Our paper was just published in Critical Care Explorations. "Decompensation" is frequently studied, but has not been well defined or validated. We used a modified eDelphi approach to develop a definition of decompensation and proposed clinical criteria to identify decompensation.

Congrats Oscar Mitchell!! Important work to improve our ability to study hospital decompensations

Fighting sepsis is an ongoing battle and for patients with hospital acquired sepsis, capacity strain may contribute to antimicrobial delays. Learn more about this important underlying factor in new research from PAIR fellow Jennifer Ginestra, MD, MS. Gary Weissman pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35312462/

Dr. Goldfarb does not speak for Penn, or for PennPulmonaryFellowship. Racial disparities in trainee evaluation stem from systemic racism and individual evaluator bias, full stop. Read the thread from the original paper’s authors below for the evidence:

For ObGyns practicing in states with abortion bans: Banning abortion does NOT mean you must allow an ectopic with a heartbeat to continue. ZERO percent (not *almost* 0%) are viable. ZERO. Even the most draconian heartbeat laws provide ectopic exceptions. You MUST operate.

Vanc-pip/tazo and AKI: a sheep in wolf’s clothing? For many, the notion that vanc+pip/tazo is nephrotoxic has become accepted dogma. In our new study in Intensive Care Medicine, we try to turn that idea on its head link.springer.com/article/10.100… 1/n

Important article alert from Dr. Miano separates vanc-pip/taxi ‘pseudo-AKI’ from true AKI … grateful to work with him!
