Exploratory data analysis from the CRASH-3 and CRASH-2 trials (excluding patients with GCS 3 and bilateral unreactive pupils) shows a reduction in early death and 28-day mortality in patients given #TXA within 3 hours #GEMLRtoparticle @IST_3 @HaleemaShakur https://t.co/G2fYXdZzgk

3-day #amoxicillin course found to be non-inferior to 5-day in Malawian children with chest-indrawing pneumonia. The WHO already recommends 3-day course for pneumonia with fast breathing. This may simplify treatment recommendations for clinical pneumonia. https://t.co/8BOstPWYG1

In patients with undifferentiated hypotension, a point-of-care ultrasound #POCUS protocol added to standard resuscitation did not result in improved resuscitation or patient outcomes in this randomized controlled trial. https://t.co/5NSnW7G5pM

Triage training nurses in a Sierra Leone pediatric hospital led to improved detection of emergency signs, faster triage of sick patients and improved time to antibiotic/antimalarial administration 6 months after intervention #triage https://t.co/aTWZb6AbMh

Increased attention and funding are required to go beyond educational initiatives with self-reported measures and little follow-up time to robust interventions that will reduce the global burden of unintentional injuries among children. #GEMLRtoparticles https://t.co/YpQLUCjLSM

In assessment of perceptions of a new standardised trauma form in Tanzania, many participants felt it would lead to improved quality of care in hospitals, reduce admin documentation workload, and positively perceived the use of the form.

Only about 30% of junior doctors in Egypt had adequate knowledge of #CPR, according to this study, but almost all of them had a positive perception of CPR when surveyed.

Telehealth applications in disaster situations can be an effective and creative solution towards bridging the gap in care within these high-acuity, limited-resource contexts. #GEMLRtoparticles https://t.co/KbrhZD8C6g

The 1st #RCT on negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) in @LancetGH suggests no clinical benefit of using NPWT for conflict-related extremity wounds. In resource-limited settings, money & resources required for this therapy may be better utilized elsewhere https://t.co/SU9wAaLSgk

The Helping Babies Breathe training and resuscitation method was found to be effective in reducing intrapartum and neonatal mortality measures within the first week of life in low resource settings. #systematicreview #GEMLRtoparticles #hbb https://t.co/M9t0xid6Hd

“If everyone is immediate, then no one is immediate” applies universally to low-resource settings. Inappropriate allocation of resources can result in death. The SATS scale decreased overtriage rates in Nairobi, Kenya. #gemlrtoparticles https://t.co/fPMHGxpXFV

Bubble CPAP showed no benefit and potential for harm in children with severe pneumonia in this RCT from Malawi. Indiscriminate use of #bubblecpap could have serious consequences. #globalchildhealth #gemlrtoparticles Photo credit RT Magazine

Once in a great while, the stars align & I find myself in a very complex, intimidating, almost impossible situation.

Surprisingly, the overwhelming emotion isnt fear, but a sense of affirmation.
