@medic_m_a_c I had a pair of tracerlites about 8-9 years ago and they lasted me twice as long as any boot I’ve had since. My current Lowa Z8N’s are giving them a run for their money though!

[Iain Beardsell @docib]

It’s always good to have effective analgesia that doesn’t require a cannula. Is nebulised ketamine an option? @stemlyns

@ChippyLyn This made me laugh way more than it should have 😅

[Elliott Rees 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @elliott_rees]

@DrChrisHingston I wonder if there were any incidences of tissue necrosis? Given that it’s 10 x the “normal dose” of IM adrenaline sitting in poorly perfused muscle.

That said, I’d rather a gammy deltoid than..well..death, if it does improve outcomes that much!

@TimAustin87 @GWAAC @SCAS999 @swasFT @Ldn_Ambulance @NWAmbulance @EMASNHSTrust @NEAmbulance @AirAmbulanceNI @EMRSscotland For me there’s two considerations. The primary and secondary. 1) what is the quickest way to get the patient in front of someone who can provide blood product resuscitation and a thoracotomy if required. 2) where does the patient need to go in order to be definitively managed

@BCEHSCCP @DipRTM At the moment it’s mainly national guidelines, ABC R&T, Oxford handbooks, and cases in retrieval medicine. Huuuge curriculum so difficult to revise for!

[Elliott Rees 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @elliott_rees]

Not for the first time, and unlikely to be the last…I find myself revision cramming for a trip to Edinburgh. @DipRTM this time! …pass or fail - the prep for this exam has been hugely beneficial in plugging some knowledge gaps in my practice - definitely worth consideration!

@Dr_JonL @SWTraumaNetwork Well done mate 👏 thoroughly deserved!

[Elliott Rees 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 @elliott_rees]

@AlexNevard I think that depends on how prepared the resus cubicle is for the procedure & how far it is from the ambulance doors. In terms of who, I don’t think it matters who wields the scalpel- but mgmt should be lead by whoever has the most experience of the procedure.
