This is a fantastic opportunity for #EMS practitioners to get hands-on training, skills, education, procedures, and pearls directly from #EMSDocs in a cadaver lab. Come join me, @joeholley, and @ParagonMedEdu in NW Arkansas on 3/14-3/15.

Please contact your US Representative today and encourage them to walk down the hall at the Capitol tomorrow evening and watch this very important #EMS documentary and to join the Congressional EMS Caucus to further the mission of advocacy for EMS professionals & our communities!
Thanks for sharing! Somehow when I started this talk, there were only 2 others on the stage with me, but by the time I ended 3.5 minutes later, the whole gang of @EaglesGather was up there! They snuck up like ninjas! #EaglesGather23
I’m going to miss working with this guy on a variety of EMS programs and projects.
Thank you Rick Murray, you’ve left it better then you found it!
Please enjoy your retirement.

@ImprovEric@EaglesGather@1stThere1stCare Great question...I have both ground & air services in rural areas where HEMS usage to send the pt out helps keep the single ambulance in the community. You could argue it's still appropriate usage..."to prevent depletion of local EMS resources" is how we document it.
.@DrMackey1 discussing the impact & sheer simplicity of 20 min of cool running water w/in 3 hours of burn injury to make significant improvements in morbidity. Study came from a massive meta-analysis w/11k+ pts! Very impressive numbers! #EaglesGather23

Absolutely brilliant talk by @HandtevyMD. Papers include:
1) Ventilations in pedi arrest
2) Fluids in sepsis
3) Prehospital whole blood
4) Prehospital antibiotics for sepsis
5) Epi in shockable rhythms
Key Point: READ the papers to see if the science is sound! #EaglesGather23
Here is a link to my #EaglesGather23 talks and the 5 "landmark" papers that EMS systems should ignore.
Feel free to R&D. Delete my name and add yours...it's all good.

899 multi dose epi pts vs 799 single dose epi pts.
9.9% vs 13.2% survival to hospital discharge.
7.6% vs 9.1% favorable neurologic outcome.
More epi during cardiac arrests equals MORE ROSC, but no improvement in neuro outcomes.

ACE: Abdomen, chest, extremity
- new patient EMS extraction order of importance in intentional MCI
Abdomen needs OR
Chest has EMS/ED options
Extremities can be tourniqueted
@drmackey1#EaglesGather23
The feasibility & utility of triage algorithms & tags are being scrutinized as MCI's evolve. @drmackey1 & Chief Saari of @SacFirePIO suggest that you ask the "4 S's" to see if triage tags are going to be helpful or not.
Use the "ACE" acronym for sorting.

Dr. Scheppke of @HealthyFla is discussing the use of ketamine for status epilepticus.
Read more about the pathophysiology and pharmacology, as well as WHY ketamine is the better agent. I've used this in my practice with success!

.@colwellMD is discussing the top 5 trauma #EMS papers from the past year. #EaglesGather23
1) https://t.co/CG1WX0GUfz
We need to keep BP up in trauma patients, but crystalloid is not the answer. Need to limit to ~250cc and get comfy with lower BP's.
Always honored to be part of this great group of #EMSDocs who are laboring hard to improve prehospital care for their patients, communities, AND improving work environments for their #EMS clinicians. #EaglesGather23
