Quick Free Airway Education!
Taking time to correctly position a patient is, in my view, the NUMBER ONE way to improve your chances of successful airway management
I've made a short (5 min) free lesson
Please have a look and give your feedback after

🚨New Paediatric #sepsis criteria🚨
I welcome huge effort to review the evidence & removal of any concept of 'pre-sepsis' screening.
But Houston we do now have a problem:
Any definition of sepsis now depends on a blood test or low GCS with oxygen requirement.

KETAMINE, KIDS, AND DOSING
While legal authorities looked on, two white men injected a young brown-skinned child with a big dose of ketamine.
They then handcuffed him and deliberately shoved his face underwater.
The child lived.

Loved teaching at SW Ambulance Doctor Service training day. I learn as much from my community colleagues as they (I hope!) learn from me! Some fab collaborative discussions today. Thanks @sailordoctor & @Damian_Roland for two of my fave slides…

When you attend an A&E/Emergency Department.
1️⃣ We will see people in order of clinical urgency.
2️⃣Arriving by ambulance does not mean you will be seen quicker

This (with other papers) suggests may not need expert ultrasonography skills to rule in/out buckle #.
That is the game changer as (with results of FORCE study) means you U/S at triage, confirm buckle, go home.

We had fun today checking out different flow rates to aid cannula choice 😆 Idea shamelessly stolen from Twitter! (Blood is fake)

A 5-year-old presents with a 2-day history of fever, cough and coryza. A urine dip shows 1+ protein but otherwise clear. What does the protein mean? Shall we ignore it? Is it just from the fever? 👨⚕️👩⚕️ Read about incidental proteinuria at ow.ly/zGiS50NIgqt #dftb #foamed

This is incredibly helpful.
The root cause of many presentations in infants with minor illnesses, especially respiratory, is the infant isn’t sleeping and the parents are broken as a result.
This is useful to demonstrate “abnormal” sleeping isn’t actual that abnormal. – at East Midlands, England
What is normal duration of sleep in babies aged 1-4 months?
No need to guess - we now have centile charts 🇮🇪
Note 93% white babies so may not be generalisable
