I’m following a post seeking opinions on transitioning from EMS to nursing. The comment section is largely dominated by those who have done so stating that they loved being a paramedic, but could no longer sacrifice time with family, opportunities for growth, & a living wage.

[Josh Farkas MD 💊 @PulmCrit]

cardiac output = (heart rate)(stroke volume)

if the heart rate isn’t super fast (eg perhaps under ~150ish), slowing it down will usually *decrease* cardiac output

for example: dropping heart rate by 30% wont cause stroke volume to increase by >30%

[IMCrit @IM_Crit_]

For those of use who work in the ICU and, unlike our ED colleagues, rarely see a myocardial infarction (MI) on presentation, these are some important electrocardiographic (ECG) patterns to consider as life-threatening STEMI equivalents:

Actually a lot of facts here if the technology is at your disposal.

I don't know who has to hear this but feeling for a pulse is not necessary during CPR interruptions if several monitoring waveforms from well-functioning devices (art line/CVP/pulse ox/Swan/ETCO2) are compatible with cardiac arrest. The same holds true if waveforms suggest ROSC*

Today we administered whole blood to an unstable GI bleed and his vitals completely normalized

….and then we transported him to the Emergency Department.

[1/3] Years of video review of emergency intubations led me to create a list of the discrete errors that I witnessed. Along with some brilliant co-authors, we recently published a paper on this taxonomy. You can see the paper here:

I envision a future of prehospital medicine where #paramedics and EMS systems are paid well enough for the services they provide that they don’t need subsidies or grants.

[Dr Paddy Barrett @Paddy_Barrett]

We've all heard this story.

A person goes for a stress test to ‘check their heart’ and is told they ‘passed with flying colours’.

The following week they have a heart attack.

How is this possible?

Here's how.
