@karelhabig Have you found any ways to adapt the respiratory filters to the common yellow flexible suction tubing sizes? I'm trying to think of off-the-shelf components that might do it.
@JonEMTP I offer my recommendation on whether assessment at hospital is required, whether we ought to transport or if they have other viable options, self transport to their GP etc etc. It's a shared decision.
@Aidan_Baron These are the patients that I paramedics are generally referring to when we talk about "drug seekers". I'm loathe to suggest the are many people calling just for drugs but I've had my share of patients who have bailed when they didn't get exactly the analgesia they requested. 2/2
@Aidan_Baron There is a missing nuance here. There are plenty of patients with frequent ED presentations for painful, recurring complaints. A lot of those patients will have ED management plans that state to avoid administering drugs of dependence. 1/2
@Aidan_Baron @wmasjoshmiller @OFFICIALWMAS@Sam_Ainslie Yep, I wear shorts for majority of my shifts. Really just the few weeks in the middle of winter I stray from the path.
Calling all paramedics outside of QLD!! We are looking for paramedics (docs too) from Australia or international. To talk to us about what’s happening in your service @EMSWolfpack @AusParamedics @NSWAmbulance@AmbulanceVic @SA_Ambulance
@CampbellNewman@ABCaustralia But did it actually affect ABC reporting? It was an unexpected result that took everyone by surprise and capped off a negative and depressing campaign. Get over it.
Best use for videolaryngoscopy / VL? Using the VL as a periscope to maintain situational awareness on the surgical team without having to leave my chair nor speak to the surgeon …. #airway#VL
