@terriermix @cevers21 …or in bad weather. The wheels on the bud should not unnecessarily go round and round regardless of the weather.

(1) "standard" left hypopharyngeal suction tip park for SALAD of ongoing airway soilage ...

(2) laryngoscope park of suction when not needed in airway ...

(3) other position being tucked under right shoulder or bed mattress ...

(4) the floor

Don’t miss this opportunity.

@jducanto sucks, y’all (airway contaminants, that is).

This should be a great lecture. Get your free CAPCE CE here.

Lord High Commander of the Notch's Watch:

Lads ...
This is not a Game of Airways.
Vomit is coming!

Beware the Wildlings that lie in wait beyond The Teeth.

Trust only in the Notch and the Epiglottis lest you be led astray.

Look Clear Advance!
Stay Back, Stay High, Stay Dry!

@TBayEDguy That mask is the best ever!

[Mid-State Technical College EMS Education @mid_ems]

Our EMS Program Medical Director, @jducanto provided a great day of airway and SALAD training for our paramedic students today. It is a real pleasure to experience this man’s passion for teaching. Thanks for a great day, Doc!

@allycat6170 The ability to be kind is far more powerful and has an effect lasting longer than any medication you will ever give. I’ve personally received far and away more thank you letters for this than I have for all other medical procedures combined.

94% of people die after being shocked by a defibrillator. We shouldn’t blame the defibrillator for their death. #KetamineIsNotTheProblem

Take the time, it’s more than worth it.

The day has finally come! We finished our latest booklet, "The Art & Science of Resuscitation." This piece is a companion to our "10 Steps" book, and we hope you like it. Sign into the RA Network to download it, and let us know what you think. https://t.co/c7kTU3MspF

Spent just a little time playing with our new @AnatomageTable today. This is a great time to be alive with technology what it is. @jducanto

[Yen Chow @TBayEDguy]

Make it your habit to have suction in right hand at the start of all emergency intubations DL only or VL only or DL/VL combo IMHO (updating https://t.co/oM7rMfFR78)

[Mid-State Technical College EMS Education @mid_ems]

We just went live with our @Handtevy mobile app and are readying ourselves for use in primary #emseducation. Improving preparation related to pediatric care is our #CQI focus for this upcoming year.

STOP placing tibial IO's in patient with suspected abdominal or pelvic injuries as fluid/products will traveal through the abdominal & pelvic vasculatre. They are of no help!

Utilizing the humeral head will deliver fluid/products via the proximal SVC.

More emphasis on this topic needs to take place, especially in the setting of layperson CPR training.

[ResuscitationAcademy @ResuscAcademy]

Agonal breathing is present in approximately 60% of patients with VF cardiac arrest. Yet the presence of agonal breathing will often confuse the caller and/or dispatcher into thinking the patient is not in cardiac arrest. Remember to ask if the patient is breathing NORMALLY.

Wrestling a Sea-Long NIV helmet onto a @CAEHealthcare manikin is a chore for one person. Looking forward to adding this to critical care transport simulations in our programs this fall.
