Just finished reading this. An incredible and absolutely insane story of pre-hospital amputation in extreme circumstances...

[Dave Nicholson @DavidRNicholson]

@rachelgemma90 That story is utterly astounding, what a read, what an outcome.

[Dave Nicholson @DavidRNicholson]

@rachelgemma90 @ThomasBurton12 @SeanHarris999 one to share with @metpoliceuk colleagues?

[Dave Nicholson @DavidRNicholson]

I don't often get job jealousy, but damn that's a cool shot...

@EMDocJB @bradgander_ @Junaid_APP Losing the situational awareness is tough when in a solo practitioner role as there's so much to do to ensure the marginal gains of a well run OHCA implemented.

We do SPEAR in my hems role when part of a team however different kettle of fish as a solo CCP sadly, lots to do!

@DrRJWebb @RupertLowe10 Funny how I knew which political party this MP was from without even having to look it up...

[Dave Nicholson @DavidRNicholson]

@aaronhillmedic @bradgander_ Agreed, have used before, technically challenging and hard in the patient with a large body habitus but valid point!
We use the vScan air and it has a large cardiac probe so getting a sub-xiphoid can be tricky..

Maybe Doppler one day with some evidence/tech advancement

[Melinda (Dolly) Mcpherson @MelindaDollyMcp]

Do you have knowledge/experience in out of hospital cardiac arrest and Bystander CPR? I am looking for ‘experts’, ‘specialists’ and ‘informed individuals’ to contribute to a Delphi study to establish criteria of quality for bystander CPR in OHCA. Registration link in thread.

[Dave Nicholson @DavidRNicholson]

@HowdonC @rachelgemma90 You quite literally double survival in a paediatric OHCA population if you stay and get good, definitive ALS established before conveying to hospital.
Scoop and run is a thing of the past.

5% survival <10mins.
10% survival 10-35 mins.

@beifahrer_to_be @bradgander_ Can only speak for @HIOWAA , but our model is Dr/CCP. Rarely, if ever, do we go CCP/CCP and only due to short notice sickness.
We deploy solo CCP cars as well as do DSAA but these are in addition to the main teams.

[Dave Nicholson @DavidRNicholson]

Great to see some @HIOWAA data and research come to fruition.
