Tick Tock! We lose accurate awareness of time when under pressure. Does making a HEMS team actively aware of passing minutes improve on-scene time? Yes! Latest @airambulancekss paper https://t.co/O67QJ4yVq9
And then go fast to theatre with the sickest ones.. rebleed is a real danger for the sickest... and triples mortality...
Also implications for retrieval.... competent retrieval’s !!!!!!!!!!!
Here is the paper suggesting that PHEA for awake hypovolaemic trauma patients may be harmful - do not RSI for flight safety or predicted clinical course!! https://t.co/FgANmIASXI
Lots of AMAZING people out there... but maybe always putting “the amazing” in front of names make others feel LES valuable?? Thought of that?? Maybe we all should think about it whilst promoting courses, talks, boards etc.....
Great to be back at @HEMS_Doc s impressive #prehospitalkurs I get to teach how to make your own simulations. Right now though listening w/ great interest to @VikingOne_ who with loads of experience, humor (and biased as hell as he disclaimed😊) is talking about resc thoracotomy
After 30 years of cardiac arrest resuscitation research, a few reflection. I think we're on the threshold of substantially increasing survival from cardiac arrest.
