Grand Rounds: Post-COVID respiratory management
2021-10-12 08:00 - 09:00
COVID19 survivors suffer from persistent respiratory symptoms and functional limitations after the acute infection. Longitudinal studies after SARS-CoV2 infection showed impairment in lung function exercise capacity and Lung imaging abnormalities. In this lecture, we review possible post covid pulmonary involvement with a focus on whether they develop fibrosis. We also review the latest evidence on the long term follow up. Possible treatment strategies are discussed including antifibrotic therapy, mesenchymal cell therapy, prolonged steroids therapy and pulmonary rehabilitation. We conclude with recommendations for pulmonary follow up and post covid clinic design.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation & Orange Shirt Day
2021-09-30 00:00 - 23:59
Our office will be closed on September 30th.

September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation (federal statutory holiday), which gives the public a chance to recognize and commemorate the intergenerational harm that residential schools have caused to Indigenous families and communities, and to honour those who have been affected by this injustice.

Every year on September 30th, people across Canada wear orange and participate in Orange Shirt Day events to recognize and raise awareness about the history and legacies of the residential school system in Canada. Orange Shirt Day originates from the story of Phyllis Webstad from the Stswecem’c Xgat’tem First Nation.

Most ICU doctors think they are good communicators. Maybe you are. Maybe you are not. But all of us can be better communicators. In this talk, we will share our experience in leading UK ICU teaching in breaking bad news and organ donation conversations. We’ll break some myths, share some approaches – including a structured approach which we call ‘Breaking bad news as a Shakespearean tragedy’ – and warn you of common pitfalls.
