Just tap the bone and fracture pattern and get instant recommendations on immobilization options, instructions for splint application and important management pearls.
A "rate-and-wait" strategy with next-day follow-up instead of ED cardioversion is safe, and reduces ED/hospital LOS and admission rate for patients presenting to ED with uncomplicated atrial fibrillation @EMAJournal@Surgery_UOC@OtagoCHCH https://t.co/MdKZklLdsA
Worth a look if you’re wanting to move to a cool country and work in a whirly bird 😁
I hear their new clinical directorate team ain’t half bad either 🤔
Excellent share @ParamedProf@UMartBa004
I wonder if you ever had polar bears in your helicopter? @jmelau 🐻❄️
Fascinating to learn that an anaesthetic doesn't only affect human thermo regulation
@AirwayMxAcademy Paramedics used to be proud of intubating in the car, narrow hallway, on the garage floor, etc.
We are now proud of mastering the skill of creating the optimal environment/position despite some challenges.

This is absolutely one of the reasons for the ‘CPR if resources allow’ in our new ten second triage tool. Preventable causes of death such as compression / crush / traumatic asphyxia eg at hillsborough which could be amenable to CPR if performed rapidly (and safe to do so)
Empathy following a disaster - a short 🧵
1/ I’m sure, like me, many of you have seen the news from Seoul and struggled to comprehend how hard it must be for families, survivors and first responders such as paramedics, police and trained bystanders.
Lots of discussions regarding CPR in multiple casualties scenarios
Crush = Hypoxia
CPR and ventilation are the life saving intervention to these preventable deaths - those on the ground were doing the right thing
Rapid distribution of ‘dead’ tags helps no one in this situation
Horrendous events in Seoul overnight. Across @London_Trauma we have many friends and colleagues in Seoul and the Korean Trauma system. Hard to comprehend what it was like/is like. How do you do triage when everyone is in cardiac arrest??
