VL is only the victor for the EDs and EMS services that enjoy access to it. Let's figure out how to get the better tool into the hands of those who need it! #EMS #HEMS @AMPAdocs @JLynchDO @ktanaka_0123

The results from our DEVICE trial are out in the @NEJM . In this RCT, direct laryngoscopy was inferior to video laryngoscopy for first-pass success. In fact, it was so inferior that we had to stop the trial early after DSMB review due to the clear benefit of VL. This is the 🔨 nail in the ⚰️ for DL. While it's an important skill, VL should be the standard when it's available. If it's not available, we need to make it available. nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… #emergency #emergencymedicine #icu #criticalcare #airway #military #war #trauma #data #science #research #armyemdoc #medtwitter #foamcc #foamed

Send in the art lines! The time sacrifice is minimal, the yield can be incalculable, and there's no reason skilled flight crews cannot place them. Bring the care to the patient. @AMPAdocs @NAEMSP @mercyflightwny @ktanaka_0123 @JLynchDO

Someone you care about may be struggling with opioid misuse. Naloxone is safe. It won't hurt someone if they don't need it. NALOXONE. SAVES. LIVES. But it can't work by itself. Learn where to get it and how to administer it BEFORE you need to. #harmreduction
MATTERS@matters_network

#Naloxone has no effect on someone who does not have opioids in their system. It reverses the effects that #opioids have on the body, saving lives across the country. Are you certified in naloxone administration? Get trained with MATTERS today! @JLynchDO @HealthNYGov

I FULLY support #StopTheBleed and training students to intervene in cases of life threatening traumatic hemorrhage. It. Saves. Lives. But guess what would work even better? Eliminating school shootings. It's long past time for brave and decisive action. #ThisIsMyLane

Here's what's going on in the Texas legislature in response to school shootings: All students in third grade and up to be trained in battlefield trauma care. legiscan.com/TX/text/HB1147…

@stevecripe57 Agree, trauma, acute stroke within a window, & STEMI need minimal interventions @ scene (but some! needle decompress, ASA to the STEMI, check glucose for stroke) prior to transport. We ask EMS to make complex medical decisions that do affect outcome. Let's pay them like we do!

@retrievalmd For trauma, it's very wrong & why we need to train medics to function while moving towards definitive care. Unless you have a trauma team, surgical crew, radiology equip., etc., along with you to every trauma case, you should be moving & learn to function while en route. 2/end

@retrievalmd I agree with you that care should start at the bedside, often in the home. At the same time, Medics are not trained to function & do procedures while traveling to definitive care. You can start IVs/IOs, you can intubate, you can do other procedures while moving to the hospital.
