All refers to clinical practice guidelines on management of this population in #PICU. #FOAMcc #FOAMped #PedsICU

Managing severe bronchiolitis in infants < 12 months admitted to #PICU: here 40 recommendations... overall less invasive approach (in terms of monitoring & treatment) is more? Clinical practice guidelines aimed to create a series of pragmatic recommendations for a patient subgroup poorly individualized in national/international guidelines. Given low overall level of evidence most recommendations are either conditional or expert opinion. #FOAMcc #FOAMped #PedsICU on @ICM 📎 https://rdcu.be/c2Njf

Mass casualty event declared at BC Children's Hospital, #Vancouver, due to under-staffing in the face of the pediatric COVID/influenza/RSV disaster.

"How today started @BCChildrensHosp
in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. The lack of leadership, outrage + transparency is deplorable. #PICU in crisis, #ER times brutal, surgeries cancelled + kids dying of the flu. #bcpoli #CodeOrange"

Please wear an N95, and have your children do the same.
