Last we have Dr. Daniel Brodie with "ECMO in COVID-19" #CHEST2021 25/
This study organized ECMO availability in Paris during COVID-19. 54% 90 day mortality. Mortality worse for older patents, at lower volume centers, and later ECMO cannulation after intubation. #CHEST2021 26/
This study had a 38.8% mortality rate. #CHEST2021 27/
This trial looked at a trial of ECMO vs no ECMO. The ECMO group had a lower mortality rate. #CHEST2021 28/
This cohort had a 37.4% mortality rate with ECMO. #CHEST2021 29/
Complications of ECMO. No difference in complications in COVID-19 vs other patients, except based on the time you are on ECMO. #CHEST2021 30/
Factors associated with an increased risk of in-hospital mortality include age, immunocompromised status, cardiac arrest, and chronic respiratory failure. #CHEST2021 31/
This study in Germany had higher mortality rates. #CHEST2021 32/
This meta-analysis showed a pooled in-hospital mortality of 37.1%. #CHEST2021 33/
Many of you have reached out, asking me what company I used to plan my trips. I actually plan the vast majority entirely myself. So since so many of you seem curious, here’s how I do it: 1/
Disclaimer 1: For certain polar locations I have booked cruises through Quark Expeditions. These include my trip to Antarctica, as well as upcoming trips to Greenland and Svalbard. I particularly like this company due to their focus on environmental protection and education. 2/
Disclaimer 2: I did use a travel agency for my most recent trip to Africa, because it is very difficult to book, safari and transfers there without someone with expert knowledge of the area. 3/
My final #SCCM2023 tweetucation session for today is “Late-Breaking Studies Affecting Patient Outcomes”!
First we have “Continued Enteral Nutrition Until Extubation Compared to Fasting Prior to Extubation in the Intensive Care Unit: A Clustered Randomized Trial” with Stephan Ehrmann (@stephanehrmann)! #SCCM2023
Nearly all ICUs impose some form of fasting before extubation, but this time seems to be decreasing. #SCCM2023
Next up for tweetucation at #SCCM2023 is “The Intersection of Climate Change and Critical Care” with Dr. Srinivas Murthy (@srinmurthy99) and Dr. Gloria Rodriquez-Vega!
We will talk about whether our ICUs are ready and what they can do to help. #SCCM2023
Case presentation - this is a code red for humanity! #SCCM2023
My next session for tweetucation is something I’m VERY passionate about!: “Moral Injury: Don’t Just Stand There, Do Something”! #SCCM2023
First up is “Recognizing the Signs, Symptoms, and Impacts of Moral Injury” with Kimberly Ichrist (@IchristKimberly)! #SCCM2023
The concept of moral injury is from military literature and is “a wound from doing something that violated one’s own ethics, beliefs, or attachments.” #SCCM2023
