Feih: our study, monotherapy vs. combo no difference for MAP goal #CCC50#PedsICU
Feih: combo therapy may allow slight decrease in other vasopressor use #CCC50#PedsICU

Sevransky: CITRIS-ALI #CCC50#PedsICU 167 patients with Sepsis AND ARDS for < 24 hours.
Sevransky: it did raise Vitamin C levels but didn't modify SOFA or other scores. But interventional group had a lower mortality (not a primary outcome measure of the study though, one of 46 secondary measures) #CCC50#PedsICU Billiard analogy of calling your shot -
Douglas White (UPMC): ICU triaging both on saving most lives and those with longest life expectancy, even based on SOFA scores invariably will bias against patients of color, or lower SES #CCC50#PedsICU
White: 4 strategies for ICU triage that promote equity
White: Arizona as an example, some hospitals were overburdened, others had empty beds. Arizona surgeline addressed this to coordinate and facilitate transfer 5000 patient transfer so they didn't need to triage. #CCC50#PedsICU
The legend Ann Thompson, MD, MHCPM, MCCM talking about her career in #PedsICU, including offering herself up as chief at Pittsburgh 6 months out of fellowship. #CCC50#PedsICU (her caveat was that the division was 2 people with one fellow, 7 nurses, 10 PICU beds)
Dr. Laura Evans, FCCM asking Dr. Thompson about that transition from fellowship to leadership, the growth of the program. Dr. Thompson relying back on her guidance from Drs Raphaelly and Downes at CHOP who mentored her. "Holding on by your fingertips" at times. #CCC50#PedsICU
