TXA, Don't Stop Believing?

When given by prehospital providers for suspected significant hemorrhage, TXA reduces 24-hour mortality but doesn’t affect 28-30-day mortality. Interesting new article on TXA that seems to leave us with more questions than answers. https://us3.campaign-archive.com/?e=7527ce3070&u=827fa052009e49f904cc3c386&id=c0dd39f9df

The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it..... Winston Churchill

Churchill once said, "The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is." This has to be one of my favourite quotes. Please forgive me if I seem to ramble through this blog but I would like to discuss an issue that has been on my mind for quite some time. This goes along the lines of something like this; Why are so many organisations so inefficient and badly run? and perhaps even more compelling, why do we as employees o

Giving students realistic scenarios and patient profiles prepares them to deal with success and fail

I note that the scenarios we are compelled to provide our students by various qualifying bodies have a positive outcome. If the student does everything right in the scenarios, the patient usually responds and gets better. The patients who die are typically the result of a student doing something wrong or missing an important finding. That’s not the way real life works. Sometimes we do things wrong and the patient isn’t harmed. Sometimes we do everything right and the patient

The 10 Commandments of Emergency Medicine.

The original Ten Commandments of Emergency Medicine were published 30 years ago by Wrenn and Slovis. Medicine, especially emergency medicine, has changed in the interim. Here is a modern update on the original classic article. https://us3.campaign-archive.com/?e=7527ce3070&u=827fa052009e49f904cc3c386&id=d36eeda0ac

To all you airway junkies out there a great article.

And Another Myth Busted!

Am I the only one missing the opportunity to choose between two isotonic crystalloids when confronted with various patients in the prehospital arena? Interesting in regards the use of Lactated Ringer's in the hyperkalemic patient. https://us3.campaign-archive.com/?e=7527ce3070&u=827fa052009e49f904cc3c386&id=49f8e06185 Your thoughts please?

"Visual Assessment of CPR is Neither Reliable or Accurate"

"Accurate assessment of CPR skills is critical to helping learners to improve performance. Prior studies demonstrate that the visual assessment of CPR quality is neither reliable or accurate, making it challenging for instructors to provide consistently meaningful feedback during CPR training. Feedback devices address this problem by providing objective feedback to learners and instructors during practice. CPR feedback devices can be grouped into 2 categories: corrective feed

AI, Virtual Gaming, Feedback Manikins And That's Just For a FREC 3!

Our latest FREC 3 students just worked through 2 consecutive weekends of FREC 3. We used virtual gaming for their resuscitation training which gave them a debrief after each attempt allowing them to prioritise and "lead virtual" cardiac arrests. They also used the Virtual Reality Patient Communicator Simulator to hone their patient communication skills. They received instant feedback on their performance and at each new attempt with their Virtual Patient there was marked imp
