On this, the 73rd day of #ecmo support for Covid, this young #pedsicu patient was decannulated. The work it took by the team & by him to survive these 73 days was inspirational & emotional. We’re so proud of him. His journey below in🧵 Shared w/ permission from his devoted mom 💪🏻
Part of his physical therapy and treatment plan for Covid was to prone on ecmo. He was our first @ChildrensMercy patient to do this on #ecmo. We developed hand signals so he could control the process every time. #rehablegend 
We helped his mental health with a visit from his 🐶 which is a new #childlife intervention we are doing in the #pedsicu ❤️ @jswallisch @emacksc @DrRissman @LifeandPICU

@SapnaKmd @karen_choong @drpetaalexander @drgregkelly @rch @PICU_Up @mch_childrens #pedsICU has 2 distinct pops:
1.Kids who come in, get better & go. Teams, thoughts, training structured for these minority of bed days
2.Kids who stay > 1 wk – majority of bed days but systems ignore

A New Year’s Day plea on behalf of all the UKs Therapists who want to help rebuild our nation from this tragic pandemic
We need investment across the pathway - we haven’t seen a penny
#LongCOVID clinics are a start but no where near enough 1/6

We have the skills and ability to care for people with complex rehabilitation needs
We work in multi-disciplinary teams, autonomously and in professional groups from intensive care to community
There isn’t a space in health and social care that you won’t find us 2/6

Yet still we suffer from lack of any serious investment. Often being the after thought to business cases, and being expected to do more with less
We have yet to see serious commitment to rehabilitation pathways & if it can’t come now, during a global pandemic, when will it? 3/6

#COVID reflections from ICU (THREAD) my experience & own views
💙 I have been blown away by the incredible human beings I’m working alongside - their compassion, ability to stay upbeat & calm doing tasks outside their comfort zone

⚙️MDT teamwork - everyone is an important cog working together. This is crucial & it’s been exceptional
🚩 Obesity, HTN & T2DM seems to be the a common trend of co-morbidities (I’m calling it the triple threat)
🌬Patients have ⬆️FiO2 requirements which fluctuate regularly

🎈Derecruitment often with repositioning = big ⬇️ SpO2 - preoxygenate & have dr nearby for vent recruitment is helpful. Once repositioned often need time to settle again (can be a 15 min nervous wait!)
