I present to you, the Blood Hell SALAD.

We're working on the recipe to share, but we used #TrueClot from @LunaInc_Labs.

A huge shout out to @jducanto for filming and allowing us to really muck up the airway.

@KevinMyattWx What should we expect for ice accretion currently?

@KevinMyattWx When should we expect enough snow to shovel in ROA?

Congratulations to all! What a great combination to improve simulation fidelity.

Say it louder in the back!

[Jace Mullen @_JaceMullen]

@BMorshediMD @hashimzMD Sure.

But get rid of AEMT, make EMT the AEMT scope and make it a year of school.

Our current EMT training model can’t sustain endless additions to the EMT scope safely.

BREAKING: The @CARESRegistry, the only national data collection tool that connects pre-hospital cardiac arrest data with hospital outcomes, will receive $23.85 million in grant funding over the next five years from the CDC. 🙌https://t.co/rRqesIypab

@jab_doc Forget the recipe. Everything gets a whole clove! I legit put a whole clove in the last spaghetti sauce I made.

[Adam LaChappelle @vamedic]

@le_chadd This should put you to sleep then lol

Hey @NHTSAgov, Mr. Hammond is preoccupied at this time.

[Adam LaChappelle @vamedic]

@_JaceMullen throwing some truth bombs that I haven't been able to articulate. A great way to give a great hand off.

[Jace Mullen @_JaceMullen]

@le_chadd One thing we don’t talk about is that it’s really like three reports.

The first report to the whole room. Age, story, what you did. Short and just what they need to get to work.

Then to the attending doc or trauma surgeon, I’ll add in some color, answer questions…

[Adam LaChappelle @vamedic]

Side rails ⬆️ or ⬇️?

[Adam LaChappelle @vamedic]

Unpopular opinion, I prefer the side rails ⬇️ on the stretcher (left). Putting them down is a task done on every call. It's more efficient and one less task to perform.

Enhancing patient care and provider performance through intentional design.

Providers are able to gain access to oxygen through the outside of the backpack without need to rearrange for patient transfer.

I can already smell this and I'm gagging haha

[Chris Root @ChrisRootMD]

I’ve done a lot of simulation around #SALAD and contaminated airway management, but I’ve never seen anything like what @UNMEMSA paramedics students get to do.

Taking training to the extreme so that real-life seems easy in comparison.

[Paul Swinton @paswinton]

🌟 Huge thanks to @Glasgow_Times for spotlighting the adoption of Paediatric SCRAM™ by @RCHGlasgow. This achievement follows an in-depth study on refining paediatric emergency airway management.
