Back at it with our DR cABCDE series, delivered online by members of our committee. Great session last night!

[Dr Duncan Ritchie @DuncanRit]

Back doing some online teaching for @auwems on oxygen therapy (and more) yesterday evening. Interesting trying to deliver a normally very hands on session remotely!

UoA’s Endocrinology Society have created a fantastic resource with their podcast. This week’s episode focuses on diabetes, mental health and COVID, give it a listen! Thanks @aberdeenuniendo https://t.co/4FXPkZXUc9

Direct pressure for external haemorrhage control. Why one finger is better than a hand and why bandages on an actively bleeding wound are really unhelpful. 1. We need to compress a bleeding wound to overcome systolic BP e.g. 120mmHg. This is equivalent to 16,000N/m2.

Happy #wildmed father's day. Anyone want to guess what happened and how to treat?

The first time we can see dynamic view of how CPR may affect internal organs.
Chest compressions don't seem to compress the left ventricle. ?how does CPR work. New method described in Resuscitation: https://t.co/60a4ObMQ4e

Shot in the chest & drowning in a ditch, a Fijian pulled me above the water & a Ghanaian medic fought for my life. Flanked by Afghans, Brits put down fire as a US helo picked me up. Creeds,colours,nations,brothers: thanks & respect. ⁦ https://t.co/1rB9RMKcvI

Great time at the weekend delivering some #PHEM teaching with @auwems, good mix of #humanfactors skills and managing the trauma patient

[James Yates @heli_med_james]

Want to know how to identify shock in your trauma patient? How to treat it? What fluid to use? Which resuscitation targets to aim for?

Great! Tune in on Monday

Got other questions? They’re probably answered too. This episode is pretty epic....

@Gasdoc2857 @auwems @brightflame123 Great to hear things are kicking off well this year. Hopefully I'll manage to come down from Inverness to help out for a few sessions, missing the teaching time! @Gasdoc2857 @auwems

[Andrew Ronald (@westhillwanderer on Bluesky) @gasdoc2857]

Dropped in for this year’s introductory session with @auwems last night. Very impressed with the enthusiasm of those present. Back next week delivering training with @brightflame123.

Useful recap of triage sieve at #BSAC19. What is the role for the Triage SORT tool in the prehospital environment? @Volteral @BASICSScotland @Scotambservice

[AU Wilderness & Expedition MedSoc @auwems]

Any answers on the use of Triage SORT in #PHEM?
