On this day in 1952, Dr. Paul Zoll reported in NEJM the first description of two patients whose hearts were resuscitated using electric charges. Today, automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) are used everywhere to save lives. Learn more: nej.md/GUw39W

@IM_Crit_ Have a look at this publication: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Femoral lines (clinical practice) paradox: ICU/ED world: Oh no, we shouldn't do it, femorals are SO dirty. If we place them, we remove them 3 ds later because we feel guilty & administrators yell ECMO world: let's put 2 huge cannulas in the groin & leave them there for 3 weeks

@AirAssistApp @GWAAC

I’m also going to disable G-GWAC for now! But would be really nice if someone who knows why this is happening could reach out to me. Can you help tag anyone that might know this? Why is the unique transponder code of G-GWAC (405F81) still sending signals from aboard G-WASC?

@KangarooBeach @RedOzRetrieval This can only be enhanced further with the matching colour coded syringe!

You’ve all experienced the HORIZONTAL vs VERTICAL syringe labels war on Twitter Today I give you the ‘winged’ version - aka “The Fentanyl Flange” This message brought to you via @redozretrieval You’re welcome #MedTwitter #anaesthesia #aeromed #PHaRM

@Ask_foradoctor @DrRJWebb It’s taking the debate to Twitter is not collegial and this is a small percentage of nurses, not the majority. Talking to the conference organiser is the solution as many conferences do tiered fees.

I’d absolutely love to attend this. But the pricing structure makes it completely unaffordable for me. £1,008 because I’m a doctor. Would be £480 if I was (still) a nurse. Huge shame.

@DrRJWebb @Ask_foradoctor It’s an extreme disingenuous example to create sensationalism and is not collegial. You also need to take into consideration similar nurses don’t get study leave for conferences.

@Coxy997 @Ask_foradoctor I used an extreme example. You’ll see the hat it’s not however unreasonable at all levels. I can’t tell you about everyone else’s study budget. I’ll tell you about mine: this wouldn’t be covered.

@DrRJWebb @Ask_foradoctor You didn’t say 8a, your example was an 8c. You also haven’t shared the study budgets applicable to doctors which is not reflected in nurses.

@Coxy997 @Ask_foradoctor ACPs are band 8a in most trusts (have a look at NHS Jobs). That’s £50952-£57349. Band 5-6 is £28407-£42618. These are doctor pay scales. Not really disingenuous or ‘not considered’.

@DrRJWebb @Ask_foradoctor This is really not a considered comparison, when you will find 1 or maybe 2 8c ACPs in any NHS hospital. It’s your band 5 nurses that are the main attendees who with 3 - 7 years experience are on £30 - 34k without a study budget.

@Ask_foradoctor Quite. Band 8C Senior/Consultant ACP with 5+ years experience: £81138. But they’ll pay £110 per day less than a doctor, with salary range £32398-£63152. Make it make sense.
