In Nova Scotia, major trauma patients do very well once they make it to our Level 1 hospital (QEII HSC).
However, almost 70% of the victims who die from their injuries pass away BEFORE they reach our hospital.
This is why injury prevention and trauma education are so important
🎄🎅 Paramedic Association of PEI, PEI RCMP, Island EMS, Montague Fire Department, The Real George’s Deck and Recovery, Ferguson-Logan Funeral Home and City Cab Company ask you to think about consequences of driving impaired. Make the right choice - never drive impaired

Today we recognise the annual Restart a Heart Day raising awareness about cardiac arrest and the importance of CPR as a lifesaving skill. Performing CPR can more than double the chances of survival in some cases.
Your two hands can help save a life💚

FYI: Guidelines should guide care not dictate care.
They are called GUIDElines not GODlines.
Clinicians still need to apply their judgment & ask patients values/preferences. #EBM
