A family stopped me in the corridor as I was leaving Asked to speak to me for a minute… Asked me if I was racially stereotyping and undervaluing their mother I’ve never been asked THAT question before… A 🧵 1/n

Today I reviewed the proof of a paper about ICU diaries and delirium, written by T. Deffner, German ICU psychologist & myself, incl how to write for/to delirious pts and why diaries can help in coping with delirium. Will be published in Crit Care Nurs Clin N Am soon. Stay tuned!

#icurehab crew - what are some of the best apps and ways you've used iPads for ICU patients to support rehabilitation (beyond communication) during #COVID19? e.g. cognitive stimulation, exercises, social connectedness, emotional support etc.

Just did a Sim Game session with staff, two teams thrash it out for the quickest to get equipment/drugs and set up for procedures - so much fun #simwars #MedEd #simed @maheshramanan @KatrinaCook_ @rb_bne @Jessica65193611

@KatrinaCook_ gives an excellent presentation on the value of post intensive care clinics @worldcongressic #WCIC2019. A surprising lack of data in this space. – at Melbourne, Victoria

Such a perfect expression from @LizCrowe2 There is no framework for managing grief, you just have to sit in the rubble with them. Just be there. #smacc

No journal article or medical textbook or statistic will make a family member's suicide hurt less. But there's an honest relief in embracing grief as a person, not a physician. —from Full Circle by Reem A. Abu-Libdeh, MD Read more ja.ma/2TfEDhX #medhum

Call out to all #criticalcare clinicians. The Australia & New Zealand Clinical Educator Network (ANZCEN) is looking for interested clinicians to join us in developing a position statement on IPL IN critical care. See the EOI - we look forward to hearing from you all.
Congratulations to the #TEAM investigators on running an outstanding trial. @AlexisT @KatrinaCook_ @Doc_Yogi @Inject_Orange the Redcliffe team is punching well above its weight on that list.

Hearing ICU staff talk kindly to my husband when he was sedated/ventilated helped me feel that he was safe and cared for in every way, not just clinical. It was easier to leave him - carers notice the kindness too. And for the record - he remembered lots of what was said. Lots. – at Melbourne, Victoria

#unconfed - the future ! – at Brisbane, Queensland
The conference of the future will be streamed online with Twitter for discussions and commentary and networking. Could be done for less than 1% of the cost of actually attending. Not to mention the reduction in emissions from airline travel.
