You are looking better sonographically! Thanks for being so willing to share your experience. This has helped our understanding a lot and we likely would have way over triaged without knowing clinically you were doing ok. 💕
@AidanBurrell But that difference in survival would most likely reflect the difference in pts with some circulation still intact and pts in circulatory arrest.
@iceman_ex@Simon_Finney Interesting. Have only read the abstract so maybe there’s more to it but that seems pretty low. Our data (and the ELSO registry) would suggest 30% survival from ECPR (although that includes in-hospital and out of hospital arrests). 🤷🏻♂️
Sometimes ECMO gets dismissed as just an expensive gizmo. Wrong. Along with effective communication, it is the most powerful intervention in crit care - seen it rescue too many people when “death has got the timing wrong”. Of course, with great power comes great responsibility...
Just love scrolling through all the tweets from #ASM19KL . Looks like a great anaesthesia conference. Lots of different topics. And not just the obvious ones. Great job @ANZCA
A mnemonic for how to spell “mnemonic”:
M - mnemonics
N - never
E - ever
M - make sense to me since they’re
O - obscure, non-sensical, and full of
N - nebulous ideas which are more
I - impossible to remember than the fact you’re trying to remember in the first place
C - crayon
The National Hospital in Colombo saw over 160 patients in the space of only a few hours on Sunday. Without hitting capacity issues. Incredible work from skilled and dedicated teams. Very privileged to spend the morning meeting staff and understanding their impressive response.

You can use it to run a RCT with one group per each site (as we do in #BaSICS) or even to run a country (!?!), but perhaps the latter is too much...

This turned into a massive and super interesting thread for anyone into (trauma) hemorrhage, fluid resus and coagulopathy.
Clean discussions, different takes and opposing views made this gold.
No set conclusion, but lots of new ideas and food for thought 🤓
To all of you who are the @London_Trauma System, it's been a full-on few weeks, even for us. Many of us are feeling a bit tired and a bit frazzled. Thank you for everything you have given. Remember to take a bit of time for yourselves and your colleagues. (There's more coming). K
Hi Everyone! I’m looking for an awesome (trauma)surgeon who also knows a thing or two about critical care, bleeding, physiology and has a sense of humour.For an expert panel at @TacTrauma in Oct. ”Controversies in advanced trauma care” Any ideas? @traumadoctors@EAST_TRAUMA DM me
⛑️ We believe science, exchange and hand on in small groups is the best way for learning ECPR and REBOA. We have developed a course with international colleagues with very high experience ! Next available is in April. Book on line 👉https://t.co/DTlR084i1V #ParisRescue19#REBOA
