The specialty of #CriticalCare has achieved important advances in survival for many patients with the most complex disorders. Along with these advances, however, there has been an increasing awareness of the complicated and persistent morbidity that follows critical illness. 1/10

The full WHO living guideline which includes recommendations on corticosteroids, remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir/ritonavir and now ivermectin, available here: who.int/publications/i/item/… And here: bmj.com/content/370/bmj.m337…
WHO advises that ivermectin only be used to treat #COVID19 within clinical trials until more data is available, as the current evidence on the use of the treatment is inconclusive bit.ly/3rDN046

You probably know about the amazing pandemic medical resource quickicutraining.com but now we have the Ontario pandemic medical model plan and iit’s associated curricula and educational resources for all doctors coming to work in ICU- please share! @JennaSpring
ICU = 911 for the hospital. We should embrace it. Ask, “how can I help?” Sometimes the answer I’d admit to ICU, sometimes not, but we can always be helpful, kind, and point our colleagues and learners in the right direction.
Working in the ICU is fun for many reasons -- this is one of my favorites.

Our patient died in the ICU yesterday. After a final attempt at resuscitation, with family at bedside, we stopped and performed #ThePause. It was our first one but all the ICU caregivers instinctively knew what to do. It was electrifying. Recognizing Debbie Klein @ClevelandClinic

In acute medical illness complicated by atrial fibrillation, initial management should be treatment of the acute illness rather than the control of rate and rhythm, as the latter is often futile & increases complication rates #AcuteMedResus #Haemodynamics annemergmed.com/article/S019…
