Median time from injury to TCA (tamponade) 11 mins, but there is a window to intervene in this system (on scene 20 mins post injury).
Survival 52% (tamponade) if RT at point of TCA or within 1 minute!… not a treatment for exsanguination in this cohort https://t.co/3dcCA8YCDI

The #covidinquiry was back up and running this week and quickly into what some people think is one of the biggest scientific or policy mistakes (or 'misunderstandings' depending on your POV) of the whole pandemic. And it's all to do with how Covid is spread in the first place. 🧵

We all have fave central line approaches...given a choice, I do prefer the subclavian. It's just so reliable, esp in hypovolemia/shock. If you haven't done one in a while (or like many of our trainees, have NEVER done one) check out this refresher!

@amit_pawa @hasyourregtried @GSTTanaesthesia Also look early at the eligibility requirements to be able to sit part 2. Start on these early especially if in training with HEE study budget to make use of.
