One of the most meaningful things I’ve read in a long time. Brian’s incisive words and lessons remain with a generation of #Pedsicu friends and colleagues, shaping the care we deliver everyday. I miss him. We all miss him. ccforum.biomedcentral.com/ar…

Say it with me:dexmedetomidine will never be sedating enough as a sole agent to mask the analgesia needed for the noxious stimuli of an endotracheal tube. That is one of its virtues.Arousability. Easy to mask with prop/Midaz Analgesia. Is. Key. Use dexmed correctly. Thank you – at Maryland, USA

Chengsi Ong: BMI is a poor indicator of body composition - it matters because amount and quality of skeletal muscle is a risk factor for mortality in adult #icu patients. However, this might not translate to #pedsicu! Ref: bit.ly/2Pq6yra #sganzics @sganzics #ICUrehab

#ECMO for #ards - probably still at the peak of the hype cycle but it’s not a #magicbullet. @efan75 paraphrasing @f_g_zampieri about what ECMO can’t do and a helpful reference. #sganzics @sganzics #pedsicu #pedscicu @ELSOOrg Reference by Schmidt at al: bit.ly/2IHKvL6

Mallemat #smacc: Asthma can still kill. Some pointers: 1. Breath stacking is one of the main pathophysiology mechanisms 2. Remember Epi 3. Consider #NIV 4. Consider ketamine 5. Timing of intubation - patient tiring out; prepare well; skilled personnel 6. Slow BnM #PedsICU – at Sydney, New South Wales
