@codebluenursey @resuscitology Totally agree. Loved receiving mine.
I have shamelessly stolen the idea for teaching sessions and courses I give now! Low cost and great impact.
Received my @resuscitology postcard back and today I read it again..
Can we do this more often? There’s something wonderful about writing the little reminders you need on self development and getting it a few months later as a check up!

I think some of the #COVID post-intubation hypotension seen might be because patients are dry on presentation and have compliant lungs. More of the peep transmits to the circulation when lungs are compliant, so bigger than expected decrease in venous return. #COVID-19
COVID-19 - INTENSIVE
This collection of resources from the @intensiveblog ICU team at @AlfredHealth is really shaping up! Please share widely.

Intubation of #COVID19 Patients
We are sharing our resources in the hope that some of the ideas and processes will be of use to other units who don’t yet have systems fully in place.

In asphyxial cardiac arrest,ETCO2 higher than arrest from primary cardiac origin.During resp. arrest pulm. blood flow will cont. for some time prior to cardiac standstill +hence CO2 will cont. to be delivered to lungs, incr. alv. CO2 + hence initial ETCO2. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC374361/
There is correlation between ETCO2 and degree of heart cavity compression during CPR as measured by TTE. Consider recording subcostal video loop during CPR to check piston position/manual hand placement is compressing heart adequately. https://ccforum.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13054-019-2607-2
ETCO2 monitoring trends in awake/ventilated patient with cardiac tamponade undergoing pericardiocentesis under drapes is a good indicator of perfusion when automated oscillometric manometry is not reliable in extreme hypotension.
