My eyes were wet from start to finish. I thought of being little in a big world & watching my son's first tries at this mad game. ESPN's Open to the NHL season is beautiful. I didn't expect to cry today-this is stunning. There's nothing like this sport. We at ESPN love the sport as you do. ❤️ Enjoy.

Which means good simulation can help so that when you have a HALO procedure you trying to remember steps just honing skills
We’ve been measuring the wrong thing.
Higher procedural volume → lower mortality & complications.
Higher trauma volume alone → doesn’t cut it.
Time to rethink how we define “high-performing” trauma centers.

Thanks for highlighting our work at @NYULH_Surgery and @NYCHealthSystem!
Last week, SAO’s Donya Mand, MD, attended the @AmCollSurgeons Surgical Simulation Summit.
From cutting-edge technologies to economical, scalable solutions, these human-relevant training models are helping move the field beyond the use of animals.

A true pioneer in transplant surgery, Dr. Robert Montgomery has expanded the donor pool through antiviral research and made history with a pig to human kidney transplant. He’s also a transplant recipient! Read his story in @TIME’s Time for Change series.

This past year, our program obtained an open surgical skills curriculum for major trauma, which uses an advanced modular operative simulator to practice treating high-acuity, low occurrence injuries. The “Cut Suit” trainer is a state of the art simulator that allows residents to perform anything from an ED thoracotomy, complete with repair of cardiac injuries and cross-clamping the aorta, to a laparotomy, with repair of major liver bleeding, splenectomy and shunting of major vessels, with real bleeding, and without risking the life of a real patient. Our program was part of the first-ever pilot program using this simulator to train non-military surgeons, and is the only residency program in the world to use it more than 10 times per year. The Cut Suit system was obtained through a grant applied for and awarded, from the Committee of Interns and Residents’ Patient Care Trust Fund @cirseiu through the NYC Health & Hospitals system @BellevueHosp. The grant proposal was led by 2 of our residents, Pratik Chandra and Yanzhi Yang. #NYULHSurgery

Today was yet another reminder of the dangers NYC police officers face in their daily efforts to keep our city safe.
We’re thankful one of our officers is leaving the hospital to continue recovering at home.
Thank you to @BellevueHosp for the superb care they give our officers.
