@eoconor209 @stabrennan @ritakj @MedCouncilIRL @AssocEmergMedIE @EmergencyProg Agree. More likely to make me refer patients back to their GP to order their own tests as outpatient, if not an Emergency.

@MedFactChecks @amalmattu @UMEmergencyMed @UMEMresidency Paediatric CT C-spines under 6 years of ages should be avoided if possible. MRI is recommended for all patients with abnormal neurologic examination: Me, a c spine policy 2017

@MedFactChecks @amalmattu @UMEmergencyMed @UMEMresidency Children less than five years old who present to the ED with trauma and are not intubated, not comatose, lack neurologic findings (motor or sensory), without neck symptoms such as pain or torticollis do not need imaging of the C-spine: Hale 2015

@BrooksWalsh @JSweenen V4 yes. V2/V3 depends on patient’s age and gender.

@AirwayLegend @JBLascarrou @RussottoVin @SheilaMyatra @AirwayMxAcademy @jducanto Thanks for the video. The issue I have with that is that sometimes in a crash intubation, in a difficult airway, getting the second view might not be possible.

@AirwayLegend @JBLascarrou @RussottoVin @SheilaMyatra @AirwayMxAcademy @jducanto Sometimes ETT can’t get past arytenoids.
I see you’re the inventor, probably an element of bias there.

@AirwayLegend @JBLascarrou @RussottoVin @SheilaMyatra @AirwayMxAcademy @jducanto I’m not disagreeing with the use of a bougie but the lack of direct visualisation as explained in the Vimeo video.

@AirwayLegend @JBLascarrou @RussottoVin @SheilaMyatra @AirwayMxAcademy @jducanto I also railroad, but you must encounter situations where the tube won’t pass cords despite bougie being in right place. Direct vision helps overcome that.

@HumanFact0rz @petrosoniak @JeannieCallum @LeechCaroline @traumaicurounds I'm not going to comment as I'm in the slightly uncomfortable position of simultaneously knowing the results of CRYOSTAT-2, PATCH and UK-REBOA.

What I will say is that after this year, things are going to move up a gear.

[Simon Walsh @Simon_Walsh]

@Gabe__MD @CritCareReviews @nickmmark That’s what he’s saying!

🚩 Tranexamic Acid - it's complicated....

➡️It's widely used for treatment & prevention of haemorrhage
➡️It's in the WHO's List of Essential Medicines & recommended in the European Traumatic Haemorrhage guideline (2023)
➡️But is it as efficacious as we think?

IAEM rejects the circular issued by a representative of RCPI regarding the referral of patients for evaluation by its doctors without having been ‘reviewed and appropriately worked up by ED doctors’ as inappropriate from a patient care perspective - https://t.co/RHvaTSZch9
