@US_FDA

Did you know? @US_FDA has temporarily approved use of anesthesia machines as ICU #ventilators - learn more at @APSForg with specific guidance contacts for @GEHealthcare @DraegerNews @Mindray_NA

apsf.org/apsf-asa-guida…

A #COVID19 thread/

Did you know?

Anesthesia machine ventilators are used to provide life-sustaining respiratory support every day in the operating room.

While not intended for prolonged use, these are an obvious 1st backup during the #COVID-19 pandemic and critical vent shortage

2/

@APSForg

Remember how @APSForg @ASALifeline @AmCollSurgeons @Surgeon_General said to cancel non-urgent cases?

This means you may have available anesthesia machines in your hospital ORs, NORA locations, outpatient and office-based surgery centers.

What to do with them?

3/

Important questions:

Which machines can be used?
Who should operate these #ventilators ?
Where should they be used- in the OR, ICU, or other places?
Are additional equipment /capabilities needed?

Answers to these and much more are here: apsf.org/apsf-asa-guida…

4/

#medtwitter we can work together to ensure everyone knows what’s possible. Tag your hospitalists, intensivists, anesthesiologists, pulmonologists, respiratory therapists, professional societies, administrators, and advocacy groups

#COVID19 has disproportionately affected careers of women in healthcare and science.

As I reflect on my own experience at work as a woman, a physician, and a leader, here are some things that make a big difference, to me and to the teams I lead:

[#GiveHerAReasonToStay 🧵]

➡️ Flexibility on when, where, and how we work
➡️ Professional development activities protected as part of the job – not “on your own time” extras
➡️ Supportive culture that is committed to employee wellbeing, and employees being themselves

➡️ Private spaces for meditation, massage, and exercise - and YES, we use them!
➡️ Paid parental leave and private rooms for lactating moms
➡️ Financial and time support to level up our skills and competencies

#NewYear2021 reflections - a 🧵

Had an unintentionally profound moment with an executive coach recently.

She said “maybe you should just stop thinking about what's next and enjoy that you’ve arrived."

What? I almost 😢. ♥️ stopped. But wait - there's important context...

I was telling her my life story, the professional twists and turns.

The part where my husband got cancer.

The part when I left academic clinical medicine- my love, and my identity.

Would I still "be" a doctor?

Would my accomplishments and work matter? Or be nothing...

I had, after all, pretty much achieved all the "important" things.

Invited speaker around the 🌏
Academic rank/promotion
Examiner for my specialty’s Board
Board of Directors for multiple orgs
Many national committees
Teaching residents/students
Successful separate businesses

We all know lots of people on Twitter we have yet to meet IRL.

What about someone you DO know from real life that probably doesn’t recognize/remember you on Twitter?

Got any of those? Go ahead and tag them...

@arghavan_salles

For example, I met awesome people like @arghavan_salles @EMARIANOMD @TomVargheseJr @Ron_George @ChrisCarrollMD @susieQP8 on Twitter first, then IRL.

I want to meet @DrJenGunter @choo_ek @JulieSilverMD @meganranney @ddale8 @Bob_Wachter someday.

But...

@Doctor_V

I met IRL but they probably don’t remember:
@Doctor_V at the @doximity BOA mtg (2018?)

@sapinker at the @BXconference where we were both speakers (2015?)

@CarlosdelRio7 who was my professor at @EmoryMedicine 1999-2003

So who else wants to try...

Social media is where people often put a selective best on display. But #medtwitter - this is what I'm hearing behind the scenes.

I'm posting this thread so you know you're not alone, and you deserve better than this:

[1/🧵]

I'm reading comments on a registration form re: an upcoming session about nonclinical physician careers.

I asked why they were interested in attending.

They said:

😕 Exhausted. All the time.
🙁 Work is more demanding without the same feeling of satisfaction
😕 I feel replaceable. Expendable.
🙁 Need better life-work balance. Have been...

Early on Day 3 of #ANES20 - you may need to zoom in! Our virtual community has grown! Who do you see? Do you see yourself?

(a visual conference 🧵/)

A metrics update - fewer users than prior years, to be sure, but very respectable engagement and activity. Over 13 million impressions :) This speaks to the collective followers of the users who are #tweetingthemeeting
#ANES20

What's getting the most engagement? Here are some of the top conversations and images shared. Did you attend those sessions? What was the best part? #ANES20
