@albertoortegana @CTakeway Do you know of any literature describing this? I'd love to be able to source this for future reference.

@CTakeway Ondas J tempranas” o “notching del QRS” Pueden ser un hallazgo normal, especialmente en jóvenes o con repolarización precoz.

How do you call those tiny positive deflections just before the Q wave? Do they have a name? Any meaning/significance? :-O Found note about fragmented Q in literature, but doesn't seem to be it. Thanks!

@cupcakekitty09 @JamesTate121 This isn't real.

@JamesTate121 I still don’t understand what material is used to print all those different components.

South Korea printed a living human eye — that connects directly to the brain 📷 South Korean bioengineers at KAIST have successfully 3D-printed a fully functional human eye complete with retina, lens, cornea, and optic nerve — then implanted it into a 31-year-old blind patient who can now see. This is the first time a complex organ with multiple tissue types has been printed and integrated with the nervous system. The printing process took 6 hours: Living retinal cells printed in precise layers with blood vessels Biocompatible polymers form the sclera (white part) and cornea Lens made from hydrogel that auto-focuses Optic nerve scaffold guides new nerve growth to the brain The patient was blinded 7 years ago in an industrial accident. Within 3 weeks of implantation, his brain learned to interpret signals from the artificial eye. He now has 20/60 vision and improving daily as neural connections strengthen. What makes this revolutionary: First artificial organ that processes information (retina has 1 million light sensors) Successfully integrated with nervous system Eye moves naturally via printed muscle tissue Produces tears and maintains moisture Patient can distinguish colors, read text, recognize faces The technology works for most types of blindness including macular degeneration, glaucoma, and retinal detachment. Cost: $45,000, covered by Korean national health insurance. Source: KAIST Biomedical Engineering, Cell 2025

@je_ff_ff @plantdaddy530 @EricPhDing I'm a Paramedic. 20 years in 911. 10 years in critical care transport, including ECMO cannulation and transport teams and Neonatal and Pediatric Critical Care. There is zero...ZERO...comparison between management of a trauma patient on scene and ICU care.

@plantdaddy530 @EricPhDing You’ll be surprised at what paramedics deal with at the scene of a motorcycle accident or a car hitting a pedestrian.

(i can count on ZERO hands the times that I’ve seen an EMT “working in the ICU”…. Let alone a disheveled obese one rambling to patients about the dangers of ventilators and vaccines….🙄 Truly bizarre that ANYone takes this guy the least bit seriously.)

@CARESRegistry it has long been suspected that earlier, but limited Epinephrine may be associated with better outcomes. But better outcomes with Epi if you are transporting intra-arrest is a consolation prize. Not an achievement.

Earlier epinephrine after EMS arrival is linked to better OHCA survival, no matter how long crews stay on scene. Timing makes the difference. mdpi.com/2077-0383/14/1…

@EMSWorldOFCL It improves outcomes in that CPR improves outcomes. It does not improve outcomes when compared to conventional CPR.

Venice, Florida purchased a LUCAS in late 2020 and saw a successful use in June 2021. The resuscitation aid provides consistent, high-quality chest compressions to improve patient outcomes. hubs.ly/Q03JMSV-0

@romduck I think it's kind of a silly post. Who is the "boss" in this scenario? The supervisor? Supervisor should know your name. The operations manager? Might not match the name to the face. Higher than this and it's just unrealistic to expect it.

I agree with the intent of this post, with a couple of caveats. In larger organizations, someone who works in another location or several levels above you may not know everyone’s name. Also, leadership is crucial, but management stuff still needs to get done

@Linktree_ I don't know why it's becoming increasingly more complicated to post post a link, but it is driving me absolutely insane. Is there a department there dedicated to adding steps to posting Links? Can I get a widget or something where you just PASTE/LINK/BYE?

@BrooksWalsh Does the withdrawal of support automatically prevent this diagnosis? Like is this related to an ICD10 code or can a physician still independently diagnose this?

All emergency medicine organizations in the US have withdrawn support for the concept of "excited delirium." So I am dubious that the ER docs in this case diagnosed him as such.

@DrPascalMeier @realDonaldTrump Did you even Google this before you posted it? Not a Trump fan, but this is a fake quote.

@ross_prager When you say "In many case", what are we talking about? Is it "There is the potential for it to be..." or is it "More likely than not..."? Is there any literature that supports this?

(2/x) The reason why clinicians feel for the pulse makes sense - we want our CPR to be generating enough stroke volume to create a palpable pulse. The problem with this, however, is that in many cases the pulse felt is VENOUS from retrograde flow. Need proof? Place a linear probe on the groin next arrest. The vein is pulsating and where you feel the pulse is more medial than the artery!

(1/x) We need to stop 'feeling for a pulse' while CPR is ongoing in cardiac arrest. Here's why 🧵

@stevecripe57 A fake quote is not a source. I'm completely willing to believe the sentiment you're attempting to convey could be legit. But the quote was designed to do one thing, and you were the catch of the day.

@EMSAvenger And no one is "moving the goal posts". You already presented your source that said something different. That's fine. We have different sources and obviously a difference of facts. Have a good evening.

He knew and so did Bobby...

@EMSAvenger You've got a source that says one thing, I have a source that says something different. I've heard a number of government officials say the same thing that the Kennedys knew what was going on with Israel, JFK warned us and Bobby continued the message until he was taken out.

@DitchDocEM Did you create this graphic? I want to share it on other platforms and put a watermark on it for the creator.

I feel like there is multiple “ insecure canyons” in the D-K effect.

@AFMIII007 @AP @CommunityNotes We all know that. The headline is reporting a literal action he took. Headlines tend to not be entire articles that opine on the legalities of actions.

@EMSAvenger @AP @CommunityNotes Trump cannot eliminate the Department of education on his own. He needs Congress for that. He can only sign an executive order that can be erased by the next president

@AFMIII007 @AP @CommunityNotes It isn't misleading at all. He did EXACTLY what they said he did. It doesn't mean he has the authority to do so.

@AP @CommunityNotes please explain how the legislative branch works. AP headline is misleading. Again

@Roger72762 @CalltoActivism @1drcole You would find it funny if you didn't wrap up your entire personality into a politician. This is hysterical.

@CalltoActivism @1drcole Not funny

Who made this. 🤣

@HandtevyMD Being in pediatric critical care, we don't have any different criteria for use of CPAP or BiPAP with kids than we do adults. If they need NIV they get NIV.

We’ve all seen the impact of CPAP in adult patients with respiratory distress—but for #kids, and in #EMS, it’s often overlooked. Why? ➥ Is it fear of the unknown? ➥ Is it because of equipment limitations? ➥ Is it perceived complexity? What's the reality? Pediatric #CPAP is a game-changer. It can prevent intubation, reduce ICU admissions, and improve outcomes for children in severe respiratory distress. Join @TannerSmida and I today at 11AM on the @FL_NAEMSP webinar with @KyleGoodni80341 to learn how it's saving lives in Ohio. @NAEMSP @NCNAEMSP @NAEMSPJournal @NAEMSP_GA @ohioNAEMSP @NYNAEMSP @MA_NAEMSP @WINAEMSP @naemspalabama
