@999METHANE Is there any evidence that HART have brought any true value to emergency or terror response in UK? Oz & other countries extend Fire Services or establish true multidis teams, not simply spend a fortune on elitist teams that work in isolation. Cost vs benefit ratio appears v poor
@999METHANE You clearly know lots about this……🙄. They had Fire, USAR and a multidisciplinary enhanced med team….what are HART bringing?? Are they expendables?? There is always risk, assess it, mitigate and manage it.
@PulmCrit 500 liters later, the MAP is still 50, the patient now can’t breathe and needs intubated, the kidneys are so congested they stopped working on the verge of CRRT … but hey the sepsis bundle has been fulfilled 😵💫

Tonight I helplessly held the hand of and stroked the hair of a beautiful 14 year old girl as she exited this world. She was looking forward to starting high school and eventually becoming a veterinarian. It was so senseless! I truly believe she could have been saved if her

Heard the characteristic sound of an AW139 helicopter overhead in the middle of the night. Checking Flight Radar 24 from my bed showed it was our retrieval aircraft Rescue 207. It was 1.39 am. An AW139 at 01.39!
Imagine my wife’s delight to be woken and informed of this marvel.
@EMManchester@karimbrohi@irishEDdoc The "six hour" came from this 1949 study of mid-thigh femoral artery ligation in the hind limbs of dogs. https://t.co/8HGB1m8F9n TL;DR: animals who were re-perfused within 6 hrs had 90% limb salvage...but...

ITACTIC is out!
Viscoelastic haemostatic assay augmented protocols for major trauma haemorrhage (ITACTIC): a randomized, controlled trial.
Thank you to everyone involved - it's hard to exaggerate how much time and work everyone put into this extraordinarily challenging study.

8 year old got humeral IOs, rapid sequence induction, surgical airway, anterior open thoracostomy, large volume prehospital blood, extended life plasma, cryoprecipitate, calcium and TXA via central line, pelvic binder and bilateral lower limb tourniquets. Thanks @HawkmoonHEMS
