@tombowpencil Hello! Could you please provide an update on the Zoom 505 and it's refills going forwards?

[ambu (Dan) ce @DSiddins]

@tombowpencil Has the zoom 505 been cancelled? Will the proprietary refills continue to be manufactured?

The paradox of interpreting the ECG with a RBBB:
- Overt STE may be present, satisfying OMI/STEMI criteria, but it is not appreciated; or conversely
- The widened QRS of a normal RBBB ECG is misinterpreted as suggesting OMI/STEMI, despite normal ST segments.
A 🧵.

@armyemdoc Not the graveyard, just the back of the bus. Still effective as a splint. Need to get away from saying they tamponade bleeding and treat as nothing more than a splint.

Two Colorado paramedics found guilty of criminally negligent homicide in the death of Elijah McClain. A truly tragic patient encounter for Elijah. Below is a link to the detailed court reporting from Colorado Public Radio. Hopefully we can learn from this preventable death. 1/2

The Webinar includes discussion of multiple ECG examples highlighting specific ECG findings that indicate either whether or not an acute OMI is present

@heli_med_james @emmajoyfulford I actually stopped wearing mine at the start of the pando, now using clock on zoll/hospital walls/ambulance dash/PC. Always at least 1 of those facing me at work 🥲 Agree banning them seems silly in light of long sleeves + winter though
