I like exercise, paramedicine, research and learning. Paramedic | Queen’s student | McNally | CFL-2. RTs ≠ support. Opinions are my own and subject to change.

Signaling via A1 adenosine receptors in cardiac tissue leads to ⬇️ cAMP activity and opening of hyperpolarizing membrane potassium channels.

🔑This decreases conduction speed through the AV node (aka negative dromotropy).

Why would adenosine, a purine nucleoside, be able to treat supraventricular tachycardias (SVT)?

And why are its effects so short lived (e.g. <2 seconds)?

The answers will change the way you think about this drug.

We have heard sad news that a paramedic was killed in the line of duty last night.

Please hold their family in your thoughts, including the first responder community. Be gentle with us as we mourn another colleague that has been taken too soon.

Looking frwd to presenting with @cherylcookie21, @dr_laman_huss & @PatrickSuthers tomorrow about the need for an ethical decision-making framework in paramedicine! If you've ever felt forced to make pt care decisions that didn't align w/ ur values, this one is for you! #PACE2022

I want whatever the opposite of fast fashion is. I want slow fashion. I want to buy 4 pairs of pants and never think about pants again for the rest of my life.

Well deserved @BoechlerLindsey congratulations and thank you for being such an amazing research mentor to me personally ☺️ (Lindsey graciously took me in for my first research project over 2 years ago, a great paramedic leader)!

[McNally Project for Paramedicine Research @McNallyProject]

Congratulations to our Senior Fellow @BoechlerLindsey on receiving the @PAC_Paramedic Award of Excellence In Innovation and Research. We're all so proud of you Lindsey, well done!

"Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 'Wow! What a Ride!'" - Hunter S. Thompson

I wonder how using words like “non compliant, pain seeking” or other more subtle words like “tearful, refuse” affect patient care by the time a third or fourth provider reads a note.

A voyage into neuroscience of aggression reveals a (surprising to many) fact: The hypothalamic neurons that trigger aggression harbor estrogen not testosterone receptors, and yet, respond best to estrogen derived from testosterone. Hormones often work counter-to-popular ideas.
