ICU Ventilator Waveforms Secrets: I am reading an interesting article about patient-ventilator asynchrony in non-invasive ventilation From top to bottom, waveforms of airway pressure (Paw), flow, and electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi) are depicted In this figure:

Your research paper shouldn't take 6 months to outline. Most junior academics overcomplicate this process. Here's a simple lo-if mind map I've used:

More on RV failure: Acute RVMI: loading can be helpful because we want to raise the RV pressure higher than the PA pressure to cause blood to flow downhill. - @Chrisotpher Barnett at #critcarecards24

Christopher Barnett MD, MPH, FACC Inhaled pulm vasodilators may be helpful more broadly. dedicated PH therapies may be used in very highly selected patients (select types of PH). Data outside of specific types of PH is generally nonbeneficial. - Christopher Barnett MD, MPH, FACC at #critcarecards24

Classification of modes up to the 2nd level of discrimination. Further discrimination is needed, since many modes share the same control variable and breathing sequence. Feel to mention any modes and its manufacturer not included in the graph Eduardo Mireles-Cabodevila CCF Pulmonary and Critical Care Fellows Saudi Respiratory

🧵1/Little I did know about Bachmann's Bundle (BB) before starting EP fellowship. Quick run👇 BB is the main pathway of electrical conduction between right & left atrium. BB is muscular bundle connecting right & left atrial walls. ❌Disruption of BB causes "Interatrial block"

Why in 2025 are people still obsessed with RADIAL art lines? The ULNAR artery is usual bigger & farther from the nerve. Yes, the RADIAL is more superficial & easier to landmark but with POCUS it doesn’t matter! Is the RADIAL preference just a holdover from the pre-POCUS times?

Structure vs. function - a debate as old as time. LVOT VTI is probably the MOST actionable measurement to guide resuscitation as it gives an accurate and repeatable measure of stroke volume. Join Kiran Rikhraj Eduardo R Argaiz and myself March 10th, 2025 at 12pm (ET - Toronto) as we
