Michael Barraza and Aaron Fritts interview Dr. John Pavlus about his methods of drain placement, monitoring, and removal, as well as his vision to design an ideal drainage system. Dr. Pavlus became interested in abscess drains when he noticed that across different institutions had very different indications, types, and methods of putting in drains. Dr. Pavlus prefers to place drains under ultrasound guidance, and he will also obtain a CT image afterwards to ensure the drain is in place. The doctors discuss their favorite guidewires to use: Dr. Pavlus prefers the Coons wire and Dr. Barraza prefers the Amplatz wire. For deep pelvic cul-de-sac abscesses, Dr. Pavlus describes how he obtains transgluteal access and uses a Hawkins needle. Liver abscesses can be challenging, due to their variety of drainage contents (hematoma, bile, necrotic material), and increased time of drainage. We also discuss the debate between suction bulbs and gravity drainage bags, noting that research studies and personal experiences have not shown significant differences in the rate of fistula formation with either method. One exception is post-operative spinal drainage, where using suction could confer the risk of removing CSF. To assess when a drain needs to be removed, Dr. Pavlus monitors the output and obtains a CT. He prefers to take ownership of drain care and remove drains that he originally placed, but if needed, he also collaborates with trauma surgeons to ensure that drains and sutures are removed properly. Dr. Pavlus also recognizes the need to standardize follow up care for drains. Dr. Barraza describes a workflow for drain checks at his fellowship site, which included daily rounds and a standardized checklist for each patient. Finally, Dr. Pavlus speaks about his ongoing mission to design an ideal drainage system for various dwell times, viscosity of contents, and catheter sizes.

Hey everyone! We have a super important announcement - it's once again time for our annual 24-hour charity stream!! This year we'll be streaming to benefit MaineTransNet! MaineTransNet is a community based organization led by transgender people, for transgender people. They serve Maine's trans community in a ton of different ways, including support groups, transgender competency training, and advocacy work. We're so excited to support them with this year's stream! You're going to want to tune to twitch.tv/lefttriggerrighttrigger on Saturday, February 19 at 10 AM ET and stick around until Sunday, February 20 at 10 AM ET. Oh and just like last year, we'll be donating our Patreon contributions for February. Come hang out, keep us awake, and check out all the shenanigans. We hope to see you there!! Motion - is it more than just waggling a controller around? In this episode we seek to explore all aspects of this much-maligned game mechanic (and also discuss our struggles with motion sickness). In this episode - Giovanni mourns the death of motion based party games. David has to have a little lie down. Tess discusses why your body does not want to be an interface. Greg tries to learn a new joke.   As always, a huge, huge thank you to our patrons. Your support means the world to us. If you want to become a patron (and get access to some exclusive podcasts) you can sign up at patreon.com/LTRT.  If you don't have the cash to support us right now you can always leave us a review on your podcatcher of choice.  Maybe you should head over to lefttriggerrighttrigger.com to find all our social media and other content!! Games discussed include: WarioWare: Smooth Moves, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Super Hexagon, and Nike+ Kinect Training.

Our first guest today, John Pavlus, outlines the P vs. NP mathematical problem and how it relates to computer programming and the approach to computer programming and decision making. Most data we would like a computer to analyze (things like protein folding and financial trading) are NP problems with a range of possible answers vs. P problems (checklists). Our second guests, Jeff Martens and Matt Wallington from CPUsage, take your idle computer power and use it to work on high throughput computing problems (again like protein folding and financial trading).
