@BazingaKatie @RyanGamlin @tnicholsmd What exactly is terrifying about this? It's standard of care for over 20 years in most places of the country, chances are where you live too. The only frightening part is how this is just now a thing. Makes me concerned about what else they are decades behind on.

@the_rbf @RyanGamlin First time I went to give NTG and ASA to a chest pain patient and then go to call an OHCA wo ROSC on scene, I thought the supervisor was going to have my head. Hard to believe over 12 years later there are still places that this is foreign to.

@the_rbf @RyanGamlin Sad thing is that it started in Western PA in 2008. I started school there after working as a medic in Michigan for over 5 years. It was standard for us in MI and didn't realize how far behind that part of PA was.

@embasic Agree with many of the other posts. It's mostly cost and portability. I'm a big proponent of just using the soft collar with a soft collar as some parts of the country have gone to. They place a soft collar that has a sticker that states C spine not cleared.

@PhilTing That's the most oxymoronic thing I think I've ever heard a politician say

.@LakelandEMRes Great way to preoxygenate and this proves you don't need to worry about mask seal. I'd argue same result if using BVM https://t.co/nxEtxaaDB3

We finally got this published!

If you want to put a nasal cannula underneath a non-invasive mask in preparation for intubation, don’t worry about the mask leak

In healthy volunteers- NC increased mask leak by 1.7 LPM- stat (and clinically) insignificant- https://t.co/vuaugqrzlz

@EMsportsdoc Thoughts?

@EMsportsdoc There are a few points that contradict what we talked about the other day and what our typical practice is

The heroes in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest resuscitation are not ER doctors. The true heroes are the bystanders, EMTs, and paramedics.
