Water waste, potential for bacterial outbreaks, cost savings…the list goes on. Next steps: let’s quantify the benefits of transitioning to mostly alcohol-based rub to be able to move forward in an evidence-based manner. Thanks to @explorersurgeon for the mentorship!
Time to transition: In support of alcohol-based surgical rub

Time to transition: In support of alcohol-based surgical rub sciencedirect.com/science/ar…. The West deals with another year of drought - a healthcare system’s drain on water should be evaluated…
What a team!! Congratulations @peter_than and Aleah on an incredible 2 years!! You’re gonna do great things at @UCDavisSurgery & @UCSDsurgery
@JeffChoi01 now presenting his work developing the rib fracture frailty index, developed as a result of his @CWISociety and @klsmartin Resident Research Fellowship in Chest Wall Injury!! @StanfordSurgery @stanfordtrauma @StanfordSWAT Available on App Store!!!
Between SSIs and Cdiff, surgeons treat infections that account for 79% of the additional healthcare expenditure from healthcare-associated infections in the US. @StanfordGenSurg @StanfordSurgery @SurgInfxJrnl @SISEurope @SurgInfxSoc
Cost of Health Care-Associated Infections in US pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3388…
HAI "remain a significant economic burden for health care systems in the United States." C diff and SSI are 79% of HAI costs. Important work from @explorersurgeon Paul Maggio and @LakshikaTennak3
Many questions, some answers, lots of opportunities for further study
@StanfordSWAT @explorersurgeon @DavidASpain teamwork, inc. @OpNotes PGY1 Joshua Villareal + incoming PGY1 Jung Gi Min. Some findings:
1) chest tube: bigger is not better
2) watch for delayed HTX
3) routine CXR post-chest tube insertion/removal: ?need

Super proud of @forrester_jared for some great work
.@forrester_jared spent his PD years doing #globalhealth research in Ethiopia... and helped lower surgical site infection rates by 35% in his pilot study hospitals! Read about his experience as a @SaferSurgery fellow: ow.ly/iI1x50BApZa
