@coollyndz Yes and no. It’s not about sustaining PAO2 to spend the rest of the flight at cruising altitude (you’re right, you're pissing in the wind at 38000ft), it’s about prolonging TUC just long enough to allow the pilot to descend to a more physiologically conducive altitude.

@CatrionaDavis I will defer to a native Gàidhlig speaker but is it perhaps more like “wee mousey”?

[Alastair Baird @BairdyAl]

@CatrionaDavis It’s the diminutive suffix - i.e. a wee mouse

100 times this. Concentration of risk in one area is unsafe for patients and staff.

Fantastic flight out to the west of 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 on ⁦@scotambhelimed5⁩ checkout the Aurora Borealis under Night Vision!

@nickpheath @StephenHearns1 Leave clothes on but ensure pockets empty and zips are out of the way for binder. Don’t want to risk inducing hypothermia in your potentially bleeding patient.

[Stephen Hearns @StephenHearns1]

Any other prehospital services using measuring K+ & oesophageal temps on scene for prognostication using HOPE score please get in touch.

Keen to assess how widespread use is for exposure hypothermia, avalanche & water incidents.
