I was asked recently, what the biggest improvement in critical care that has occurred in my career: without hesitation, it has been vaccines. Varicella, HIB, Meningococcus type B, COVID-19, rotavirus and now RSV, on top of the previous ones. Diseases that used to cause so much death. #PedsICU

Damn it - THIS is why we developed a vaccine for this highly contagious and potentially devastating disease. Gift article #PedsICU #MedSky #NurseSky #PedSky www.nytimes.com/2025/02/26/u...

Next up, a sneak peek at the new pediatric critical care asthma guidelines. No slides as they aren’t published yet…..stay tuned! @sccmcriticalcare.bsky.social #PedsICU #SCCM2025 #PedSky #MedSky #NurseSky

As awful as this looks…it’s even more frightening when they’re on a ventilator and do this. The advice a few years ago for pregnant women to get vaccinated was a great move.

Cool find by @chriscarrollmd.bsky.social - here’s my research word cloud:

A reminder that the improvements that we’ve seen in life expectancy over the centuries are largely driven by preventing infants and children from dying. If you survived past childhood, you probably were going to live to 60.

First 🦋 post over here - glad to see many of my #PedsICU friends 😊👊🏻
