What's the impact of @RECOVER_program, a specialized neuroprognostication service, on provider attitudes? This survey study in @Resus_Plus suggests providers are satisfied, think it's better than the usual, and makes neurology more useful. More at #AANAM doi.org/10.1016/j.resplu.202…
Privileged to collaborate with this international group of experts on disorders of consciousness at a recent conference. A resulting paper, led by @MJYoung_MD in @TheLancetNeuro, outlines an ethical approach to covert consciousness assessment.

Covert consciousness, where unresponsive patients willfully modulate brain activity to command, is gaining attention. But these assessments are fundamentally limited. What if we could just... read their minds instead? 🧵 about our paper in @GreenJournal neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN…
Neural decoding as a covert consciousness assessment is not without limitations. One cannot investigate another's consciousness without eventually falling into a philosophical rabbit hole. Read a thoughtful editorial about this piece here: neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN…
Regardless, we are excited to see where this road takes us in treating this vulnerable patient population. If you're interested in joining this collaborative effort (@RECOVER_program, @ComaRecoveryLab, and many others), check out our job posting here!: xitter.cf/dbfisch/status/1889302…

This is cool. RECOVER. A multidisciplinary team at @PennNeurology that provides neuroprognostication for DoC pts — and also provides F/U care — allowing for more informed judgements
