Why has the United States handled this pandemic so badly? The Editors note that although we came into this crisis with enormous advantages, our current political leaders have demonstrated that they are dangerously incompetent.

The Doctor’s Oldest Tool | NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… how a broken “chain of trust” impacts medical denialism by Elvin Geng

[Almost] out in print CHEST: our multihospital RCT found live telemedicine consultation by an ICU physician did not improve CPR quality or ACLS protocol adherence during "mock codes," but did help resuscitation teams identify the etiology of the simulated cardiac arrest

Responding to a Code Blue is stressful and scary, even for experienced clinicians. I still get a jolt when a pager goes off with the tone we used for the MGH IM Residents code pagers

Clinicians, nurses & others who serve on resuscitation teams outside the ICU often worry about making errors or lack confidence in their assigned role. doi.org/10.1097/ccm.00…

Since highly experienced Code Blue team members and leaders are a fairly scarce resource, we wondered if telemedicine could *usefully* facilitate expert consultation for Code Blue teams

Intensivists (when involved) served as a consultant to the code leader. We trained our resuscitation "copilots" on a structured strategy for aiding resuscitation, and provided simple, pragmatic just-in-time introduction for on-site resuscitation teams

Our intervention mimicked a pragmatic deployment of telemedicine intensivist support for Code Blue teams, and findings are consistent with a new observational analysis by the AHA Research #GetWiththeGuidelines team led by Uche Ofoma, MD sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
