You NEED to know how to identify and manage alternative fuel vehicles in the First Few Moments. Thanks @romduck @fireengineering

[Rommie Duckworth @romduck]

What do your #firefighters do to identify and manage AFVs at motor vehicle collisions? How can we help them?

[FirstFewMoments, inc @FirstFewMoments]

Thank you. This is literally what the mission of First Few Moments is all about. Great job @IAFFLocal1739

[Rommie Duckworth @romduck]

A huge thanks to all of our sponsors as well as our guest speakers, @PJNorwood267309 and Chief Rich Thode. I look forward to seeing you at the symposium tomorrow!

[Rommie Duckworth @romduck]

Chief Pete Hosey and I hope to see you on 9/22 at 9:45 for Big Lessons from Big Incidents where we discuss our first-hand lessons learned from response to major events. See you at #EMSWORLDEXPO2023

The fact that hospital outcomes were received for only 1.4% of #EMS PCRs is disgraceful. This is not a technology issue. This is a hospital administration issue. #EMSWorldExpo

[Rommie Duckworth @romduck]

This is important for everyone to see. NY is a model for #EMS end of life clarity.

[Jeff Jarvis @DrJeffJarvis]

So excited to see these results

This is awesome for #firstresponders! @WGUNC is Offering Exclusive Scholarships for First Responders! If you’re an #EMT #Paramedic #firefighters #policeofficer this is a great chance for your bachelors or masters degree

We miss Gino very much.

There is a significant difference between respectfully terminating resuscitation and presuming futility.

[Rommie Duckworth @romduck]

I'm working on a project to make recommendations for management of out of hospital traumatic cardiac arrest. I'm presenting the #EMS perspective. What should be included? What are your concerns? How do we build a recommendation that works in the "real-world?"

[Rommie Duckworth @romduck]

From research, training, and personal experience, the "pragmatic" approach mentioned here is key. Most triage systems fall apart under pressure, and are useless if not regularly practiced. Providers need to be competent and confident. TST may help. https://t.co/OtTyNOCqpJ

[FirstFewMoments, inc @FirstFewMoments]

No triage tool or MCI management system is perfect for all situations, but simpler is better for provider retention and practice.

[Rommie Duckworth @romduck]

I'm very surprised that more #EMS in the US aren't looking at the 10 Second Triage tool from the UK. No numbers. Visual assessment. Talking-Bleeding-Walking-Breathing. https://t.co/vQRstoJIUH

[Rommie Duckworth @romduck]

I'm proud to be a part of the program thanks to @DrLindaDykes . I've learned a ton from my UK colleagues and look forward to giving back.

The best leaders don’t set out to change the world. Rather, they set out to empower their team members to change the universe

Have you had a bad boss? What category would you put them in? Tyrannical bosses are the worst and will put others down/set them back. -@AmiTomaszewski #CCTMC23

#EMSontheHill Day Our #EMS crew from Connecticut spoke with Rep. Joe Courtney (D-CT) today on Capital Hill. @NAEMT_ @VollyEMSNancy @romduck @JoeCourtneyCT

[Rommie Duckworth @romduck]

Are you an #EMS leader, ready to help others with their leadership journey? Applications are now open to be a mentor with the #NAEMT Lighthouse Leadership program. Deadline is 10/21/22 https://t.co/Q1ILzbOy7I

[Rommie Duckworth @romduck]

This is an important resource for us to share with both the public and our colleagues. Don't assume people know about it. Don't wait until a crisis reveals itself.

[Rommie Duckworth @romduck]

Thank you. And here I am at #IACLakePlacid with @jducanto at the same time!

[Rommie Duckworth @romduck]

Amazing numbers but even more amazing content, honestly.

[RQI Partners @RQIPartners]

We're excited to introduce a new video series focused on CPR improvement. You’ll hear from first responders, clinicians, bystanders, and survivors who are working to increase survival from out-of-hospital cardiac arrest within their communities.
