Ambulances queuing outside an ED this week. Patients inside. New figures from England & Scotlan awful. Expect similar from Wales & N.Ireland. Underwhelming plans, poorly implemented, and sense of denial / normalisation of harm to patients and staff. Both deserve better. @RCollEM
Der var fyldt og repektfuldt tavs rum tidlig morgen ved 2. #DEMC10 dag. Tværfaglige stemmer gennemgik deres erfaringer og følelser fra den dag hvor dødeligt såret gravid kvinde pludselig var der.

Lyt til jeres patienter! De må gerne få smertestillende selvom de er i fast opioid behandling. Brug gerne lav-dosis ketamin.

Exit block is crucial to give good ED care and avoid crowding. Great talk from Ian Higginson, UK.
This has to be our focus both on day to day basis, when it’s a busy shift and I would say obviously the unfortunate day when it comes to a Mass Casualty.

Procalcitonin-guided antibiotika nedsætter behandlingstid og mortalitet hos akutte luftvejsinfektioner. En lys fremtid for intranasal antibiotika. Mange gode muligheder kommer for pneumonibehandling, flot præsenteret af Theis Skovsgaard Itenov.

Helene Mens fra RH sætter TBE encefalitis i kontekst: der er meget få tilfælde hvert år i Dk og de fleste ender tilbage på jobbet uden mén.

Så er DEMC10 akutkonference skudt i gang! Jonas Egebart, direktør for Sundhedsstyrelsen understreger vigtigheden for et velfungerende og specialiseret akutsystem. #Demc10
Ikke råd til at hæve prisen på cigaretter, da det vil medføre fald i forbruget… lader vi lige stå et øjeblik🙄 - er resten af Jeres plan ligeså pinlig uambitiøs?!

📺This video is to raise public awareness of the issues our members and patients face in A&Es every day.

Does the age of your emergency physician influence the chances of survival?
The observational data says yes, but why might that be and what might we do about it?

Adrian Parry Jones on management of ICH and on anticoagulation. ABC care package
A - reverse anticoagulation within 1 hour of diagnosis
B - Reduce SBP below 140mmHg within 120 mins
C - Early ref to Neurosurgery for appropriate patients (E.g. hydrocephalus)

Great talk on POCUS in OMI from Claire Heslop (Toronto). Do more focused US in chest pain and validate your clinical intuition when ECG is not significant enough.

Rappel d’équivalence
Un bière même à 4-5 degré c’est de l’alcool
Et oui la vitesse de consommation influe sur le taux d’alcoolémie
Donc rappelons : boire avec modération (quantité ET vitesse de consommation)
