Hey guys, another awsome ECG from a patient with chest pain and STEMI. @ecg_cases @ecgrhythms @EkgHacks @smithECGBlog #Cardiology #CardioTwitter #ECG

This is a hard question! You probably learned that "its bad to give someone with COPD ‘too much’ O2 because they might stop breathing”
Turns out hypoxic respiratory drive causing apnea is a MYTH..but there is an important truth here:
A🧵on Oxygen induced hypercapnia!

During a skin exam, the patient told me they had HIV. I acknowledged it and kept inspecting the skin, some areas with my bare hand. Patient teared up and thanked me for not “jumping away” as soon as I learned they were HIV positive. It’s 2022. HIV+ people are not dirty.

Finnish Study concludes: "Integration of paramedics into end-of-life care at home is reasonable especially in rural areas without 24/7 palliative care services and outside of office hours" #ParamedicResearch #ParamedicEoLC #EoLC journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs…

We did it! The largest randomized trial of CPAP for breathlessness in the prehospital arena - 708 patients.
Take home message - effective at relieving dyspnoea +++; no effect on mortality.

Nice when what we’ve said for years is now backed up by research
A nurse team leader in cardiac arrest improves CPR/Defib quality and cognitively offloads the physician
(also nice study name!)

In trauma patients, lying a patient flat with no pillow leaves the neck EXTENDED. For a NEUTRAL position, occipital elevation is required.
An added bonus: airway management is easier and laryngeal view is improved.
Does your trauma centre leave patients' necks extended?
Just completed my first peer review. Amazing effort authors put into their important papers, difficult to provide negative feedback via in text notes

Colleagues, your professional status & lifelong contribution to medicine does not entitle you to abuse others, no matter how much that short term buzz compensates for your personal inadequacies

Mind. Blown.
Who knew?!! Bic pen =30 squares on rhythm strip = 6 secs. So, number of QRS under pen x 10 = HR. Thank you @bthft_syncope @yvonneBlackbu19

Ironically, I found myself once again sharing the OR with this gentleman a couple of years later. Except this time with the privilege of asking for a 10-blade and proceeding to open the chest.
He had no idea who I was. But I certainly remembered him.
Words matter.
