@_mpekethu_ I had almost this exact patient on my step 2 clinical skills exam, the now defunct exam. It was pretty nerve-wracking.

@nickmmark It's especially hard to hand off when you're helping someone or someone is assisting you compared to a full-size handle.

@nickmmark One thing that boosts my confidence in Zotero is knowing that it's working off of a database and isn't going to silently transform a year or page number somewhere in a list of 100 citations that I'll never catch

@SkylerLentz @CMichaelGibson I think we're basically ready for this as long as people are willing to click through the LLM references and verify.

@doc_BLocke Our central line kits come with StatLock devices as an option for securement though I've never seen someone use one. That doesn't pierce the skin at all.

Have fixed this before. Large bore chest tube sitting in IVC after entering a hepatic vein 1. Fem access. Snare in IVC 2. Place a hemostatic valve on chest tube and wire it under fluoro 3. Snare the wire from groin approach - “body floss” 4. Remove the chest tube over the wire 5. Place a KMP cath through the chest tube tract into liver parenchyma 6. Place an occlusion balloon from the groin into the liver defect- flow arrest 7. Coil out your tract from the liver. Deflate balloon @IRtmke @ChengaziMD @AustinBourgeois @iRadRock @t_intheleadcoat

@rivatez BP/Amoco demolished a research building in a Chicago suburb because it clearly caused a few cases of GM and they couldn't figure out why.

@ATC_Ventilator Is there anything a bedside provider could do to improve this by changing settings or is it just an in-built failure of this machine? Do you have any tests on the Puritan-Bennett ventilators?
