Brief the team. prehospital amputation will be distressing to witness/ be part of. Especially for the firefighter 👩‍🚒 operating the cutting tool. Appropriate debrief and open culture for all involved. #covPHEM

“Four years ago my best friend Hannah suffered a stroke. She recovered and became one of the best paramedics I know. I wanted to raise money to support stroke research.”

Excellent visit to Harold Hill today, great to meet such positivity amongst @LondonFire crews. Thank you.

Using the evidence based suggestion of 5ml/kg tidal volume, the average 70kg adult would require a ventilation squeeze of 350ml.

The average adult BVM in the prehospital phase of care has a volume of between 1200 and 1600ml #DAC18 #Airways

Being on the job means a FF is in the dept, got the t-shirt & just gets by.Into the job is when we truly live it by training hard & never being satisfied with the status quo. FFs who are INTO it always strive to go to the next level & are always raising the bar.@cltobinstlfd

The key to Laryngoscopy is finding the Epiglottis. When the airway is bloody it will often “camouflage”, making it tougher to find. This makes it even more important to always be methodical:

1. Advance incrementally
2. Identify the Epiglottis
3. Expose the Larynx
