My new motto #SMACC

[Dr Eric Levi @DrEricLevi]

#smacc is a community.

SMACC is not because we’re cool. It’s because we care.

We care about good commmunication, good teaching methods, good teamwork, good airway technique, good evidence, good emotions, good words, good advocacy, good fun, etc. @smaccteam

. @psirides looking at the trauma pt, what pieces of info are most useful for the trauma team that paramedics can provide? Anything that's frequently missed? #SMACC2019 "

1 in 5 spinal shock pt will present with tachyarrhytmia.

Don't rely on bradycardia + hypotension.

Think about your DDx.

[Harrison @Harrisonfw_]

What can Paramedics take out of @LeechCaroline presentation? Trauma handovers - observe the scene, describe what you’ve seen. It might provide some vital clues, allowing the ED team to make more appropriate management decisions. #SMACC

[#hello my name is Ross @ffolliet]

Trauma diagnosis is not solely the role of the CTscanner. Think clearly that hypotensive patients have many reasons for that, not always bleeding. Great talk from @LeechCaroline #smacc

[CODA @codachange2]

Coda begins where SMACC ends. It is a collaboration with a singular bold focus: to solve urgent health challenges around the world. It has the patient at its very centre, and it has your voice, joined with many, as the engine.

[Lachie Graham @LachieGraham]

When making a decision, consider TWEED.

Point by @LizCrowe2 that grief and emotion aren’t a journey, but an experience because they don’t all end happily. It’s true. #SMACC
