Been a while since I did any #medicaleducation shitposting.

Tonight’s beer talk: Epi and cardiac arrest.

Epinephrine (adrenaline) is often used during cardiac arrest. Why? Well, it makes heart muscle more exciteable, which is great if you want sleepy muscle to become super zombie muscle while you resuscitate someone. It also makes the heart squeeze harder, and it shrinks peripheral blood vessels (makes the tank smaller so more blood can make it to the brain and kidneys).

One positive from this study: knowing Long COVID exists and can raise heart‑disease risk must drive better training for health staff — so more clinicians recognise its serious impacts and patients aren’t missed.

"AI-PACE: a framework for integrating AI into medical education" proposes a longitudinal model for AI competencies across medical training, addressing gaps in cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning. #AI #MedicalEducation https://www.nature.com/articles/s41746-026-02768-2
AI-PACE: a framework for integrating AI into medical education - npj Digital Medicine

Medical AI education remains fragmented, specialty-skewed, and lacks longitudinal structure, particularly for generalist physicians. Through an integrative review of 23 peer-reviewed articles (2016–2025), we identified three structural gaps: short-term interventions without reinforcement, procedural-field bias, and consistent under-representation of the Affective domain. We present AI-PACE (Psychomotor, Affective, Cognitive, Embedded), a Bloom’s Taxonomy-grounded framework organizing AI competencies longitudinally across undergraduate, graduate, and continuing medical education.

Having spent years in intensive care units, I believe the best insights come from bridging textbook knowledge with practical, hands-on clinical experience. 🏥💡 #MedicalEducation #ClinicalLife #NursingOfficer #CriticalCare
