What an all star cast of authors!
A great review (although I’m a bit biased) on how we approach liberation from the ventilator in the CICU. Proud and grateful to be involved!

Do you know what to do in an emergency? This 2-minute video demonstrates Hands-Only CPR and using an AED. There are two simple steps that can save a life: 1. Call 9-1-1, ask someone to get an AED, if available. 2. Push hard and fast in the center of the chest.

The Duke CICU offers the full spectrum of care. Sometimes an impella is necessary after being treated for intractable arrhythmias

I am so glad to see this training is still going strong, and in good hands with @jvk213 and @dnarcisseMD. Code team leadership training is so important! It has come a long way since we started doing it in the med res library back in 2009
Code sim @vadurham with @jvk213 @dnarcisseMD and our amazing almost-JARs. @IMResidencyDuke

Great time helping out with a student procedural training night organized by the Duke Int Med interest group and the amazing @LizHankollariMD. The future is in good hands. Thanks to the residents who did the hands on training. @IMResidencyDuke @DukeMedSchool

This is one of the most important studies I have seen recently. Same is true for checking blood pressure.

I watched last night’s figure skating conclusion with my two teenage daughters and found it absolutely disgusting all around, including the commentating on ⁦⁦⁦⁦@NBCSports⁩. These girls deserve better! slate.com/culture/2022/02/ka…

Between a knee surgery and a pandemic, it has been too long my old friend. @GChadHughesMD is spot on about the benefits of strength training. @SVRaoMD

Exciting news from my alma mater ⁦@UMmedschool⁩. I was fortunate to watch Dr Griffith do some amazing surgeries during medical school. Wishing a smooth recovery to the courageous patient. apnews.com/article/pig-heart…

I saw this exact patient today. 62yo. Prior CABG. On atorva 80, LDL-c 54, ApoB 82, Lp(a) 117 (down from 230 prior to statin therapy). Leaning towards PCSK9i therapy. Wondering what my lipid guru thinks - @AnnMarieNavar ? jacc.org/doi/abs/10.1016/j.j…

Practice changing trial. Congratulations to the study team for a very well executed trial. I think TTM2 puts an end to the debate of 33 v 36, but is it time to totally abandon devices for maintenance of normal temperatures?

The #TTM2trial was published today in the @NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE… Here’s a summary of what we did, what I think the trial means, and what next. @ttm2trial @nielsen_niklas @CritCareReviews @NEJM
