It was a big day for Frontenac Paramedics. @FPSChief Gale Chevalier made her ceremonial last call after more than 30 years of service to the people of Kingston and Frontenac County. Congratulations, Chief! Happy retirement and thank you for your service! #YGK #InFrontenac

@TheSGEM @EMS1 @EMSWorldOFCL @hp_ems @EMSBlogs @OverrunEMS @MLPS911 @TorontoMedics @RPPEO is trialing it in eastern ON. BC EHS began using it shortly after it was approved in Canada.

Question: Are any EMS systems in Canada using Methoxyflurane (Penthrox)? @EMS1 @EMSWorldOFCL @hp_ems @EMSBlogs @OverrunEMS @MLPS911 @TorontoMedics

@NightShiftMD @EpiDOSEtrial This may be of interest to you.

@PaigeRawsthorne @FPSParamedics Different services have different requirements but ours aren’t too bad.

@paddlestroke @FPSParamedics That sounds very reasonable!

Is it doable to emigrate to Canada as a paramedic and work part time?😬

@MedicMatt17512 Had to watch this and Mother Juggs and Speed in college. The narcan scene cracks me up every time.

My partner had to go home sick mid shift. So the student & I are first response tonight. Typically means we’re in for a slow night here at 13. Going to introduce him to a classic movie. For educational purposes of course.

Happy 40th birthday to @MarcBGoudie

@cnuhackett Take care of yourself Sean.

We’re taking it slow while Cardio-Vascular treats Archer’s surgical wound. More tests on Friday. In the meantime, in order to sign Archer out, Daddy is carrying the suction and monitoring while we get some exercise. Here is the #HackettBoys in and around @SickKidsToronto today.

@_JaceMullen Interesting device and all, but can we talk about the rug. It looks like the top of a lasagna.

Give me a one-way valve and I don’t know why it won’t work #Paramedics #HEMS

@hines_stephen For every 1 min a person in cardiac arrest does not have an AED applied and used they lose a 10% chance of survival. Unless you can open the door and drag them out, shock then extricate. Assuming it’s safe to do so from a provider standpoint.

I'm going to throw this open to a wider audience Hypothetical situation A passenger in a vehicle has a witnessed #CardiacArrest An #AED is immediately available Would you extricate first or shock first? Pls RT so we can get a big range of opinion (And add comments)

@medic_m_a_c I first read this as integrated keyboard. Got me thinking what you folks were up to over there.

@DuggSteary @CellAED @CormedDx @StevenCBrooks is involved with this product. He can probably provide some insight on its entry into the NA market. It will be an absolute game changer in a number of areas.

@CellAED @CormedDx Any news for North American market? Specifically western Canada @CellAED

Big news for the UK. From 31 July #CellAED will be available on the UK NHS Supply Chain through Authorised Reseller @CormedDx. This is a huge step in rolling out #CellAED across the UK and saving lives from sudden cardiac arrest. #cellaedsaveslives #nhs cellaed.io/au/articles/Ce…

AMBULANCE WORKERS. Forget IV vs oral paracetamol. Forget supraglottics vs ET tubes. Who takes their epaulettes off their shirt before putting it in the wash? & who leaves them on & washes them every time..? If you leave them on you’re an absolute fruit loop.
