@dasairway guidelines out
USE A VIDEOLARYNGOSCOPE

DEFAULT Videolaryngoscopy is now the recommended norm

Some folk will need to make changes.

We recently published a narrative review which discusses the challenges and myths around VL and gives guidance on default VL implementation from those who have done it

“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

[Iain Beardsell @docib]

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.

[Iain Beardsell @docib]

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)….

[Chris Martin @NotfromCplay]

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

[Nigel Ruddell @NigelRuddell]

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

(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) 👇

[Marcus McDonagh 🇮🇪 @marcus_mcdonagh]

@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.

[David Oliver @mancunianmedic]

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
