How hot would it have been when it hit the water? I imagine the thermal shock must be huge

Ooooohhh, can you please link some papers? I have been roundly berated by nursing staff for not giving acetaminophen to febrile children. I've even been berated for not giving it to a kid I intubated for complex febrile convulsions with aspiration hypoxia and so on 🤷

Check out Dresden, they have some pretty cool stuff, and very reasonable prices

Cheers! One recent patient (first echo) did happen to brady down: already had some metaraminol drawn up, gave some while epi drawn up, good effect 🤷
We're currently enrolling suspected cardiogenic shock to epi/norepi www.anzctr.org.au/Trial/Regist...

Aside from getting between ribs being hard, my biggest peeve with IQ+ is the cable. Wireless would be so much more convenient

I wonder if #GEHealthcare would like to sponsor a poor paramedic with a Vscan Air SL 🤔
Definitely more info is always good so I always try.
I'd look for DVT in the unexplained tachy/SOB etc pt if I don't see anything on echo. Usually they are obviously sick when I see them tho, so I don't bother

Every now and then I surprise myself with a nice echo! It's always hard not being able to get pt in right position in ambulance, and the IQ+ isn't ideal for cardiac windows. I don't tend to look for DVT: by the time I see them it's not a good use of time.

(Different patient, not as sick, but sick enough...)

Hi Josh, curious about the choice between epi/norepi? Have had some very sick PEs recently (prehospital) & have gone with norepi to avoid flogging an empty LV. Don't know there is a great option but would love more insight into managing sick, acute PE before lysis (scans are hard in moving truck!)

Those are gorgeous. Wish I wasn't a giant chungus and could wear them!

Sure, but if you go around helping people, things might get a little bit better, and then where would we be. Didn't think about that, did you?

That's well under way though Seth.
Oh wait, the season, not the fall of society

I feel your pain. CPR during COVID in full tyvek and mask, Melbourne summer (40+ Celsius) in housing commission flat with no air-conditioning... 🥵

No straight blades, but I think one of the styles is a sort of hybrid? Didn't really look at the small human version unfortunately so I'm not entirely sure!

Have a look at these maybe: murraymedicalsolutions.com.au/products/poc...
No COI, we use McGrath, but I have evaluated the adult version and it is significantly better than the McGrath IMO.

@andrewjtagg.bsky.social The resemblance is uncanny... It must be like looking in a mirror for you! youtu.be/ckEpQWNv-mc?...

They can ride in convoy with the ScanVans... Sorry, stroke trucks
