Behind every interaction is a person, a family, a story, and a moment that matters. Paramedics provide not only expert care—they deliver compassion, reassurance, and dignity.

In November 2023, Ornge was called to transport an obstetrical patient who, at 22.5 weeks gestation, was facing some complications. Little did anyone know that this call would lead to a miraculous birth story, and an even more inspiring story of survival.

We are thrilled to launch the first ever UK pilot of Video Assisted CPR for #cardiacarrest patients. The @EastEnglandAmb Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrest Desk hopes to improve outcomes for patients and experiences for bystanders by supporting #CPR and #defibs with live video 📱♥️

CPR is life saving. But clinicians should understand just how abnormal this way of providing a circulation is, and how chest compressions can really smash the lungs!

We still don’t know the best way to ventilate during CPR, but there’s no doubt that in many patients we are not ventilating adequately.

Many see pre-procedural checklists solely as a tool for checking equipment

In EMRS we monitored the heart rate of clinicians during our pre-anaesthetic checklist. 100% of clinicians experienced a fall in heart rate

Here's why....

Just published: Ontario’s first evaluation of paramedic Treat & Discharge

✅Very low 911/ED use within 7 days
✅No admissions or deaths
✅Fewer ED visits

Paramedics are shaping new care models

Hi Friends,

This is an important Cardiac Arrest podcast episode I recorded with my friend Scott Weingart

Can I get a few Reposts and Likes to help spread the word?

[Cliff Reid @cliffreid]

Ever heard someone say ‘too sick to be intubated’

No one is

Here’s a ‘physiologically challenging airway’

Intubation for hypoxaemia & septic shock

2 emergency medicine specialists -1 on hemodynamics & oversight, 1 on oxygenation & supervising registrar intubation

Art line in, Peripheral norepi, epi 1:100000 ready to push

POCUS excluded RV failure

Ramped, preox via NIV-ST mode, allowing supported ventilation during induction

Intubated 1st pass over bougie using VL

No desat, no hypotension

Resus nurses all over it

Calm, smooth, safe. Just like we train

A shared mental model in a cohesive trained team leads to effective resuscitation

Resuscitate Before You Intubate!

[𝘈𝘯𝘢𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘢 𝘙𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘴 @Anaes_Reports]

Airway trauma, one passage opens on inspiration, the other on expiration. Tissues are very oedematous. The CT scan didn’t show this injury.

What would you do?

Factors Influencing Analgesic Use During Transport of Intubated Pediatric Patients: Prehospital Emergency Care
🔑Takeaways:
☑️ Transport duration, prior opioids/ketamine admin, & paralytic use impact analgesia
☑️Evaluating is crucial.

Excited for the opportunity to share our experiences with a paramedic clinician in our provincial dispatch centre providing clinical, operational and logistical support.

[Callum Sutton @capsutton]

Looking forward to this. Exciting discussions around pre-hospital critical care across the world. Lots to learn from each other to help improve patient care.

In pediatric resuscitation, what do paramedics do well? A smattering of feedback from some other medical professionals.

Be comfortable that paramedics are good at this stuff. You have the skills you need.

🚨Exciting news!🚨Pediatric Hyperglycemic Emergencies is online @PedCareonline! It identifies risk factors for neurologic issues during transport. Huge thanks to my co-authors and the Paramedic Research Consortium of Eastern Ontario for their support

If something happens to your pilot balloon, a 20g catheter and a syringe can be used to refill the cuff and maintain your airway

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Disrespect doesn’t just make people feel bad. It leads them to perform worse.

Evidence from medical teams: Even a single insult decreases the quality of diagnoses and procedures. Rudeness disrupts focus and undermines collaboration.

Civility is not optional. It’s vital.

[Cambridge Fire Dept @CambridgeFD]

Shoutout to firefighter Brayden for not only keeping our community safe but also inspiring the next generation! Thank you Cambridge firefighters for making a huge impact on young lives.
