6. And keep your patient warm. Target early and frequent temperature measurements. Temp <35 is associated with more blood product requirements and mortality.

4. Give TXA and give it early. 2g bolus. Delays by as little as 15min may impact negatively. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

8/10: Post cardiac arrest pts. are simultaneously a 1) cardiac patient (their heart stopped) 2) neuro patient (we care about their brain) 3) and trauma patient (someone just crushed their chest for like 30 min). If you are CT scanning post arrest, low threshold to PAN scan (head, chest, abdo) Also, if you are going to order a CT chest, consider a PE protocol so you never have to discuss on rounds whether the patient could have an occult PE as the etiology arrest!!! 🫀🧠🦴

@RAllan1984 It’s the Arklow Arrow

@RobConnolly10 Oh wow Rob that is amazing, lighthouses are incredible feats built in the sea and the people that worked there,their lives, incredible people of strength out there isolated on the rock 💪👏🏻endless stories no doubt.

@HeliSarah How beautiful. My granda Thomas Lawlor was a keeper on it and spent 101 days awaiting the relief boat back in 1939 due to the bad weather. He could have done with your flying skills then:-). So much history to that rock including the IRA raid in 1920 and the race. Cheers
