🧵 A patient is rushed into your ED in cardiac arrest, and CPR is started. You find that the patient is in asystole. What are some causes you be thinking about?

A quick review of the H's and T's of ACLS/PALS: a🧵
While performing high quality CPR and identifying VFib and pulseless VTach are important for defibrillation, it's also just as important to think about, quickly identify, and treat causes of non-shockable arrest (PEA, asystole), which are the H's and T's.
There are 7 H's and 5 T's

H:
1. Hypovolemia
2. Hypoxia
3. Hydrogen ions (acidosis)
4. Hyperkalemia
5. Hypokalemia
6. Hypothermia
7. Hypoglycemia

T:
1. Tamponade (cardiac)
2. Tension pneumothorax
3. Thrombosis (pulmonary embolism)
4. Thrombosis (myocardial infarction)
5. Toxins

🧵 Guide to Personal Statements – A Tweetorial

MS4s and those preparing to apply to residency: Here’s my advice for writing a PS! #Match2023

This is based on going through this process recently, reading hundreds of them, and mentoring many applicants this year who matched.

1/
How do you get started? Jot down random notes, phrases, memories, or feelings on your phone or in a notebook or document as they pop into your head during the day. You end up with pages of content to work with as you put your draft together (I had 6 pages of bullet points)!

2/
It’s called a personal statement for a reason. It should be PERSONAL. I cannot stress this enough. If I can take a paragraph in your PS and attach it to another person’s application and make it work seamlessly, there's a fair chance that your writing is too generic.

🧵 The Finale – Part 15 of my #Match2022 Tweetorial Series– “I Matched! Now What?”

I wish I had somebody who told me what I needed to think about after I matched last year.

This thread covers what you should consider and do in the next 3 months before starting residency!

1/
A brief outline of what I’ll cover:
– Celebrate
– Thank yous
– Calendar
– Connect with class
– Hobbies
– Housing
– Create a Budget
– Save Money
– Onboarding
– Vehicle
– Health Insurance
– Email Forwarding
– Documents
– Loans
– Family & Pets
– Don’t study
– Enjoy your time!

2/
First and foremost, celebrate your incredible achievement! You have put in thousands of hours of hard work over many years, and you deserve to take the time to celebrate with those who have played a role in your journey.

In this thread, I’ll be sharing what I feel are the Top 15 most important things to consider when formulating your rank order list (ROL) of residency programs.

So without further ado, let’s get started!

In no particular order:

Resident Vibe

Virtual meet-and-greets are different than in-person socials, but you should have been able to get a general sense of the vibe of the residents from each program. What are the kind of people you want to be around? How did the residents make you feel?

It's January, which means there's less than a month before rank order lists open. One thing to start considering is potentially sending a letter of intent. Not sure what that is or whether you should send one? Let's talk about it!

Shoutout to @LizRaoof for the thread idea!

2/
I keep hearing about this “letter of intent”. What is it?

A letter of intent is a letter that is sent to the program you plan to rank #1 on your rank order list with the purpose of making that known to the program. Simple, right? There are some things you should know though.
