Own The Resus

A video on how to nail resuscitation

I made it more than a decade ago but the concepts haven’t changed even if it looks a bit dated

Cardiac arrest airway management issue:

How a LUCAS mechanical CPR device can move the hinged screen of a CMAC Videolaryngoscope in a relatively short patient unless head positioning is optimised

We use arterial lines during cardiac arrest to guide vasoactive therapy to optimise coronary perfusion

This study provides data to guide paediatric resus
DBP> 25 mm Hg for infants & > 30 mm Hg for older children associated with higher rates of survival

This will be our first time bringing DFTB to Adelaide, so let us explore some fun facts together! #DFTB23 #ACC #AdelaideEvents

For me this is as complex as it gets in retrieval medicine. VA ECMO, COVID, & multi organ failure in the back of a helicopter reminds me of my personal PHRM principles

Remember your basics.
Do them well.
You are never alone.

Seven & a half years ago John Hinds knocked everyone's socks off with Crack the Chest Get Crucified in Chicago

Remembering John & his family at Christmas

Always reminded to keep our intentions honourable

Your inspiration is immortal mate

This reflects our experience too @SydneyHEMS

NIBP becomes a random number generator in very hypovolaemic patients

So many arguments now for femoral arterial access in severely ill patients - both in trauma & medical illness

@resuscitology @SydneyHEMS @airwaycam For more on paediatric airways - as well as loads of other critical care tips, tricks and gems - why not join us in Bunbury, WA next March? https://resuscitology.com/registration/

Something that comes up @resuscitology regularly is paediatric airway management, particularly in major trauma - so here's a short thread 🧵 with the way I think about it. This is for you particularly if you *aren’t* a paediatric anaesthetist…!

iGel thread which should be of use to first responders and EMS providers, emergency department and ICU staff, and even novice anaesthetists https://twitter.com/cliffreid/status/1598460503629926400

Remember when you admit a patient with ROSC post CPR, as well as their medical condition you are also admitting a patient with significant thoracic trauma

Regardless of who intubates in your ED all EM clinicians should have a clear understanding of certain anaesthetic drugs and approaches to intubation like RSI
