Epic EM

EPIC EM was founded to start difficult conversations in the EM space, from First Responders to Critical Care providers, and everyone in between.

[ROCKET HEMS @ROCKET_HEMS]

As healthcare professionals, we understand the critical importance of ensuring patient safety. One such vital task is the proper disinfection of injection ports prior to medication administration.

@AirwayMxAcademy @epicEMC @mastersofresus For sure! In the context of the occasional neonatal retrievelist cognitive load is very real

[Hans Huitink @AirwayMxAcademy]

@epicEMC @mastersofresus Okay, fair enough, but if you do that on a daily basis I would call it routine. No extra cognitive load. If not experienced or very sick kiddo, it may be stressful indeed.

[Masters of Resuscitation @mastersofresus]

For neonates - if we are mcgiver-ing things for neonates then its probably not the right thing
If we could do the right thing for the neonate we might avoid the arrests
Maryna Venter speaking about neonatal retrieval

#mastersofresus

[Masters of Resuscitation @mastersofresus]

When it comes to the neonate there is a special consideration for EVERYTHING on the neonate - there is so much that we think we can just adapt from adults to neonates

#mastersofresus

[Masters of Resuscitation @mastersofresus]

Even dead space is a problem with neonates - take the end-tidal CO2, filter and additional dead spacer creaters off the ventilation circuit. Use humidified oxygen to drive the ventilator
#mastersofresus

[Masters of Resuscitation @mastersofresus]

End-tidal side stream ETCO2 draws around 50ml/min to achieve an accurate reading. This means almost half your ventilation disappears to an ETCO2 reading in a micro-prem!
Take it off once the ETT is confirmed

Is what you are doing a. appropriate and b. meaningful?

"The baby only survived because of preparation - not because we are amazing, the system needs to work to support the practitioner in finding the problem " Maryna Venter not realizing how absolutely amazing she really is! #mastersofresus

[Epic EM @EpicallyEM]

Maryna Venter - Neonatal Retrieval and Resuscitation - Specific considerations, starting with the fact that cold babies die, warming can not be the last consideration.

The annual award for MASTER Resusctiationist was awarded to the "Father of Resuscitation" in South Africa. Thank you Prof Kloeck for the work, passion and energy you have applied to resuscitation in SA!

[Masters of Resuscitation @mastersofresus]

When trying to decide to resus or not - err on the side of caution and on the side of life - but if there is enough information to show that it might be futile you might need to think carefully and advocate for the patient
