excellent Dr. Nicholas and team. Lets' make things simple for Medical Professionals or else , mounting complexities of algorithms will end up non performance despite best knowledge.
My husband just got off ECMO today 6/18/24 , he was on it for 4 days. His chance of survival without it was slim. We will take out chances on the future outcome , vs not having one at all.
I had sepsis shock in Nov 2023. I refused all medication except antibiotic, infusions & other supplements. My surgeon was good, removed much more than the abscess. The wound was like a gunshot wound, & the vacuum machine and experienced hands of Wound Sisters were excellent. I requested more antibiotics to have peace of mind. I continued fiction reading in ICU (it was the worst ICU in South Africa. I don’t know to what extent theSLE condition I have for 40 years assisted in my recovery. I got back to driving & working after 3 weeks. Best wishes to those who are recovering. My case was similar & as serious to other Sepsis patients. At age 65, my recovery was simply miraculous. Also I have severe allergies to 70 % of drugs so there was no scope for trial & error treatment, others around me were getting a cocktail of drugs. Please medical professionals do not make assumptions cos each patient is unique.
I had met John twice before and he was the most down to earth person.Really good people. I watched the other video were John was giving a speech about serious motorbike crashes and medical intervention.He was so good at what he did and if he had of decided to leave the racing scene I'm 100% sure he could of been a stand up comedian he was that funny.But he was never going to give up on what his pure passion was,and that was to save road racers lives.So until the next time I bump into You my friend.Farewell.RIP. Dr John Hind's. Delta Seven.☘
Don't dismiss a patient with a Hx of asthma and allergies when there is minimal wheezing on auscultation, but with a complaint of difficulty breathing.
As a simulation, great...but VERY SLOW! If it were real, you would be hustling like mad. You don't have time to be so polite..." Are you ok with that? Yes? " the mother has died, and the baby will too in minutes. I spent 30 yrs in Labor & Delivery and have seen a lot. I watched a post-mortem C/S delivery in less than 60 seconds! Mom was gone from an aneurysm and Dr recognized it and POW! The mother was pushing. All of a sudden she went grey. She made an inhuman-sounding LOUD GASP. her eyes flew open, fixed blown pupils, and her head collapsed onto the bed. No pulse. It was clear to all that this mom was dead. The room went into hyper-flight. The OB doctor looked up between her legs and yelled "Aneurysm..Scalpel!" He grabbed the scalpel, began to cut, and grabbed the baby in a hurry. Baby made it! We were all stunned. We in the room were trying to accept what just happened, but the OB Doc instantly KNEW. After Mother was sutured as if she had a normal delivery. When a nurse handed him a stapler, the Dr at that time said " NO, She gave life. She lost her life. She deserves the best careful stitching possible with full dignity." I will never forget the respect in his voice and the tenderness in his hands. Once we were all out of the delivery, the quiet tears came to us all. This is a GREAT TEAM and fabulous simulation., I couldn't help remembering my delivery and saying to them over and over again...hurry it up!
Scott Weingart and Simon Carley & RU-vid'rz, I have a simular problem of a very different sort, one which conflicts with the established medical paradigm. Even though my problem is radiologically Quantifiable, its existence is being adamantly rejected by 20 professionals in the past two years, half of which are Specialist. When presented with the imagery, these so-called professionals act as though they have been caught cheating on the USMLE exam, & Cower with rejection. My problem shouldn't exist theoretically, but it does. Many have tried gas lighting it away, but not a single one has been willing to pick up the phone, call the CDC to humbly solicit assistance, Or perform a biopsy, I suppose when it kills me someone will cut it out of me declaring discovery. Come check me out, If you want to experience horror, and fascination simultaneously
It was a great presentation. We, emergency medicine specialists who are part of the show, face difficulties all over the world and especially in Turkey, where performance anxiety is at the forefront. We definitely need a new paradigm. Thank you very much for your guiding and eye-opening conversations. And I wish SMACC and CODA would continue...
In March of 2021 I spent 6months on ecmo due to covid pneumonia I was also on a ventilator and dialysis machine and suffered internal bleeding. Ecmo saved my life but now I'm disabled I'm on oxygen 24/7 and was left with severe nerve damage to my right leg a foot.
I dont want to relax,I want epi,when its bad. I do not wanna sit forever on treatments and sure as heck,do not wanna be jabbed with a pen,when I am already fighting. Give the epi in the arm,like the old days
This video is very helpful. As an asthmatic and also having lungs, that have been affected by pneumonia. My lungs never were the same. I am on SSDI. MY MAJOR is my lung disease.
Having just had sepsis dec15, 2023 after going to va a week before telling me it was just a virus and sending me home I ended up breaking out in a sweat barely able to make it to the bed I had my mother in law call 911 (thankfully she was home in the bathroom next to my bedroom which I thank God every day) I ended up in the er then a cat scan was done. With that they noticed a hole in my stomach developed from a hiatal hernia. I ended up in emergency surgery and half way through had to stop cause my blood pressure was too low so they stabilized me and the next day finished the surgery. I remained in a coma 3 days and finally woke up in icu not knowing that 3 days had passed. They didn’t expect me to make it through the night but I did. I thank God everyday!
I have worked alongside Caroline at UHCW and she is absolutely amazing. A huge role model and also one of the most talented EM Physicians I have ever worked with
I survived two severe sepsis in 2007 , and in 2021 , the first one was so painful like fire in my leg , the second one was power ten like fire on , in , my 2 legs , i had to heal myself alone in a cheap hotel room in india cause no money for hospital , i was going to pharmacy 3 times per day at 2 minutes by scooter from that room and was paralysed on floor the rest of the time , it took me 6 months to recover , alone , with my faith , 2 legs black from knees to feet extremeties smelling dead body , putrefaction , a doctor wanted to cut my both legs , i refused , and i recovered slowly day after day once the storm has gone , 3 months after starting , not a nightmare , but a private lesson of what is hell , the pain of this illness sepsis gangrena kills more than the death itself , death is heaven compared to the hard stages suffering to end this illness , like a hell lottery winner ticket mixed with the Russian mountains of suffering mixed with the Russian roulette , you never know if this is not your last breath , your last day , and when it's gone once you win 3 month after you need 3 month more to remake the damaged parts like a lizard after a passage of sharks or piranhas , scared that it comes back , into that pain death is heaven i tell you , but not allowed to abandon the fight from life side ... Crazy experience , 2 times severe sepsis ...
This so helpful for intermediate users. I will definitely be flushing my filter from now on to determine if it's immune cells or actual clotting. It could save me a cassette change. Such great info, thanks for sharing.
