@gscollay@zachcantor@criticalevels Huge thanks to @zachcantor for his excellence as a dialogue ninja - asks the right questions to insure the speaker’s message gets out in a way that is meaningful for paramedics. 🚑
Are you an 'everybody gets salbutamol' paramedic? I wrote a talk just for you at @PAC_Expo in Halifax next month. I get to present with my favourite people including @IanR_Drennan@anthony__RRT@georgette_eaton@st3v3turn3r Register: https://t.co/d4d0LVTNvU
Almost half (47%) of all children that die in the first 5 years of life do so in the neonatal period - I’ve got a mnemonic to share that identifies 10 common Neonatal Emergencies. Hear more at @PAC_Expo Sept. ‘24. Excited to join @IanR_Drennan@ThatJonLee and others!
@vicgoddard That is very disheartening to hear.
It reminds me of the saying that goes something like Judges make rulings, Surgeons make operations and Engineers make bridges …. but Teachers made all of them.
Thank your sister for her dedication - from this complete stranger.
@AndreaVerdiMD@armyemdoc@SCCM I think we agree on the seizure instance. Who gets RSI and the benefits of spontaneous breathing while intubated is too big to cover in X. To each their own.
@AndreaVerdiMD@armyemdoc@SCCM@AditGinde Sux when short duration of action is good - ie to not obscure seizures OR when pt’s spontaneous breathing is desired post intubation ie. (asthma / obstructive pathos) or to avoid start of ICU myopathy from paralytics / steroids.
Honoured to have Dan Pesek present at SickKids ACTS team rounds today on 35 Years in Critical Care Transport. Experience is the one thing for which there is no shortcut ! Happy to say that I have worked with and learned from many in this photo.
@drkeithsiau@davideyoungmd In newborns it can be congenital or from drugs (like the list shown) - think inappropriate use of topical anaesthetic creams on circumcisions or teething gels on newborns for crying - as example of cases i’ve seen.
Love all your posts btw !
@CPER_HHS Thank You CPER for promoting Neonatal Emergency Care !
I’m looking forward to speaking to an always motivated and engaged Paramedic audience. 🚑🐣
@TOMedics_Chawla@TorontoMedics Wow Dan ! Congratulations. You have had a remarkable and deserving career in a field that will miss your incredible experience. Always loved comparing Critical Care Transport cases and teaching with you.
@pcampbell247 @TraumaSoapBoxes and (at least in my parts) designed to be compatible with almost all brands of monitor/ defib. 🤏Did you hear that ALine / CVP / ICP transducer / BP cuff / IV tubing set / Chest tube suction .. lol.
@DaveLBywater@AmboFOAM@expensivecare Agree- most times adult BVM vol. is overkill (esp in a “closed” system - cuffed ETT) but in an “open” system - uncuff trach & poor compliance, diff. mask ventilation, chest tube with ++ leak - here the extra bag vol. allows you to have a leak and have some vol. left just in case
@Prof_Parker@SickKidsCCM Wise words from a PICU trailblazer. He was also partial to West’s Resp. Physiology from what I recall from the many teaching rounds I attended.
@gueromedico@TrentWray@emcrit@PulmCrit Agree -Cook catheter is purpose made for ETT exchange / has cm markings / oxygen adapter etc. Bougie is not. Using the right tool for the job is one way to add safety to this procedure. Vice versa is also true Cook catheter not going to help you with ETT placement in DL / VL.
@EduMattersCA@BrebeufCollege@BrebeufSTEAM Wow .. brings back memories of from over 30 years ago with Mr. Krevs / Kosior / McSherry. Dress code looks a bit more relaxed than I recall. lol.
