In the presence of greatness. Chief John Moon presenting the opening keynote at #NAEMSP2024 Fulfilling the mission of remembering the origins of #EMS as we know it with Freedom House Ambulance.

John Moon: This vehicle is a representation of perseverance and determination of Freedom House. It may have rust, bald tires, and no hubcaps but it’s mission is unquestionable. #NAEMSP2024

Drs. @CatherineCounts, @SayreMR, and @NickJohnsonMD are co-authors of a study in Prehospital Emergency Care titled, "Comparison of intubating conditions with succinylcholine versus rocuronium in the prehospital setting." More ⤵️ tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.108…

Excited and honored to announce that I have accepted a position @UWashEM @uwemcc working in the ED/ICU and with @AirliftNW Super stoked to be working for such an amazing institution and with exceptional colleagues.

For all you intubators out there, I'm going to describe two useful bougie microskills 1/9

Drs. @NickJohnsonMD, @SayreMR, @CatherineCounts, and @alatimer13 are co-authors of a study published in @ResusJournal titled, "Association of small adult ventilation bags with return of spontaneous circulation in out of hospital cardiac arrest." ⤵️ resuscitationjournal.com/article/S0300-…

@CatherineCounts So, to summarize… we have conflicting animal evidence and inadequate human evidence that makes unsupported claims based on data-dredging. Doesn’t sound like something ready for prime time and definitely not a “standard of care”.

"Heads-up CPR doesn't improve cerebral perfusion pressure and it significantly decreases carotid blood flow...human implementation of Heads-up CPR should be conducted only under strict IRB supervision." Stop experimenting on OHCA patients and framing it as "quality improvement".

The iGel is a great supraglottic airway device But like other supraglottic airway devices (SAD) it's not foolproof Here's how to maximise your success with the iGel - a thread 🧵

Congratulations to Dr. Betty Yang (@bettyy0) @UTSW_EM on being named @UTSWNews Dean's Scholar in Clinical Research for her work in pre-hospital resuscitation - particularly cardiac arrest, ventilation, and whole blood transfusion. #EMS #emergencymedicine

Three of my full time staff are leaving to go to medical school this summer (🎉), but that means #UWashEMS is looking for the right person (or two) that wants to engage in EMS research and QI. You can apply here, it closes in 7 days: uwhires.admin.washington.edu/eng/candidates…

Time to calculate the 2022 OHCA survival rates for @SeattleFire, starting with everything it took to get to today. #UWashEMS 1/🧵

The #HEMS OG here in the US. An Alouette III from Flight for Life in Colorado at the @wingsmuseum in #Denver dating to 1972 @AMPAdocs @ASTNA2 @ICAPParamedics (this airframe is a former @IrishAirCorps aircraft) @CCTMC1

🚨 We are responding to a large number of calls across the City for slips and falls on ice on sidewalks, roadways, parking lots, etc. Falling on ice can cause significant injuries. Don’t drive or walk on the ice - stay indoors until conditions improve if you can.

Congratulations to #UWashEMS Research Coordinator @KillianPache on being selected for the AMR/NAEMSP Professional EMS Scholarship to attend #NAEMSP2023! Only professional members within @NAEMSP are eligible, and Killian's selection is a reflection of his commitment to EMS.
