It is hard resuscitating patients on the ward 🏥
You don't have the same resources, personnel, or familiarity with the physical space. This can lead to slow and clunky resuscitations. 🦥
Here are 10 tips for smooth resuscitations on the ward that I learned as a paramedic (and now ICU doctor) 🚑

@nursekelsey Oh goodness. I seperate down to colours, all blues together, all reds, whites, black and neutrals. Towels, sheets and socks seperate.
I only wash once or twice a week so usually a big enough load to do this. If I have to mix colours I’ll only do a cold wash!
Adrenaline (AAI) a drug which was never been evaluated in #anaphylaxis. Pros. -
First do no harm!
Empower patients to do 'something' during an acute attack!
Reduce doctor and patient anxiety!
Prescribing without a plan & training = No treatment & suboptimal care # EAACI2024
Important to think about how to reduce anxiety and increase confidence in people with food allergy: food challenges alone and epipen self administration increase HRQoL! Paul Turner. #EAACI2024@EAACI_HQ
@DrPaulYT... The most important slide of the whole presentation... psychological desensitisation is no less important in clinic than allergen desensitisation #EAACI2024
The paradigm of food allergy treatment is changing - peanut OIT now in EAACI guidelines, recommended for children/adolescents with IgE mediated peanut allergy. High level of evidence. @alex_fsantos@EAACI_HQ#EAACI2024
@philharvey65 Not just that, the way he is holding them, they are locked in close to him. Protected. Safe. All will hopefully help minimise the trauma of that day.
