Agree, though I'm not Critical Care doc, I hope for similar bounce in wider #MedMastodon community and my own smaller #IDMastodon and #immunology niches!
Has the potential to be nice community here but just needs more people to come... And to stay & interact!

I have hopes for #critcare and #icu Mastodon
I hope people will share and discuss experiences and thoughts from critical care, and interesting bits of research (their own and others)
I am hoping for more journals and critcare science outlets to join and share
I think it can be great with a collective effort, and in contrast to other outlets be less suceptible to the whims of billionairs

“We of course concur that mortality, duration of ventilation, and LOS are important outcomes when determining timing of tracheostomy. Respectfully, we feel that perhaps the patient’s perspectives have been lost in this growing mountain of early versus late tracheostomy studies.”

What therapies would you trial in severe sepsis (adaptive, multi arm, imaginary unlimited funding) and how would you stratify? #critcare -#icm #intensivecare A#sepsis
What do people think of this clinical cohort study on pulsed methylpred improving survival in vented but not non-fated covid-19? https://ccforum.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13054-023-04337-5 #critcare #icu #covid #icm #pulmmed https://ccforum.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13054-023-04337-5

The most frequent “interventions” that were judged appropriate were:
1/ Doing nothing: #Zentensivism is not #WhatAboutism, it needs documentation and #Monitoring to ensure we have enough argument that it is the right thing to do
2/ Improving #brain #perfusion in situation at risk of #ischemia based on #TranscranialDoppler by either #osmotherapy and/or #norepinephrine

As RSV and influenza cases among kids are surging, PICUs are facing a crisis similar to adult ICUs during COVID surges. For reference, there are about 80,000 adult ICU beds in the US and only about 5,000 PICU beds.
Here’s a webinar we did with CHEST on strategies for health systems to consider:
