Confirming tracheal intubation: should airway ultrasound become the third check? #anaesthesia #MedTwitter #airway doi.org/10.1111/anae.70316

I get why some of my ICU colleagues prefer working nights; fewer rounds, less bureaucracy, and a tighter-knit team. But no matter how you justify it, the biological reality catches up to you: we’re dying one night shift at a time

Get rid of the term "provider" in health care! The need and steps for action. @AnnalsofIM acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/…

ICU Facts: In the ICU, nothing good ever happens at 3 in the morning

One of my ICU rules: Venous access saves lives. Arterial line gives data I have never seen a patient die because an arterial catheter wasn't placed promptly. I have seen plenty of patients getting hurt (or die) because reliable venous access came too late (or never) Place the venous catheter first. Sweat about the arterial line later And yes. I place a lot of arterial lines and I was not pleased with how many people interpreted the EVERDAC trial (NEJM 2025; 393: 1875-88 - DOI: 10.1056/NEJMoa2502136)

ICU Stories (live coverage) - Massive GI Bleeding: The monitor is baiting you. Massive GI bleed.
Heart rate 150-170.
Hypotension. If your first instinct is to reach for metoprolol or adenosine instead of blood, you've identified the wrong problem. Resuscitate the hemorrhage, not the compensation.

I love this goddamned show so much
