Distal Femur IO in Adults: A new study from SAFD compares placement of the IO at 3 different sites (proximal humerus, distal femur, and proximal tibia), and over 2016 cases. You won't want to miss the findings from this study. Kuddos to @SAFDmeddirector. https://t.co/NxtkSFLXMI

It's time to abandon the proximal tibial IO in pediatric cardiac arrest.

The distal femur has many advantages over the proximal tibia, including faster flow rates, and easier and more secure placement. @HandtevyMD

Time for an infographic👇

Tachycardia doesn't have to be complicated and shouldn't make YOUR heart race...

Here's a helpful #Infographic to help break it down!

Two awesome infographics by @MRamzyDO on #ketamine & #TXA two very useful & important meds in the ICU.

Mark is an awesome up-and-coming #FOAMed educator, friend, & a kindred spirit in the #OnePager/#Infographics space. Definitely worth following him (and getting him above 3k!)

Very important talk about errors in #EMS and the role that #EMSDocs can play in mitigation and correction without being punitive. #JustCulture is about shared responsibility and accountability between employer & employee. Think "what" is to blame & why, not "who". #NAEMSP2021

This is an extrication board. It is good for extrication. That is it's only use. Any questions? Thank you for coming to my #TEDTalk #EMS

Great day learning the @Handtevy method!! Ready to improve pre-hospital pediatric care in our system!!

Thanks to the magic of @zoom_us and a combination of high resolution cameras and tablets we are running our first Handtevy Pre-hospital Instructor Course virtually at @OSFHealthCare today. All participants used the @ProdigyEMS platform prior to coming to the hands on portion. 😀
