Our biblio analysis of research published in SCImago top5 ICM journals: 75% focused on “in ICU” phase of care. Some improvement in post-ICU representation. Huge dominance of infection/sepsis and resp/vent topics.
Very timely considering ICS/JLA PSP now.

Signed this copy of Scars & Stains in MFT library. Thanks for adding to your collection!
Love how on this Mayo clinic book, faith and hope come before science.
Presented prize-winning essay, toured Mayo clinic, saw Gibbons CPB machine I mentioned in talk, met some fantastic colleagues, made professional connections.
Great day at Anesthesia History Assoc meeting!
Opening quote for my essay Rivers of Life that won the Anesthesia History Association competition. Explores 3 “streams” of circulation in life support, challenges Eurocentric origins of CPR, and raises esoteric Qs about survival.

Great to see this published @elsevierconnect.bsky.social after lots of work with @dyslexicmedic.bsky.social.
Almost 20 pages of drug tables, pathways, and peri operative guidances. Just look at these beautiful diagrams. Fantastic resource for exam prep!

Our article (with excellent diagrams) provides clinicians with practical guidance on perioperative medicines management, highlighting biochemical pathways & key recommendations to enhance patient care with a systematic approach. @markzytan.bsky.social

Join me tomorrow at 8am (UK) or 3pm (SG) for an overview of intensive care - the mortality, morality and ministry. It will cover some concepts and ideas from the my book Scars & Stains, and about humanising intensive care.

So busy in the last few weeks I forgot to advertise beforehand! Fortunately part of talk was recorded so hopefully will share that soon.

AIRWAY. BREATHING. CIRCULATION. DISABILITY. EXPOSURE. Perhaps five of the most misunderstood words in life support.

My favourite post nights food! Makes me (and my girls) very happy :)
And when dipping sauce is homemade tamari it is even better.
Interesting the need for a beating heart has been challenged by some forms of extracorporeal support technologies. Fascinating histories. Does divert from the heart-centred physiology of old, but raises own issues
