40 years. No good evidence on pre-hospital intubation in major trauma. Until now.
New @LancetRespMed causal modelling study — 6,000+ patients. 10% absolute mortality reduction with PHEA in the right patient. The methodology alone changes how we answer unanswerable questions.
I used to enjoy teaching on Twitter (when it was a reasonable place to engage) before I lost my previous account.
I'm wondering if people would still be interested in learning some hematology here!
🙋🏽 if you are interested 🙌🏽
