Important conclusions from the Irish medical organisation wellbeing survey: something our departments can do is build resilience into rostering. Sickness WILL happen.

"Law enforcement can either make things better or worse,” Paul Penn says, echoing a phenomenon we see in the Emergency Department with agitated patients every day of the week. #ICEM22
What should healthcare expect in civil unrest? This, says Paul Penn (plus “common sense in short supply” was at the bottom of the slide) #ICEM22
I’m not even sure what to tweet from the disaster session at #ICEM22 - I’ve spent the first three talks mouth agape, intermittently muttering “oh my God."
Where are we up to with gender equity in EM, asks @IFEMPresident Sally McCarthy - not as far along as we might have otherwise hoped. #ICEM22
There’s potential in the newer POC troponin assays, but the evidence isn’t quite there yet. There’s still work to do!
@richardbody #ICEM22
Can POC troponin testing further streamline our diagnostic testing for patients with chest pain, and ultimately help relieve ED overcrowding? @richardbody takes us through the evidence #ICEM22
The health effects of colonisation and racism are ongoing - healthcare providers can be perpetrators. We need to accept our privilege and separate the goodness of our intentions from the effects of our actions - and take responsibility
@gregoryabstarr #ICEM22
"Gender equity training should be like basic life support - everyone should learn about this and be certified", says @imronsubhan #ICEM22
Achieving gender equity and equality is a mammoth task, says @imronsubhan - there is much to be done, but we need to accept there is a problem and take the first step #ICEM22
Moving talk by @Kon__K and a well-deserved standing ovation - but if you’re moved to do more, you can donate to @ASRC1 to support their work https://asrc.org.au/donate/ #ICEM22
A lovely visual reminder of the difference between equality and equity from @MulindaNyirenda #ICEM22
I’m a serious fangirl for @MulindaNyirenda - she kicks ass. One of only four EM specialists in Malawi, she’s an excellent speaker and I’m so excited to hear what she has to say on social determinants of health #ICEM22
Just going to leave this here so I can go to the afternoon tea break on time… (reference @EMManchester at www.stemlynsblog.org/captain-question-strikes... #ICEM22
“[Penetrating] Trauma is a naked disease”, says Whitney Bryant. Couldn’t agree more - strip the patient, have a look everywhere for the other injuries (esp axillae), or you’ll miss something significant. #ICEM22

Kyle Au Yeung #ICEM22
Staggering statistic from Indranil Das: prehospital care is crucial to determining survival but less than 1% of overall LMIC population has access to dedicated EMS. #ICEM22
I love this trauma-related chain of survival from @MyaCubitt - focused in a way that includes older people, as she advocates for using the tools we already have for our older trauma patients, instead of trying to exclude them #ICEM22
First pass success rate of 80% highlighted as a point of query in the paediatric intubation paper - I can’t stop myself from saying once again that the vast majority of paediatric airways ARE NOT DIFFICULT - you just THINK they are. #ICEM22 @emlitofnote
Peter Cameron’s bottom line on transfusion and fluids in trauma #ICEM22
Interesting paper shared by Maaret Castren - showing that having a lactate >4 was associated with an 18-fold increase in risk of in-hospital cardiac arrest compared with normal lactate https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8778773/ #ICEM22
