I present to you, the Blood Hell SALAD. We're working on the recipe to share, but we used #TrueClot from @LunaInc_Labs. A huge shout out to @jducanto for filming and allowing us to really muck up the airway. #SALAD #BloodHellSALAD

Congratulations to all! What a great combination to improve simulation fidelity.
Hot off the press from Chadason et al. & @ProtectedAirway Techniques for simulating airway contamination during cadaveric airway training. Kudos to the first author paramedic Chadason! @le_chadd onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Say it louder in the back!
Replying to @BMorshediMD
Sure. But get rid of AEMT, make EMT the AEMT scope and make it a year of school. Our current EMT training model can’t sustain endless additions to the EMT scope safely.

BREAKING: The @CARESRegistry, the only national data collection tool that connects pre-hospital cardiac arrest data with hospital outcomes, will receive $23.85 million in grant funding over the next five years from the CDC. 🙌news.emory.edu/stories/2023/…

Hey @NHTSAgov, Mr. Hammond is preoccupied at this time.

Unpopular opinion, I prefer the side rails ⬇️ on the stretcher (left). Putting them down is a task done on every call. It's more efficient and one less task to perform.

Enhancing patient care and provider performance through intentional design. Providers are able to gain access to oxygen through the outside of the backpack without need to rearrange for patient transfer. #HumanFactors #ResusDesign

I can already smell this and I'm gagging haha
I’ve done a lot of simulation around #SALAD and contaminated airway management, but I’ve never seen anything like what @UNMEMSA paramedics students get to do. Taking training to the extreme so that real-life seems easy in comparison.

🌟 Huge thanks to @Glasgow_Times for spotlighting the adoption of Paediatric SCRAM™ by @RCHGlasgow. This achievement follows an in-depth study on refining paediatric emergency airway management. glasgowtimes.co.uk/news/2374… Learn more: paulswinton.com/scram/ #HighPerformance

Woah, this is a game changer for ACS patients and care!
For the first time in history, #ESC merges ST-elevation ACS and non-ST elevation ACS guidelines! #ECG at presentation is a WORKING diagnosis, final diagnosis has to be corrected upon angiography. An important step towards the occlusion myocardial infarction era recognizing the underlying pathology in these patients.

Quite an accomplishment by the @MDSP!

The #BloodonBoard initiative initially rolled out on May 10 starting w/ Trooper 1 and Trooper 2. So far, blood has been transfused in the field to 21 critically injured patients. Patients who have received blood transfusions have been injured as a result of many types of trauma.

Young people aren't suffering more CA.
Trending today, cardiac arrest in athletes Cardiac arrest deaths in young people (under 35) are extremely rare. Less than 300 per year in a population. There as been no statistically significant change in card arrest deaths under 35, ever.
