@mnarasimhan highlights that as we know more about the natural course of COVID-19 we have seen that #PPE works! Also, that we should try non-invasive ventilation in COVID-19 patients as long as we have appropriate PPE #CHEST2020#CHESTCritCare
@RMavesMd highlighted that several countries in the South Hemisphere didn't have as much flu this season as in previous years, and hopefully we will see the same phenomenon in the US now that flu season is coming #CHEST2020#CHESTCritCare
@sqsimp shared the amazing #COVIDTaskforce initiaive put together by @accpchest to keep its members updated with the most recent evidence. @sqsimp reminds us that standard of care in ARDS management should be used to treat COVID-19 patients. #CHEST2020#CHESTCritCare

And comparison of COVID-19 VTE and historical ICU co-horts. Thrombosis in COVID higher in well matched ARDS patients and also higher than in patients with flu. @accpchest#CHEST2020#CHESTCritCare
At 12 months only 44% of ICU survivors are PICS-free, being cognitive a significative part of the post-ICU impairment. With more ICU survivors, we will likely be seeing more PICS. #CHEST2020#CHESTCritCare
The lack of visitors in the COVID-19 era, will likely contribute to higher number of survivors with PICS #CHEST2020#CHESTCritCare
First up: Props to #CHEST2020 learning partners for that amazing wait music. Ne'er been a fan of wait music. But this is ... well .. peppy. Am in the mood to learn about #AirwayManagement!
.@J_Mendelson_MD: HFNC and proning in severe hypoxic resp failure:
- Can reduce dead space ventilation, assist with WOB, improved resp mechanics
- Pre-COVID data: Can be successful in potentially preventing invasive ventilation vs NIV and low flow O2
