Favorite Artery?

It’s been a long road coming - but I’m finally getting them up and out there!

Emergency Intubation. rch.org.au

Finally, the guidelines!!! In Key Question 3 you will see the fundamental concepts for individualization and ANDROMEDA-SHOCK-2 is somehow announced💪(BTW only 33 pts left)

Incorporation of prehospital TOE in cardiac arrest resuscitation is feasible. Identifying the area of maximal compression early in the resuscitation may improve OHCA outcome and aid in the ECPR decision making tree. Larger trials are needed #resuscitation #OHCA #ECPR #prehospital

🚨🚨 We are so pleased to release the @VACAR_AV Annual Report 2023-24, highlighting the incredible achievements of community, @AmbulanceVic and our health system in improving outcomes from #OHCA. We have achieved our highest ever Utstein survival outcomes 1/2

As I wrap up my #MRes thesis and start planning my #PhD proposal (even considering potential examiners), I'm curious: What advice do you wish you'd had before starting your PhD journey?

🚑 New Podcast Episode🎙️ Sedation is one of the most ethically and clinically risky interventions in pre-hospital care. In this episode of Clinical Conversations, @expensivecare and I discuss how we can make it safer. 🔗 Listen now: open.spotify.com/episode/6dYsh8…

Since the publication of the DOSEVF trial in @nejm we have published multiple secondary analyses none more important then the one published today exploring the impact of DSED and VC on time in VF. Leaves no doubt regardless of how you define RVF DSeD is a superior strategy. Have a read resuscitationjournal.com/article/S0300-….

Choosing the right statistical test can be tricky.  Some tests seem ideal but don’t fit all data types. You don't have to worry anymore.   just use this chart to guide you: 🔽

One step closer to having my #MRes completed tonight with a full thesis draft being completed and ready for my supervisors to read over 🥳

Many thanks to @ZackShinar & Chris Nickson for editorial on our @sub30study on #ECPR resuscitationjournal.com/article/S0300-… & @HaldenHB review @stemlyns - All crucial steps towards shared learning & equitable access to this challenging lifesaving resuscitation @LDNairamb

In major trauma, early emergency anaesthesia can be associated with improved patient outcome. The latest @airambulancekss research shows that time from injury to anaesthesia is faster when delivered by HEMS pre-hospital compared to on arrival at hospital link.springer.com/epdf/10.1186/s…

📢 A first in Canada! RCT of a home visit community paramedicine program (CP@home) showed: 27% reduction of EMS calls for lift-assist users. 🚑 Home visits are best for targeted populations, can address healthcare gaps, and cut EMS calls!

🚨🚨 20 years of cardiac arrest in Victoria in @theMJA: Utstein survival increased threefold bw 2003–2022 [but] the C19 pandemic was associated with a significant reduction in survival @emandrew1 @Ziad_Nehme1 @expensivecare @RosscoSalathiel @prof_cameron doi.org/10.5694/mja2.5…

⭐ The ILCOR has published its latest Consensus on Science with Treatment Recommendations (CoSTR), outlining vital updates in resuscitation science and post-cardiac arrest care. See our website for the full media release: 👉 ilcor.org/news/ilcor-con… #ILCOR #Resuscitation #Science

In the PARAMEDIC-3 trial involving adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, an intraosseous-first strategy for vascular access did not result in a higher incidence of 30-day survival than an intravenous-first strategy. Full trial results: nej.md/48uYv4A #RESUS24

@DrRJWebb Hey! I am currently doing my research into paediatric trauma patients in the OOHE, would love to chat more with you about this further 😀

I’m looking for paramedics, or Nurses/Doctors working in pre-hospital care with special interests in pre-hospital paediatrics to help work on a project with me… if you’re interested, please get in touch here or DM! Thanks! Share widely, tag colleagues!
