This is probably a stupid question, but when using an iGel with catheter mount and HME filter are we taught to put the BVM down during AED analysis and shock delivery? They are all made from insulating materials and certainly donโt represent a path of least resistance. #resus
@wwallywarren@FfHarding@DomChrisOwens@Xinyan_Huang@BatteryFires In Europe a lot of the CNG buses have tanks on the roof. With properly functioning pressure relief valves you would get jets of flame such as this. A BLEVE would not really occur unless the safety systems malfunctioned.
@FfHarding@DomChrisOwens@Xinyan_Huang@BatteryFires Pressure relief valves would prevent an explosion on an LPG/CNG Vehicle, but I can see why there is some debate as the jets are firing in two different directions. Im on the fence with this one ๐ค
If you want to create professional rescuers with the ability to think, and make decisions, then you need to teach fundamentals, not rescue by numbers. #rescue#professionals#development#learning
Feedback is only worthwhile if you act upon it. The people you are teaching know how they learn better than you ever will. Actively seek out feedback and act on it. #Feedback#learning#education
Why do all the best ideas usually pop into the mind while showering? And does that mean that it is perfectly reasonable to have a โwrite in the rainโ pad between the shampoo and shower gel? #AskingForAFriend
Rescue Teams: -
The more complicated the system is, the longer it will take to set up and the more likely it will be for mistakes to be made. Ask yourself, is there a simpler way of completing the task? #keepitsimple#extrication#rescue
@keithca08751057 @PolScotCollege Attending incidents without basic first aid kit is like driving without a seatbelt. You wonโt always need it, but when you do you will be really glad you had it. The environment we operate in has changed significantly, and all first responders should adapt to meet the challenge.
Some interesting comments on the patient report form poll. What is important to remember is that โif it wasnโt written down, it didnโt happen.โ Should the worst happen written evidence is invaluable. All paperwork should follow the patient on their journey through the system.
Remember: when assessing competence it is about candidates achieving goals through safe, justifiable and efficient means, not ticking boxes. There is no such thing as a one size fits all approach.
