King County EMS COVID-19 Lesson Learned:
For suspected infectious cases, send one member as a scout wearing mask, eye pro, & gloves. Standing 6' away, the scout determines if the rest of the crew is needed. This reduces crew exposure and saves PPE. @SayreMR @andymccoymd

Support the #HeroesNeedMasks campaign. Anyone with PPE supplies in the community - dental offices, academic labs, private citizens - please donate gloves, masks, gowns, and eye protection to frontline healthcare workers. Your first responders have some of the highest risk!

Today I modified our EMD card to include diarrhea as we are seeing cases of #COVIDー19 present with GI symptoms. Reports suggest that the virus replicates in the gut. In Broward we use the term "P-36 ALERT"

@amalmattu was misrepresented on Twitter. In his ACEP lecture he presented 10 consecutive cases in which the computer interpreted the initial ECG as normal & yet the patient shortly thereafter had full-blown STEMI, and emphasized to NEVER trust a "normal" computer interpretation.

ECG machine is unreliable even for STEMI: up to 40% false positive rate and up to 42% false negative rate in diagnosing STEMI (Schlapfer & Wellens, JACC 2017) #ACEP18

Here's a thought: Push pressor epi for pediatric cardiac arrest. After the Paramedic2 trial it's clear that late epinephrine is worthless (avg time to epi was >21 min). But why are we giving lethal doses of epi to begin with? Let's reconsider before we abandon epi altogether.

"If #CPR or #defibrillation is not given within about five minutes, the chances of survival are dismal, regardless of the age," said Dr. Stephen Kuehn, interventional cardiologist with @CoxHealth. https://t.co/fxNWP6qf6y
