Dr. Wright @brianjwrightmd on extubation in the ED: Patient selection is key! Monitoring is critical. Make sure the process that led to intubation is reversed. When in doubt, leave the tube in. #EMConf #FOAMed @StonyBrookEM 1/

.@Chidi_MD take homes: avoid a bridge to nowhere - make sure you have a resuscitation plan - titrate down FiO2, use POCUS in shock, don't drown your patient w fluid, consider whether you have reached 'resuscitative futility' #DevEM2022

Dr. Chidinma Nwakanma (@Chidi_MD) was recently featured in an article regarding Urban Heat Islands and patient care! Link below: usatoday.com/story/news/nati…

Urban heat islands are why it can feel 20 degrees hotter in different parts of the same city

Neighborhoods in highly developed cities can become 15 to 20 degrees hotter by midday than surrounding regions with fewer buildings and more trees.

The last 2 weeks have been ridiculous. The day after #Uzalde, I had 6 gunshot victims in 3 hours. I was not surprised but I was not prepared. We owe our patients and their families more than “thoughts and prayers.” Check our article… @ResusOne inquirer.com/opinion/gun-vio…

Can someone explain to me why an individual needs to be handcuffed when brought to the ER as a patient, AFTER they’ve already been shot and incapacitated by the police? Is that protocol?
