Great time chatting with @TessaRDavis @VenkBellamkonda @marco_propersi @M_Lin on productivity...here are some thoughts from me...

#MedEd #productivity
Email

-Focus on Task Zero NOT Inbox Zero
-Email for me falls into 4 categories:
1 Actionable item (>5min to accomplish)->Task manager
2 Junk->Delete
3 Reference->Evernote
4 Quick action (<5min to accomplish)->Answer right then

Goal isn't zero emails but zero tasks in ur email
Time Management

-Schedule things into your calendar
-Review your calendar the night before for next day
-Review your calendar Sunday night for upcoming week
-Make sure you schedule downtime for yourself
Distractions

-Kill push notifications on your phone
-Use sleep mode to not be distracted during deep work
Task Management

-I use OmniFocus
-Allows you to break tasks into actionable items
-Action = Single task
-Project = Multiple tasks
-Can set deadlines/reminders for yourself
How to Choose Projects

-Ask 4 questions:
1 Does it benefit society?
2 Am I passionate about it?
3 Will I be compensated (Not always about money)?
4 Am I free during that time?

1/4 = can't do
2/4 = consider
3/4 or 4/4 = yes

If you can't do it consider delegating it someone else
Philosophies and Books

-Busyness ≠ Productivity
-High Quality Work + Intensity of Focus + Time Spent in that Intensity
-Books to Read: Deep Work by Cal Newport & Getting Things Done by David Allen
Work/Life Balance

-Does not exist
-This is a lack of priorities
-Decide what your big priorities are in life (For me family, friends, personal health) and make everything else revolve around those priorities NOT the other way around

COVID-19: An EBM Take Part 2 at #ACOEP20

-Anticoagulation
-Awake Proning
-Invasive Mechanical Ventilation
-ECMO
-Hydroxychloroquine

#FOAMed #FOAMcc @ACOEP
Anticoagulation in #COVID19

-Admitted pts = weight based prophylaxis (unless contraindications)
-IMV = therapeutic anticoagulation
-Intermediate dosing has ZERO evidence base
-Thrombolysis --> Only if other indication (i.e. MI, PE, CVA)

#FOAMed #FOAMcc @ACOEP
Awake Proning in #COVID19

-Will not work on everyone
-Longer duration is better than shorter duration
-Pts require frequent assessments as they can become prone and O2 dependent (DO NOT ADMIT to Regular Floor)

COVID-19: An EBM Take Part 1 at #ACOEP20

-When to Change Practice
-N95 Reuse
-Corticosteroids
-Remdesivir
-Convalescent Plasma

#FOAMed #FOAMcc
When to Change Practice

Expedited thirst for info & rapidity of pandemic lead to abbreviated peer review, publication of unvalidated data, retraction, and dissemination through press release

When to change = multidisciplinary discussion to set standard care at each institution
N95 Decontamination and Reuse

Make sure technique kills virus BUT doesn't affect filtration or fit
Best options: Vaporized H202, UV Light 260 - 285nm, or Time based strategy
2nd Best options: Autoclave 121C or Dry Heat 70C
Not an Option: 70% Ethanol

Fascinating paper shared with me via @DFarcy Preliminary Observations on the Vent Management of ICU #COVID19

sfar.org/preliminary-ob…

COVID-19 ICU pts are NOT similar to ARDS pts. They have profound hypoxia with pulmonary compliance that is generally high

#COVID19FOAM
High-Pulmonary Compliance: Hypoxic vasoconstriction. Major issue is lung perfusion. Increasing PEEP and prone positioning are of minimal help with recruitment of collapsed lungs. In these patients high PEEP (>15cmH20) may compromise right cardiac filling
Oxygen Alone vs Ventilation: High FiO2 more important in the short run, other interventions (i.e. intubation) may be more harmful than buying time

Airway management recs from Hong Kong on #COVID19

Aerosol generating procedures, such as NIV, HFNC, BMV, & intubation all high-risk

≥6L/min of O2 are considered high flow & use should be discouraged if airborne isolation room unavailable

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/32105633 #COVID19FOAM
In pts with suspected COVID-19, airborne precautions, hand hygiene, & donning of PPE is recommended

Double gloving, as standard practice might provide extra protection & minimize spreading via fomite contamination to surrounding equipment after intubation
Have a backup airway plan ready to go prior to intubation

Most skilled person at intubation should perform the procedure to minimize attempts
