@gmhales @1030pa Do you think 1200ml is a universally fatal blood loss??

[Resus Pieces @Resuspiece]

@matissearmani @David_Ornstein @TheAthleticFC @FA_PGMOL Disgraceful from @PGMOL_FA - honestly how is this not violent conduct? The force required to break his jaw?

@TJCoats No - not every arrest

Are we talking in hospital or pre hospital?

What will resuscitation look like in 2050?
Really looking forwards to hearing from the top next Thursday evening when we are joined by the Chair of the

@AirwayMxAcademy We need to do more awake intubation

In the UK, the system doesn’t support doing this regularly enough IMO

@KatCongleton @Nuke19386116 @medicalmodelbri To purposefully put a face mask not attached to oxygen on a hypoxic patient is not something I’d like to be trying to explain in a court of law

Excellent collaborative paper from the east of England!

New open-access paper from @EAAARAID

What is the value of HEMS?

Not just the intervention. Not just the aircraft. Not just speed. This study asks crews what HEMS actually adds at the scene.

“We definitely don’t have a drinking problem” 😂

[James @TypeForVictory]

My first professional job had lots of client lunches etc with alcohol. The unofficial code was (in pints equiv):

1 pint = back to work as normal
2 pints = get on with admin, reading, drafting
3 pints = read the paper, basic personal admin
4 pints+ = go home, catch up tomorrow

You never work *drunk*, but there's often stuff you can get done, even if it's just prepping stuff, printing, pruning spam emails, typing up some notes. I reckon 'walk through the door the whip is pointing you at' is not deeply challenging as intellectual tasks go.

Key point is that you have to catch up - the workload doesn't go away, so you just have to work harder and longer the next day. In some jobs that's a viable trade you can make, in others, it isn't. If you want that flexibility, get a job where it is.

@mancunianmedic @DeniseC48200342 @dieracg @medicalmodelbri As you say I'm not sure that really matters if scope isn't contained in some way. Why would specialist training or certification make any difference if trusts can do what they want? If all activity can be either reassigned or delegated, then nothing means anything.

@glurcher @PeterStefanovi2 Remarkable but true

Initial outcome measures in anaesthetics are scarily binary, but what process measures matter most?

Paper charts were an inaccurate data hell hole, so❓were hard to answer

With electronic records & a few prompts, what should we now be asking?

It’s Intra-op BP control for me…
