Today I watched the session on special healthcare needs in the #Refresh2021 curriculum. @wkrost and his wife teamed up to provide a powerful and personal insight into communication and interaction with people who have special needs. Kudos on a great presentation! @refresh2021

Working on my portion of a project to develop a Community EMS provider curriculum. It took the better part of the morning to suppress the emergency mindset and focus on primary and preventative care.

Make your first attempt your best attempt. The standard for intubation is using video laryngoscopy, Bougie, leading with suction, and confirmation via ETCO2 capnography. What's your backup plan if there is a malfunction? Train with DL, superglottic devices, and cricothyroidotomy.

(1) "standard" left hypopharyngeal suction tip park for SALAD of ongoing airway soilage ... (2) laryngoscope park of suction when not needed in airway ... (3) other position being tucked under right shoulder or bed mattress ... (4) the floor #WhereToKeepAndFindRigidSuction

This is a good example of forward thinking.
Shout out to New Brunswick for putting Paramedics at the front of the line for the vaccine, recognizing one Paramedic crew alone can be in six to eight long term care homes in a single shift. #transmission Let's hope @ONThealth recognizes the same risk level.
Do not miss this opportunity.

@jducanto sucks, y’all (airway contaminants, that is). This should be a great lecture. Get your free CAPCE CE here.

Using a catheter mount is not a common practice in my locale, yet it can deliver so many advantages to prehospital care. What’s the deal? Cost? Education? The “It’s just not how we do that” culture?
As a cancer patient it is particularly harrowing to have to navigate society in the age of coronavirus. Make sure you get your flu shot! I got mine. cancer.org/latest-news/commo…

The wise understand that technology sometimes fails us, so be sure to keep up with your basic tools. #SALAD @mid_ems @jducanto @SSCORsuction @IntuBriteLLC @7S3Medical photo credit: @medicdanderson

Our EMS Program Medical Director, @jducanto provided a great day of airway and SALAD training for our paramedic students today. It is a real pleasure to experience this man’s passion for teaching. Thanks for a great day, Doc!

94% of people die after being shocked by a defibrillator. We shouldn’t blame the defibrillator for their death. #KetamineIsNotTheProblem

I can’t wait to be able to add this to our educational line-up this year in the @mid_ems paramedic program.
Spent just a little time playing with our new @AnatomageTable today. This is a great time to be alive with technology what it is. @jducanto

It is great to have a long range road map and all; however, doing nothing in the short term will render it useless.
The time for the future in EMS is now, not 2050. We have most of these resources and capabilities now. read, share, discuss. More importantly act for evolution @lou_nautic @FireMedic40NJ @bdfitzpatrick @ChiefRubin @NYCEMSwatch @SoundTrainingGr @jemsconnect @BobbyHalton @hp_ems
