Why do I care about people having the right to use public data sources like ADS-B? Two reasons: 1. I firmly believe that public datasets can help people. I’ve used public data to...
Here's a physiology case that *everyone* who touches a ventilator needs to understand: A 60 yo woman is intubated for hypoxemia from multifocal pneumonia. She has a SpO2 of 89% o...
Important ICU teaching case: A woman with AL amyloidosis presents with hemorrhagic shock from a GI bleed. HR 130, BP 80s/40s, Hb 4.5. She’s been receiving CyBorD-Dara chemotherapy...
This is incremental. During my undergrad @BrownUniversity I remember when researchers did this in *humans*: A man with quadriplegia controlled a computer or robotic limb using a...
Here’s an ECG with a pathognomonic finding that everyone ought to know, especially at this time of year. https://t.co/kiSX1rMfst
Here’s a fun ICU puzzle: what is causing this crazy spiking pattern on the ECG waveform of both an intra-aortic balloon pump & ICU monitor? A #MedEd 🧵 on an important clinical art...
Thousands have made the jump from #MedTwitter to #MedMastodon! One issue I’ve heard is “I can’t get the app to work” or “I can’t find the server” Good news: there are many mobile...
Nomenclature question: what do you call it if someone has an elevated PaCO2? 1/
Ok so #TwitterChaos is hilarious & as a bonus we’ll never need to see adds from these companies on Twitter again. 1/ https://t.co/qQZIZ4RngM
I’m all about using comparative physiology to understand critical illness but I gotta call BS on this. The “mysterious EEG pattern” they described is burst suppression & the most...
Are there fish in the very deepest parts of the ocean? The answer is probably not! Why? Quick 🧵 on the extremes of pressure, why fish smell like fish, and why there is (probably)...
More fun pulmonary physiology: 🤿A person takes a deep breath of ambient air & free dives (e.g. holds her breath without a SCUBA tank) in the ocean. At a depth of 40m an arterial b...
