Flexible bronchoscope-guided endotracheal intubation is an advanced technique that you need in your difficult airway toolbox, say @GoyalEM & Alex Koo, MD, only in their latest video blog Procedural Lifelines. #FOAMed tinyurl.com/ProceduralLifeli…

🚨Acute hyperoxia remains inconsistently defined in the literature. ⚕️We need more actionable data for managing mechanically ventilated patients in the acute phase. @GoyalEM @jem_journal #FOAMed #Trauma #MedTwitter authors.elsevier.com/a/1hyNx…

Hi, ER Doc here. If your nose is bleeding, DO NOT TILT YOUR HEAD BACK. This just makes the blood drip down the back of your throat and you will then swallow and/or choke on it. Pinch the soft part of your nose and TILT YOUR HEAD FORWARD. Please tell your friends about this.

Cigna uses an automated system that allows “medical directors” (doctors employed by @Cigna) to deny a claim in 1.2 seconds without opening the patient’s file. Please read this, share it, and help us (metaphorically) burn these companies to the ground.
Doctors at a major US insurance company deny tens of thousands of claims a month without even looking at patients’ files. “We literally click & submit,” a former Cigna doctor told @ProPublica & @Capitol_Forum. “It takes all of 10 seconds to do 50 at a time.” The inside story 🧵
