Median time from injury to TCA (tamponade) 11 mins, but there is a window to intervene in this system (on scene 20 mins post injury).
Survival 52% (tamponade) if RT at point of TCA or within 1 minute!… not a treatment for exsanguination in this cohort jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

The #covidinquiry was back up and running this week and quickly into what some people think is one of the biggest scientific or policy mistakes (or 'misunderstandings' depending on your POV) of the whole pandemic. And it's all to do with how Covid is spread in the first place. 🧵

Ok. A few bits. Will add a context of intravenous sedation for long bone fracture manipulation as an example. 1. Even when the pre-sedation environment is tense, noisy, loud, etc., speak gently with the patient before you start. Allocate someone to continue to speak smoothly and

We all have fave central line approaches...given a choice, I do prefer the subclavian. It's just so reliable, esp in hypovolemia/shock. If you haven't done one in a while (or like many of our trainees, have NEVER done one) check out this refresher!

Ropivacaine for the soul! Thanks to all the contributors and @BurrellLisa for a great @EHAAT_ Regional Anaesthesia and Patient Experience Study day. FIB has an important place in prehospital care – at East, England
Today marks my final day as an anaesthetics trainee. It's a fantastic job and I've worked with some amazing people along the way. Looking forward to the next adventures with @LDNairamb and @FrimleyHealth.
