𝐃𝐒𝐄𝐃 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤! That's what a new observational study from New Zealand reports. 𝘕𝘰 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘷𝘪𝘷𝘢𝘭 𝘣𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘧𝘪𝘵 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘋𝘚𝘌𝘋 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘸𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘪𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. That's where most people stop reading, and say "I told you so!" ❗ But let's not make that mistake. A result like this begs the question, "How does this make sense when the DOSE VF RCT showed that DSED more than doubled survival in refractory VF?" This is why the headline read of a study is rarely the read that matters. ✅ The methodology is. ✅ The patient population is. ✅ The timing of the intervention is. And the limitations the authors themselves disclose, often tell you more than the conclusion. I took a deep dive.

No Extra Clicks. That was the challenge I gave my team when we started building ScanSafe™. Scan the vial. Verification happens instantly. Right inside the workflow. No extra steps. @Handtevy @PLAN4ZERO @AmerAcadPeds @NAEMSP @DrCheskes

97% correct pediatric medication dosing. Across an entire multi-agency EMS system. Sustained. Peer-reviewed. The highest ever published. New blog post on what Rochester did and why it matters. 👇 linkedin.com/pulse/97-correc…

Grateful to @mklevy10 for calling attention to a major patient safety gap at the @NAEMSP annual meeting. Medication scanning matters, especially in high-risk EMS and hospital environments. We’re focused on solving this in Handtevy Mobile. #NAEMSP2026

Six years later, that first hospitalization still defines our memory. "𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘴𝘰𝘯 𝘩𝘢𝘴 𝘛𝘺𝘱𝘦 1 𝘥𝘪𝘢𝘣𝘦𝘵𝘦𝘴" But what followed wasn’t just learning insulin and finger sticks. It was being offered 𝐡𝐢𝐠𝐡-𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐛 𝐬𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬 that led to huge blood sugar swings, and several scary moments he’s never forgotten. That's what stuck. Six years later, Noah continues to make sure that newly diagnosed children have Low Carb options during their initial hospitalization. Through his club at club at @AHSBroward, he delivers Diabetic Snack Boxes to @JDCHospital, right when families need them most. The letter he places on each box still makes my eyes well up. Next shipment ready. 💙

Alan and his family invited me for a doubles match, on the same court where two bystanders, my crew from Palm Beach County Fire Rescue Station 49, and EMS Captain Darwin Zelaya, fought to bring him back. They delivered 2 AED shocks, 1 standard shock, six rounds of Dual Sequential External Defibrillation, as well as amiodarone and esmolol, achieving ROSC before arrival at Delray Medical Center. Alan also recorded a quick PSA for clinicians who still question whether #DSED works. Walking off that court, I couldn’t help but feel grateful. Grateful for the bystanders, the crew, the science, and for the chance to see a life fully reclaimed. That’s the power of EMS. @DrCheskes @emcrit @PBCFR @AHAScience @ERC_resus @ResusCouncilUK @ResusJournal @NEJM
