Happy to change my tune, as high quality data show #REBOA has higher mortality. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
Back to the drawing board with this one. Is there really an indication? And if yes, what? @traumadoctors @EAST_TRAUMA

An example work product from this service by @CMageePharmD @MeganARech @mrkwameboateng @gkasot @ansakhuja @NurseErikaFCCM found ICU practitioners are comfortable using ketamine, but there are many inconsistencies in practice. #PharmICU

Hoping that quality research will move the needle towards more NSAID, less opioid use. Starting with Ortho trauma!
Thanks for mentioning this @TSACO_AAST paper by @pbatesmurphy @gkasot @JenFreemanMD @DrKristaHaines @DrBYork and more in collaboration between @EAST_TRAUMA and @otatrauma.

The poster session showcased more great work from around the region #CVCSCCM40 @gkasot
Insightful talk about crash dynamics. Have never learned more about seat belt design & function than this morning from a trauma master.
Show me something that makes folks in your profession happy, that most others wouldn't understand. I'll go first:
Not saying that I agree, but also no one has ever seen REBOA and meaningful data demonstrating a clinical benefit in the same paper.
I’m not saying I’m anti - #Reboa I’m just saying no one has ever seen me and and a Reboa in the same room
😳😂😉
What's your starting #wordle word?
I'll go first. AROSE. @DukeSurgery @DukeSurgRes @elliotthaut @docmartin22 @LisaKodadek @EAST_TRAUMA @DrJtrauma @EmeChristine @HeeSooJungMD @R2_Mitu
