Rapid #Resuscitation with lines. Pouseille’s law is perfectly applied. In #PedsICU might debate whether an IO is faster than our usual 22-24G line. Chart by @srrezaie

@wftoon No. If it was the “current” epidemic (?) would have been around for a very long time. Paramedics (at least in Australia) have a variety of analgesic options from paracetamol to ketamine. My feeling is opiates not used as often as they used to

@agwalker01 @AmbulanceVic No words to describe how 😡 😡 😡 this makes me!

[Tony Walker ASM @agwalker01]

Today has been an incredibly difficult one for all of us at @AmbulanceVic. We stand resolute with Monica and all our paramedics who have been assaulted and abused whilst simply out there doing their job #itsneverok #zerotolerance #noexcuses

“There are two main reasons why the number of children dying from diarrhea is still so large – the prevalence of diarrhea-associated risk factors and the lack of access to essential treatment.” #UHC

@stuart_keynes Better make sure the 🚑 are full of fuel, and the teams are full of ☕️

@martynichols9 @AckerJoe 2/2 We just had a visit from a UK paramedic who is now employed as a Crit Care Practitioner in ICU in a tertiary hospital. His other CCP colleagues come from paramediic, nursing and physio backgrounds

@martynichols9 @AckerJoe 1/2 Terminolgy changes between the employer (trad. ambulance service, but may be ED, clinic etc) and the practitioner. Terminology must reflect contemporary service delivery therefore should reflect the workplace.

@FLTDOC1 We have used this approach in our retrieval service for nearly 10 years now and I cant recall the last time we intubated a MH patient for transport

@GMMajorTrauma @elderlytrauma I like it! Ping @princess_ogre

[Dave Tingey @tingles005]

@AckerJoe 2/2 It is time, however to recognise the significant role of Paramedicine in the provision of non-emergency health care, and the emergence of non-traditional services provided by Paramedics

[Trauma Victoria @TraumaVictoria]

The exchange of clinical information is critical in reducing risk & prioritising care for the trauma patient. In our latest podcast Dr Helen Stergiou talks through the Do's & Dont's of a trauma handover. @AlfredHealth @AmbulanceVic https://t.co/BvIo13IIKr
