FOLKS—if you think #COVID19 cases is really bad in the US, it is even more epically surging in the UK 🇬🇧 & Ireland 🇮🇪. I made a short video... and highlighted the simultaneous rise in the more contagious b117 variant. Denmark CDC thinks B117 will become dominant strain by Feb. 🧵

@drlauraduggan and the irony of using Arethra Franklins song "Think".... its about freedom and gender inequality. A feminist LGBTQ icon and supporters song, honestly...duh

@gaspasser @WAAGBali
Angle of the airway exchange catheter matters
Make sure the AEC is along the path of the glottis when re-intubating NOT at 90 degrees to the glottis (i.e. straight out of the patient’s mouth)

@drlauraduggan says it’s time to simplify emergency airway management. We don’t need more equipment and guidelines, we need less. Let’s move towards Advanced Airway Management @WAAGBali

Dr Megan Quedley
In mass casualty emergency medicine becomes the control center
All specialists congregate there, accept consults/admissions without question
Everyone works together
Helpful to know one another’s names/skill sets prior
And hollow point bullets are a war crime
