Very much aligns with the experience @EastAngliAirAmb @EAAARAID with both radial IBP and SPEAR femoral lines. More info on both here: link.springer.com/article/10.118… journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11… And in modern day PHEM, scene time is a poor metric - described here link.springer.com/article/10.118…

Great paper showing that non invasive BP measurement is unreliable in a PHEM case mix. #IABP better and feasible in prehospital care #foamed stemlynsblog.org/non-invasive-o…

Surely no one with experience of an arterial line would question its utility in the critically unwell?


Brad Sheridan Reposted

There is no evidence suggesting that setting up an IABP on-scene increases time to treatment / CT. To me, it is all about timing and team work. IABP should be the standard when treating post-ROSC patients and patients given an emergency anaesthesia; both pre- and in hospital.

This is for all anesthesia trainees: No procedure in IR suite/hybrid OR is a minor procedure. If the patient needs to go to IR, something is not right. Make sure the patient is optimized and you are fully prepared to deal with adverse events.


Great organisation. Great people. Great job. Great experience

We're recruiting for HEMS Registrar positions @airambulancekss - obviously biased but it'll be one of the best jobs you ever do: jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/joba…

Yep. Slight differences in UK. We use 2g bolus for head injuries. We still have 1g bolus almost always prehospital and then the 8-hour 1g infusion as standard. In practice I and many others now give that 1g top-up as a bolus in the ED. Otherwise it does not get given. #uoftem24

Great tips from @petrosoniak on adjuncts in MHP 1. Give TXA 2gm when you give blood 2. 4gm fibrinogen conc for levels <1.5 3. Keep temp > 35C 4. Calcium Cl 1 amp #uoftem24 @davidcarr333

Got this in the post today! I took a slight circuitous route, but an excellent journey nonetheless. I thoroughly recommend @TraumaMasters for anyone who’s considering it. World class education and phenomenal support. Many thanks @TraumaEMC, @ZBPerkins @cjaylwin, @karimbrohi et al

I have been using pressors from a peripheral iv (piv) for a long time. But I think we have moved fast to the other side... I am afraid that we are training a generation of residents/NPs/PAs thinking that it is fine to manage with 2 pivs a patient who is on norepi 0.25 mcg/kg/min

OSA talk at #periSIG23 multiple take home messages. Most prominent for me is that it takes CPAP 4 weeks to improve symptoms so not for urgent situations, and that oral devices work very well and are well tolerated. Also that access to CPAP is expensive for patients.

It was great to collaborate with this team and publish a systematic review and meta-analysis of tranexamic acid (TXA) use in major trauma; we think the first to include results from the recent published PATCH study. Free, open access: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Should the hospitals of the future centralise obstetric units nearer to operating theatre complexes and intensive care units? These units are the highest area for activity out of hours. @NAPs_RCoA @RCoANews @jas_soar @emirakur @doctimcook twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Safe POCUS requires that one can articulate the pre-test probability which justifies the scan, and the positive and negative likelihood ratios of that specific POCUS exam performed. POCUS without a basic understanding of Bayesian clinical decision making is perhaps dangerous.


Great idea. As long as front-line workers have control over what goes on the dashboards and posters

Thinking about this a lot lately Public expectations regarding emergency care should be managed with aggressive transparency It’s fairer to our patients, fairer to our staff, and might incentivise change at a political level Article by @dr_mattmorgan bmj.com/content/380/bm…
