Decent day

It's really good to see one of your patients actually improve, especially in the PICU. So many of these cardiac babies don't make it... I happen to have a hypoplastic left heart though that is actually down to 25% FIO2 and +5 PEEP with minimal support in Pressure Support/Pressure SIMV.
One big kid today too, had a ASD repair and I extubated her without incident after a few hours.
And then there are the trolls. Those kids that shake their sedation off, get pissed and try to die on you. Thank you Baby Jesus for Vecuronium!
