Thrilled our recent findings on rising rural ED visits (>50% in last 10yrs) pub'd in #JNO informing great journalism by @elisaslow. Also a reminder that #primarycare is truly the backbone of #ruralhealth. https://t.co/jLD30rO1ZM @kekocher @washingtonpost @EmergencyDocs

REBOA for traumatic bleeding isn't for the rural provider. It is only a temporizing measure when OR is immediately available.

Trauma surgeon asks, "anybody in a facility with no blood?"

A few hands go up. Someone in the audience says they don't have platelets and the entire audience murmurs the same.

Just another reason why we need to transfer rapidly.

I just did a sim were I delivered a breach baby. Yeah, I decided that I'll just cry if one comes into the ED and I have to deliver it breach.

Luckily I at least know what to expect now!

Refractory v-fib (ACLS protocols fail)? Try adding beta blockers! You can do 500 mcg esmolol or 2.5 mg aliquots of metoprolol.

"Some patients are too sick for RSI."

Remember that RSI can worsen their physiology before it improves. The super sick need resuscitation before RSI.
