Rib Injury Outcomes Study (RIOS)

@domstrachan and I are looking to recruit UK consultants in anaesthetics/ICM working to participate in a Delphi study to identify clinical decision factors for analgesic block use in chest wall injury. Follow link for more info and to sign up & share! qmul.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/e-delphi-recru……

📝Really happy to see this paper born out of @TraumaMasters finally published. Expert #trauma care and a collaborative approach to rib fixation leading to good functional outcomes @RoyalLondonHosp @PJZolfaghari @TraumaEMC authors.elsevier.com/c/1e-xd_TJXmC1…

Emergency assessment and management of vascular injuries across @London_Trauma. Our new animation is up now. Please take 4:00 minutes to have a look at it and pass it on! vimeo.com/673399984 c4ts.qmul.ac.uk/london-trauma-…

Excited to announce this FREE multi-disciplinary in-person springboard event on 15th March 2022 to launch the next national collaborations in trauma research, and pitch new ideas! @CommsC4TS #trauma #research #collaboration Register here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/natric-meeti…

Q: How do you know when a PhD is finished? A: A PhD is never finished. There is always more you could do. At some point you just have to hand it in. #PhDchat #PhDforum

So in quick succession, my final PhD publication in @BMJ_Open. A quant study of long term outcomes post chest trauma. Fab collaborators across the board but special thanks to @ceribattle @EddCarlton @malcolm1771 & @Gerrythecynic @TeamKingsED @KingsNursing bmjopen.bmj.com/content/11/7/e…

LG. The website for the #RELIEF trial is now up and running 🎉 RELIEF = Randomised Evaluation of early topical Lidocaine patches in Elderly patients admitted to hospital with rib Fractures. CI for the project is EC team member @EddCarlton 🏥Website here 👉 relief.blogs.bristol.ac.uk

So the time has come! I have a complete draft of my PhD. 78,000 words, 490 pages and 5 years in the making. Time for final feedback and proofing ready for submission in May. Thank you to everyone who has supported me and helped make this happen. Nearly there now!

Small chest drains vs BIG SURGICAL drains for 🩸traumatic haemothorax🩸 Increasing evidence that they do a similar job and smaller ones are more tolerable. Is it time we ditch the hosepipes... especially in frail older people? journals.lww.com/jtrauma/_layou… journals.lww.com/jtrauma/fullte…

@ceribattle @edbaker_ed @Srikesavan @karimbrohi Well there is no easy answer but I think specific PROMs will provide far more comprehensive subjective measures than the generic ones currently available. I am really excited to see what Simon Craxford’s measure looks like. Watch this space!

@edbaker_ed @Srikesavan @karimbrohi @RibRIOS What do you suggest we use?

Just watched this great interactive orientation to an #ICU bed space. Really puts the work of critical care professionals in perspective. Must create the same for ED Resuscitation Room. Great work @LibbyLilias and team! ltlc360.viewin360.co/share/7x9jB Great Resource for @KingsNursing

Co-PaCT study: Calling all Emergency Care clinicians working with patients with blunt chest trauma Admittedly this is bad timing, but please spare 5 mins to complete my very short survey re Mx of pts d/c'd directly home from ED/UCC. Please retweet surveymonkey.co.uk/r/F8KTKNL

Just presented on Chest Trauma outcomes at my first completely Virtual conference! Great to present with @ceribattle @clare_liew @sonophysio highlighting the exciting future of chest injury management. #Research #Trauma #PhysiotherapyConference
