#ChoosingWiselyICU might save a life - don't order unnecessary labs, imaging and medications on COVID+ (or any) patients - reduce exposure to our nurses, RTs, phlebotomists, techs, etc.

Tips from MICU team Mojdeh Heavner for keeping yourself protected when on rounds (if not going virtual yet!)

1️⃣Wear scrubs👚to rounds&change before leaving work
2️⃣Wear the same pair of shoes👟& LEAVE them @ work
3️⃣Put your phone 📱in a bag&remove/wipe down @ end

revised section on noninvasive resp support:
🌪️if intubation threshold is too low, will rapidly exhaust ICU & vent capacity
🌪️ANZICS guidelines recommend HFNC
🌪️CPAP might be a good option? (probably not BiPAP, unless COPD)

'Being a doctor in the intensive care unit feels different now. Can we ever be fully prepared? No. Are we nervous? Yes. Yet there have been cracks of light through this crumble into crisis. The hospital has a buzz of innovation and energy.' Dr Matt Morgan ow.ly/sCWm50yNYhY

Brain scans show that some seemingly unresponsive ICU patients may be 'covertly conscious'. How should clinicians discuss these results with families? ja.ma/2UbLXcF
