Meeting lionel duke was a lovely experience. It's rare to meet someone you had a hand in saving and to see how excellent his recovery has been was incredible.

[Lewis Bridson @BridsonLewis]

Out on watch tonight with @merseysidewr, providing rescue and first aid. To all those working in services tonight, have a good watch.

Question- is the hyperkelemia due to the insulin not being given and if so would this be the first line treatment or due to his kidney function not given. Just a uni case that interested me and im thinking about.

[Lewis Bridson @BridsonLewis]

(Hypothetical case)
56 Yr old male. Post hip replacement. NEWS 6 confused/lethargic.
Pmh CKD - egfr 25ml t2dm on insulin.
Px omeprazole, furisimide, oxycodone. ( insulin not on Mars sheet).
Moderate hyperkelemia 6.2.

Heading into my third and final year of my nursing degree. 2 weeks of clinical skills and a 7 week placement on a general med ward to sink my teeth into.

@EM_RESUS Brady 50 bpm normal axis deviation. Hyperacute t waves in anterior and septal leads, reciprocal in avr. Suggests transmural ischemia anterior septal omi. I'd imagine Vfib likely followed.

@IhabFathiSulima Vasovagal syncope. He's a tad overwhelmed with nerves.

@IhabFathiSulima Skipping rope - giant atrial septal aneurysm.

[Lewis Bridson @BridsonLewis]

Coming into my third year of nursing studies I'm planning on going into A/E / RESUS however ive heard rumours that there is little to know career progression in this area. How true is that if anyone knows?

[Lewis Bridson @BridsonLewis]

@ParaAndy90 Congratulations, man!

[Lewis Bridson @BridsonLewis]

Another excellent session tonight. The crew are sharpening their skill set as First Responders. Dealing with drowning and a surprise penetrating neck wound/cat bleed.

[Lewis Bridson @BridsonLewis]

@NB592390 That's awesome 👌.

[Lewis Bridson @BridsonLewis]

@NB592390 Looks awesome. I'd love to attend, but I'm on a clinical placement.

@TheWardMedia @CrimeLdn RONALD WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU STEAL THAT CAR!

[Lewis Bridson @BridsonLewis]

Excellent training session tonight.
Concentrating on airway management, ventilation, and oxygenation. Minimising interruptions during chest compressions to maintain CPP. The team worked very well together and demonstrated synchronised pit rescue techniques.

There's so much research on the subject of drowning prevention. Simple techniques can save your life, and for those involved in life saving there is plenty of current research promoting evidence based procedures. @drpaddymorgan @adeymayhew_ @surflifesaving

[Merseyside Water Rescue @merseysidewr]

This #WorldDrowningPreventionDay learn to #FloatToLive:
🛟 Tilt your head back
🛟 Relax, breathe normally
🛟 Move hands/legs to help you stay afloat
🛟 It's ok if your legs sink, we all float differently

[Adrian Mayhew @adeymayhew_]

It’s #WorldDrowningPreventionDay. In the last decade over 3M lives have been lost. In the UK someone #Drowns every other day. Accidental drowning was 193 this year. People not intending to go into the water! So if you do, then #FloatLikeAStar 👇

@NWPCCC @NWAmbulance See you about if you're on the docks tonight. @merseysidewr
