own 1st presentation ever as an #ICU fellow- at an @SCCM Congress! She was struck by the interprofessional group of attendees.(Thread)
#NationalWomenPhysiciansDay #WomenInMedicine #clinicalresearch
#NationalWomenPhysiciansDay #WomenInMedicine #clinicalresearch
Her first lesson learned to impart to us.
BE BRAVE.
An early senior researcher said to her early in career:
"I just don't think research is in your future"
Imagine what #CriticalCare world would have lost if she had listened.

1/ re: SATs to avoid over-sedation in #COVID19 pts, Thx @phanton_icu for Protocol Blindness caution & @Nitkjain reminder “Easier said than done.” I’ve been pondering your comments all day & think them ripe for further conversation on #A2Fbundle
#medtwitter #pulmcc #nursetwitter

2/ Remember, protocols like #A2Fbundle are guides & not “1-shoe-fits-all pts.” Correct, we must deviate when needed. However, these 6 principles (ABCDEF) are derived from 35 NEJM, JAMA, Lancet papers +400 others & now >25,000 pts of data. Not chump change.

Unsurprising the women and crushing the boys on the first question. (And no one gets out of the ICU without steroids, so I agree with @KristinBurkart3 and @Ammo_uw!) #CHEST2020
David Bowton @SMHollenberg getting crushed in this contest (and deservedly so for continuing to promote therapeutic hypothermia!). #CHEST2020
1/ ICU #diaries for Good #Death:
Especially at EOL, ICU #Diary is part of #A2Fbundle. My pt w/ home-hospice told me details recorded in #ICU by #nurse allowed her to decipher cryptic #delirium memories she was struggling with.

2/ Then she told me of hours spent reading big-hearted comments others had written in her ICU diary, making her realize how much her life meant to others. It was a priceless gift to her at a critical juncture in what had a time of deep poverty in her life. #PalliativeCare
3/ ICU Diaries give family members at bedside a practical way of helping w/ loved one’s care & can help channel their worries in a focused way.

1/ When I play the #criticalcare movie 🎥 of me as an intern or resident back in my head, I see myself as much too robotic 🤖 with my patients, as if plugging in kitchen appliances.

2/ The nurse would slip a Foley catheter up his urethra into his bladder. I’d 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, I’d 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 ‘pressors.
1/ There are clinically relevant differences between #COVID19 #Sepsis & typical bacterial sepsis, but they are Quantitative rather than Qualitative. That is, all clinicians have seen them before in other sepsis pts before this #virus 🦠 infected its 1st human.
#medtwitter #meded
#medtwitter #meded
2/ Quantitative septic findings are more commonly part of daily care for #COVID patients than we have been used eg, near total loss of the tracheobronchial tree’s muco-ciliary escalator due to destruction of ciliated respiratory epithelium.
#pulmcc #tipsfornewdocs #criticalcare
#pulmcc #tipsfornewdocs #criticalcare
3/ Classically in #Influenza pneumonia/sepsis, this predisposes to subsequent superinfection from bacteria like Staph & Strep. In #COVID, we are always on the ready to begin antibiotics to cover such complications of what initially was a pure viral infection.

1/ Most indicative of my ignorance as a young ICU doc in 1990 was my off-service note for a 28 year old w/ PROFOUND post-ARDS #PICS: “However, amazingly enough, she still manifests only single organ damage (lungs) w/ good renal, GI, & CV fxn.”

1/ #Sedation & #Delirium in #COVID19:
The cornerstone of best sedation practice in #COVID is not a specific drug. It’s about lightening whatever you use to allow the brain to take over again as captain of the body’s ship.

2/ Personally, & this is a share of my own weakness, it makes a huge difference when my patient is awake & not sedated. Awake patients immediately become humans with real lives beyond the ICU.

3/ The outer shell of patients changes in my mind’s eye when they are lying in a drug-induced coma - the person becomes disembodied. I am blind to the person, who doesn’t seem to be with her own body. I know this is a defect in my own abilities as a physician.

2/ Injury from SARS-CoV-2 virus is mediated by how much swelling (inflammation) and blood flow abnormalities (clotting and bleeding) occur, it’s wise to review what we know about SEPSIS, ARDS, & the BRAIN.
3/ Lung pathology affect parallel disturbances in the brain (& liver) via endotoxin, TNF, hypoxemia, shock & coagulopathy, metabolic derangements, & medical therapy such as the mechanical ventilator itself & sedatives & analgesics.

Answer cont...to help patient get over claustrophobia of CPAP mask. This approach is fine as long AS LONG AS we know we are NOT reducing delirium, rather converting positive sympt of anxiety/delirium into calm toleration of resp support.
