Have you heard about virtual / extended reality before, but are confused about terminology or how to start using it in #anesthesia ? 💻👓

Check out our recent paper with Weill Cornell Medicine Anesthesiology pain & regional mentors about #xr for procedural planning! tinyurl.com/msfe8s7p American Medical Extended Reality Association

There is considerable confusion in terms used to describe #troponin , including terms that are imprecise (e.g., “troponin leak”) or deprecated (e.g., “type 2 NSTEMI”) (Lang, 2022). What's the difference between 🫀myocardial injury, ischemia, & infarction❓ 🧐 #MedEd 🧵

Had a great time participating and working on this a few years ago with Amanda S. Xi, MD — glad the tradition is continuing to improve and highly recommend that rising MS-4’s in #Anesthesia sign up!

Ten cognitive check points (general rules or heuristics to help guide my practice) I use in the ICU to help make sure I don't get too far off track. A thread🧵👇

1/10: Shock with a narrow pulse pressure (<30mmHg) needs an urgent #POCUS (or echo) to identify occult RV/LV

Had an amazing time at SNACC with fellow Weill Cornell Medicine Anesthesiology faculty and other leaders in the field. Thanks for coordinating a great science-focused meeting 🧠

Remember PH groups by writing the number and looking at its mirror/flipped image. For example, '1' looks like a blood vessel (pulmonary arterial hypertension). '2' mirrored on itself looks like a heart (left heart disease), etc. #medtwitter #FOAMed rk.md/2020/who-pulmo…

Gastric #POCUS is a great answer to the GLP-1 issue of delayed gastric emptying in pre-op

It can also help reduce aspiration risk for ER providers performing urgent/emergent procedures

Here's what to look for from gastricultrasound.org

“Dying, like illness, has many faces. If we wait to talk about dying until patients fit our flawed perception of what death looks like, it may be too late to help them face it on their own terms.”

Study findings do not support the treatment of elevated inpatient blood pressures in hospitalized older adults without evidence of end organ damage and highlight the need for randomized clinical trials of inpatient blood pressure treatment targets. ja.ma/3NXGLWV

A question we all need to ask:

If you were the main character in a movie of your life, what would the audience be screaming at you right now?

We've all been there...

We're watching a movie or reading a book and the main character is clearly off course.

We start to feel that

(1/2) Female physicians contribute significantly as faculty, but they're underrepresented in leadership roles. Together, we can empower women, promote diversity, and shape a better future where women physicians have a seat at the table. #WomenInMedicine

Kicked off the #Match2024 #anesthesia Virtual Pre-Op program with this 🌟 STELLAR 🌟 group of #anesthesiology -bound applicants! Thanks to Robert Gaiser, MD and Dr. Kitzman for volunteering as faculty preceptors. #meded #MedStudentTwitter

Intern Boot camp: Loop diuretics!

Furosemide PO x 2= IV
2:1
[40 mg PO = 20 mg IV]

Torsemide PO = IV
Bumetanide PO = IV

Furosemide IV = Torsemide IV
1:1
[20 mg furosemide = 20 mg torsemide]

Furosemide IV x 20= Bumetanide IV
20:1
[20 mg furosemide IV = 1 mg Bumetanide IV]

Loved working on this initiative during the pandemic and happy to see it published and continuing on!

#juniorradres and all those starting to see chest x-rays 🫁☢️ Here an anatomical guide to get you started! This is a key study in thoracic imaging, often a little overlooked by our generation. Practice makes perfect🤓... Let's get started! 🧵👇🏻

Oh you’re going to a teaching hospital in July? Well get ready…

for the most compassionate care from extremely empathetic interns along with their vigilant supervising attendings. Hope you like open ended questions and doctors listening to you bc you’re gonna drown in it.

Over a decade, research abstracts/papers in residency applications have increased 2-3x!!

No one wins in this kind of 'arms race' 👎👎👎

Average applicant abstract/papers by specialty:
Neurosurg: 24
Derm: 19
Rad Onc: 18

🧵1/ With patient permission. This is one of our I6 PGY2s (right) doing a mitral repair, a superb PA (left) is assist and an attending is 2nd assist. A resident anesthesiologist is at bedside.

Many patients wonder how residents participate in their care.
