“Physiology-Guided CPR” 🚨🚨🚨
The inclusion of “physiology-guided CPR” in the ERC resuscitation guidelines marks a significant milestone in progress.
So here are my reflections on the journey we have undertaken and thoughts on the future directions

I may well regret this, but for what they are worth here are my thoughts on the ACP debate in one thread. Please do read them all, remember I am just a consultant in EM with no RCEM responsibility and hopefully my passion for EM is evident after a quick google of my name.
Have remembered why trying to have a balanced reasonable discussion on here is so hard.
At least I didn’t suggest cyclists should all wear helmets (again)….
Do ambulance service research teams need to be adding data to the likes of TARN like databases to include patients who do not make hospital to give better data for mortality. @BASICS_HQ#basics2025
If like me you’ve come across this photo on the web, stop and think that the major UK trauma audit tool only looked at hospital patients and excluded prehospital deaths; we need to think hard about evidencing survival to hospital for stabbing/trauma victims #BASICS2025

Did you know UHCW ED have reduced unnecessary glove usage by around 10000 gloves a month?

(1/x) Intubating patients with shock in the ICU is by far the most dangerous bedside procedure we perform in ALL of medicine.
There is a 3.1% cardiac arrest rate during ICU intubations (JAMA 2021: PMID 33755076)
Here’s how you can make it as safe (as possible) 👇
@NJL_Blancq Although these charities and volunteer do an amazing job and provide excellent care, I can’t help but feel it detracts from ambulance service providing paid full time position with 24/7 critical care resourcing.
Sadly, if Prof Chamberlain was doing his pioneering work with pre-hospital cardiac care and upskilling/equipping paramedics now, there would be a section of social media (half of them anons) shouting "Ladder pulling, traitor, boomer, gong chaser, selling out medicine" bollocks
