Won the series!
Lost our dignity in the process.
* This marks only the second time in Major League history a team has won a series despite having a run differential of 20 or more (last: Louisville Colonels vs Chicago Colts: June 28 - June 30, 1897).

Over 25% of kids in the #PICU develop acute kidney injury (#AKI), making them 8x more likely to die. But @EStensonMD and @DrBradleyDixon might have found the canary in the coal mine, a biomarker, for identifying early risk.

A truly beautiful & moving reflection of the art, science and utter raw humanity of our jobs in #picu We never forget these children & what a privilege it is to journey with them & their loved ones on their path. Thank you for sharing this @PedCritCareMed

Interesting study in @PedCritCareMed looking at outcomes for children with heart disease requiring #resuscitation who got calcium vs not. Interested to see what people in the #pedsCICU and #PedsICU think.

Content Warning; death of a child.
I wanted to share about the single most salient experience I had deciding who I was as a physician from directly observing an attending. Tragically, it involved the death of a pediatric patient; a child about 18 months old.

Teaching medicine is modeling for trainees. Living medicine is knowing the limits of the body & science. It is protecting & insulating your team from the crushing self doubt during tragedy. We accept these limits are not failure. Doctoring is helping heal when medicine cannot.

This is a beautiful piece on dying in the ICU. The process I use is, “they are going to die, but I can’t tell you when. And no one should die alone, they should die surrounded by loved ones. There’s little we can control, but we can control the timing of death” #pedsICU – at Nags Head, NC
This is an excellent op-ed in today NY Times, and very applicable to my #PedsICU friends.

This is a heartbreaking read. “We need to get ready for a pediatric mass-casualty event,” @HumanitiesMD told them. “There is an active shooter at an elementary school in Uvalde.” newyorker.com/science/annals…

The Biden administration should reinstate a presidential bioethics advisory commission to help inform policy decisions that have bioethical implications, urge the NAS and NAM presidents and other experts.

Doing a coding refresher while my kids were watching a movie, resulted in an epic crossover: Home Alone ICD10
First the title. 3 options:
Z62.29 Other upbringing away from parents
Z60.2 Problems related to living alone
T76.02XA Child neglect or abandonment, initial encounter

Does every admitted patient need a code status discussion? @AvrahamCooperMD and I propose a more individualized & patient centered approach. The current 'checkbox' practice leads to superficial discussions & inaccurate code status determinations.

@CUAnschutz pediatric emergency physician @DrNeubrand has built a #resuscitation program for our 4 emergency departments using high-frequency, low-fidelity cardiac arrest simulations that has improved real-world arrest outcomes for our patients. childrenscolorado.org/resear…

Here it is with captions. Tiktok uses automated captions but they don’t show up on different platforms. Sorry about that.

Falling Down: a thread and ED memoir
Two hours before I met her, she was flying. As her legs pumped back and forth on the hot, rubber swings, her blood pumped, fervent and full of oxygen, cycling through the body like the seasons. 1/12

COVID-19 vaccines are "flame retardants, not impenetrable firewalls, when it comes to the coronavirus. Some vaccinated people are still getting infected, and a small subset of these individuals is still getting sick—and this is completely expected." theatlantic.com/science/arch…
