All was good and recertified successfully but had a moment where I realised that was probably the last time I will recertify before retirement!!

On my way to James Cook University Hospital to recertify as an ARNI instructor and the imposter syndrome is real!! #ARNI, @ResusCouncilUK #littlelivesmatter

@realEDdoc Thinking of you!

Hey, folks. My son is off to the OR for unroofing of his LAD myocardial bridge. @ 2 hours on bypass and 6-8 hours total OR time. Hoping this improves his arrhythmia issues, exercise intolerance and keeps him off the transplant list for a while.

@Dr_BellaR You are a nurse?

@michimama75 I’m so pleased I can offer my girls period pants! They are a life changer!! Mine (17 and 12) choose to use tampons and or pads but the pants aswell give them a confidence to ‘roller skate in white hot pants’ or whatever they choose!

7 had questions about periods so I answered as best as I could and when I told her they happen every month, she burst into tears which is the appropriate response.

@Dr_BellaR Monday is the 1 year anniversary of my dad’s death. I gave the funeral directors a full bottle of his expensive aftershave to put on him after his final wash. I was explicit that we wanted back. Turns out they buried him with it!! Was hoping to refresh one of his hankies but no!

@bluelightcard @asda I have lost more than I have used!!

How much have you saved in your @asda Cashpot? 💙💚 Reply to this post with a picture of your Asda Rewards Round-Up. 👇

My love, my dear, sweetheart, hun, what are others thoughts on these ‘term of endearment’ used frequently in the workplace? I have been a qualified nurse for over 30 years yet still get called these regularly from colleagues and they make me cringe! Am I being too sensistive?

@realEDdoc I couldn’t find any publications on the deroofing pre op, but her surgeon did find a few articles, 2 from the USA and two from Japan but he didn’t give me the references. They didn’t find anything on her actual defect except from pathologists as it appears it is usually lethal.

@joannenaylor Yes. Appears to be causing significant rate-dependent flow reduction/ischemia that may be causing the high frequency of arrhythmias (which is unusual) and the types of arrhythmias themselves are unusual (slow, non-perfusing V-tach was the culprit for the last ICD failure)

If anyone is familiar with myocardial bridges and unroofing procedures in pediatric population please contact me. There’s not much data out there and my son will be having one soon. Any info about research/specialty services/ case reports etc. would be appreciated.

@realEDdoc My daughter was going to have a deroofing of her anamalous left cornary artery following an OOHSCA but during surgery they found it did not take an intramural path but was did originate from the non cornary cusp. It wasn’t correctable so the put in a bovine patch.

@alg_1972 @EMASNHSTrust @GoodSamApp How sad! I have only had positive responses.

1/2 @EMASNHSTrust so I’ve just attended an alert sent from @GoodSamApp. The family were very welcoming, trusting & grateful. However not so from the ambulance crew. I felt dismissed by them and heard them say ‘oh she’s the good sam person’ …

@RNSuperHero On the critical list! I have worked as a nurse in the NHS on Adult ITU, cardiac ITU, PICU and NiCU and I have never seen a critical list!!

What’s a “medical term” you hear all the time from the general public that drives you crazy as a healthcare worker. For me it’s “in a coma” 🥴

@criminographer Oh my goodness!! my daughter came home following an OOHSCA with and AED (which we sourced due to NHS delays) and honestly, it was very stressful! She is now nearly 7 years on and has had many exercise tests that give me some reassurance but I have to not think about the maybees

It's very difficult to know where to start with this post but I felt it was easier than updating everyone individually & I want to be honest with those who so kindly follow our story.About 4 weeks ago, we received the news, almost 2 years after Alexander's death, that he died 1/?

@realEDdoc My daughter had mitral regurgitation post cardiac arrest and the cardiologist told me it was because I did such good CPR. It resolved and she has no neurological hit so definitely worth my 20 mins of exhausting compressions!! Wishing you a safe and easy extubation!!!

On top of everything else, kiddo has a pulmonary contusion and sternal/cartilaginous injury from CPR. As much as I want to be angry, thank you to whomever did enthusiastic compressions for erring on the side of perfusion. He’s getting better. Off the vent tonight or tomorrow 🤞🏼

@_katiearchibald #ucitrackchampions My daughter, Amelia, is coming to see you! She had a cardiac arrest at 10 on a cross country run! She is now 17 and is a qualified cycling coach + does track cycling! She will be willing you on!!! #oohscasurvivor, #ucitrackchampionsleague

It Amelia’s 6th rebirth day today! Do you know what to do if someone has a cardiac arrest? Please consider learning if you don’t! resus.org.uk/about-us/news-…
