Time for clinicians to set standards:

I will not ask our team to intubate without proper PPE

I will not ask our team to run a code without proper PPE

Clinicians are a limited resource

[EMS Medical Director @EMSMedDirector]

I highly recommend EMS crews use adjunct airways such as the i-Gel or King LTS rather than endotracheal intubation at the present time especially in any suspected COVID-19 patient.

@wellnessrf Here are the faces of frontline #COVID19 heroes...ER nurses.

[Ken Milne MD @TheSGEM]

To my EM family:

Many of us will get sick.

Some of us may die.

It is an honour to stand beside you during this #COVID19 pandemic.

You are all heroes.

I love you #FOAMed friends.

Stay safe...

I’ve been saying this all along. It’s about keeping disruptions in CPR to a minimum. #NAEMSP2019

I tried to donate blood today but they asked waaay too many questions, like "where did you get this" and "whose blood is this?"

EMS agencies with high rate of field termination of resuscitation also have high rates of ROSC, survival to discharge and clinical outcome in cardiac arrest. #NAEMSP2018

[EMS Medical Director @EMSMedDirector]

Great thought process. https://t.co/nMTolT0BxQ

[Patrick Fok @PFokEM]

Should we start putting forth rapid sequence airway (RSA) as another prehospital airway option for paramedics? First step is to squash the myth that a supraglottic airway is a sign of failure or ineptitude. #NAEMSP2018 @ketaminh @kovacsgj

Dr. Kate Remick on pediatric cardiac arrest: epinephrine administration given at longer intervals (5-8 min) and without intubation May increase survival #NAEMSP2018
