Following years of work, and months of rigorous preparation, @LDNairamb in close support and collaboration with @NHSBartsHealth launches the UK’s first Pre-Hospital #ECMO CPR Capability!

@LDNairamb #ECPR team ready to fly. Bringing state of the art cardiac arrest care anywhere in London

@MLSCourse @FOAMecmo @iceman_ex @EchoSoliman @EduardArgudo @DYannopoulos @ECMOdaily @GomorraDoc @EuroELSO Acronym game is strong there guys!

You all know Harlequin, now meet RIDDLER, ECMO’s newly named syndrome of differential decarboxylation in spontaneously breathing patients. ahajournals.org/eprint/ZTN6HPH… @FOAMecmo @iceman_ex @EchoSoliman @EduardArgudo @DYannopoulos @ECMOdaily @GomorraDoc @EuroELSO

@jewett6a @HansvanSchuppen Aberdeen has been a commissioned part of the SRF for a number of years now and Scotland has amounsgt the highest rates of MCS in the UK.

@Neil_brain1 @HansvanSchuppen Is Aberdeen officially standalone now? Or still an annex of Leicester? I have been out of the ECLS loop for a few years now

The Netherlands now has nationwide availability of prehospital ECPR! From today, our #HEMS team of Amsterdam is equipped with #ECMO as part of the OnScene trial. Now all Dutch HEMS can provide ECPR. 🚁🇳🇱 More info on onscenetrial.com And check out youtu.be/3hCBeQ6FsSM?si…

@jewett6a @HansvanSchuppen There’s two excellent ECMO centres in Scotland delivering nationally funded services for severe respiratory failure and advanced heart failure. Please reach out if you’d like to visit and see our work.

@HansvanSchuppen Brilliant. Scotland can't even afford an ecmo centre nevermind pre hospital ecls. Great news for people on the transplant waiting list. 😉

@EwenPearson2 @Resuspiece @TomStocks1982 Apart from the vascular services in Aberdeen and Inverness…

@Resuspiece @TomStocks1982 Some places eg anywhere north of Perth don’t have any access to emergency vascular services 😳😳😳😡😡😡 but still protas good as that “run” by an AA with no supervision

What on earth? Do they not realise how crazy this sounds? AA covering emergency theatres, VASCULAR service for a large proportion of Scotland?

@divermac03 @Pipes_n_pumps @FPHCEd @drmamoun01 @GomorraDoc Evidence trial has tried to answer that question, in part at least, results present at CCR this week but full paper awaited. Abstract suggests the headline is neutral outcome.

@Pipes_n_pumps @FPHCEd @drmamoun01 @GomorraDoc From an ambulance point of view would it potentially be beneficial to apply a mechanic CPR device maximise oxygenation and transport to a dedicated Center, defib enroute drugs enroute. In essence a 180° turn of what we do now??

Following on from the publication of the hotly anticipated SUB30 study of prehospital extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) for refractory out of hospital cardiac arrest, it was a pleasure to attend the @FPHCEd webinar with @drmamoun01 @GomorraDoc Dr Ben Singer and Dr Jey Jeyanathan 1/

@CritCareReviews @HawkmoonHEMS When will the full paper be published @HawkmoonHEMS ?

EVIDENCE trial A randomized trial of expedited intra-arrest transfer versus more extended on-scene resuscitation for refractory out of hospital cardiac arrest:  Expedited transportation did not improve survival with favourable neurological outcome. #CCRdownunder

What a privilege to hear Katie’s story about her cardiac transplant. Patients stories are so important to contextualise what we do. #TC2024

And now Neil Brain telling us all about cardiogenic shock 🫀

Cardiac transplantation for the afternoon. Great to hear from anaesthetic/ICU, cardiology and, especially, the patient perspective #tc2024

How brave of Katie (who is 18!) to come up on stage in front of so many doctors and talk about her transplant. #TC2024
