Preparedness, technology, staff wellbeing, education led to innovation. B/C future disasters are inevitable, what did we do well? Where did we lag (PPE)? #SCCM2022

Conventional, Contingency practice are familiar, but we have been in extended Crisis mode

Dr. G talks about Risk = Probability x Severity.

Maybe we should add duration (my own thoughts)

Improving communication with all staff members needed. How to augment with non CC providers?

Sustainability over time - sick staff, burnout, early retirement

What is innovation in this context? It's not always a grand technology, rather realigning resources such as airway/code teams, IV pumps outside rooms.

Nurses in ED triage recognized every patient must be assumed #COVID19, how to reset the system to evaluate?

Unanticipated pandemic sequelae: increased violent trauma adding to ED volume.

Simulation has never been more important, but yet the resources and space for sim limited

And supply issues!

My friend and former division chief Dr. Jim Besunder talks about evidence based assessment of pain and agitation #SCCM2022 #PedsICU #PANDEM

Besunder - while self report is the gold standard, the age, acuity and interventions of the #PedsICU patient make this often not useful. Many other tools aren't validated in the population. 2 that work well are Oucher and Wong Baker #SCCM2022

The guidelines recommend using self report tools when possible, the FLACC or COMFORT-B in non-communicative patients. Avoid use of VS alone to assess pain. #SCCM2022 #PedsICU
