Come work with us @EAAARAID Two fantastic jobs supporting our R&D and clinical innovations. Deliver some exciting primary pre hospital research with our team! #BreakingBarriers eaaa.org.uk/careers

@aerojenni Try not to look at the differences in training, but in the job at whichever level you want to get to (I.e. assoc specialist, consultant or whatever). Both are great careers, but for my money EM offers a great mix of clinical challenge and opportunity that can't be beaten

Feel so fortunate to be in this position given the state of specialty training in the UK right now. Any last minute advice for choosing between ACCS Anaesthetics and Emergency Medicine for someone who likes both for different reasons? (I have one choice in mind…)

@EMDocJB @ross_prager Imagine a closed loop system that could take AoBP/Rhythm/NIRS/Biomarker inputs and deliver tailored infusions of appropriate drugs. Maybe lytics/regadenoson/vasoactive drug delivered centrally above a REBOA balloon? TOE feels like a good next step for OHCA POCUS though...

@ross_prager Don’t forget to use femoral invasive BP monitoring in the meantime, until TEE/TOE becomes mainstream In the long term we will combine both (+ AI) to truly deliver precision resuscitation rather than a algorithmic/consensus based approach

CPR saves lives. We all know the tenants to high quality CPR yet its 2025 and 50% of the CPR is done in the wrong location ☠️ Quality CPR per AHA: 1) Push at 100-120bpm 2) Do CPR on the sternum 3) Push deep 4) Allow for complete recoil. It turns out, that in real life hearts sit in variable positions in the chest (some more central, some lower, some more axillary). This means that 50% of the time CPR is done too high (based on TEE literature) which compresses the LVOT or Aorta and NOT the ventricles. CPR done of the LVOT / Aorta have lower rates of ROSC, lower ETCO2, lower diastolic blood pressure! The @ResusTEEproject registry led by @FTeranMD is studying whether wrong CPR location results in worse neurologically in tact survival... The gap to solving this? There isn't an easy solution without using #resusTEE to position CPR over the right location. Retweet this so a young medical innovator finds this and wants to create a device that uses AI/ML to create a safe and simple probe (or device) that can be used to improve CPR position. Improving CPR quality by 50% could save tens of thousands of lives per year!!

🧵Weekend surgical history 🧵 Femur fractures - a good orthopedic case, right? How would you like to manage 1,023 femur fractures in your hospital over a few months? We will look at the Thomas splint and the 'femur wards', innovations that saved thousands of lives during WW1.

@NatashaMDay Do have to balance the one patient in front of you and the patients waiting in a queue for resource though. We should ensure clinicians have prompt access to appropriate care pathways without waiting for callbacks as well as remote decision support if they aren't sure what to do.

Do you work with patients with spinal cord injury in the East of England? We want to hear what education you’d like to see provided by the 3 spinal hubs to improve your knowledge, skills and confidence with SCI. Please complete our very short survey eoetraumanetwork.nhs.uk/so/daPLhjyHB?l…

Applications close on 26th, so please get a wiggle on. @CUH_MTS @CUH_NHS @CambridgeEmerg1 @trauma_east @Trauma_Futures

If you're interested in major trauma and ready for a band 6 role, please think about joining me and the NCS team for 18 hrs a week! careers.cuh.nhs.uk/current-vacanc… Happy to take questions or explain anything. Flexible hours, hybrid working focused @AddiesEd

@Cooper00Nicola Any tips or suggestions on how to avoid priming bias for the other party? It's too easy to latch onto the first thing said/BLUF, wheras listening to a pure history/exam/tests forces a proper cognitive assessment of the diagnosis and helps form a safe plan.
