Does anybody know why soldiers mark there webbing and helmet etc with their blood type. Are their any situations where this could be credible information?

Critical care for all. This superb article is just what Essential Emergency Critical Care advocates need to feel optimistic about the near future.

Critical care nursing is taking off and courses like this are happening in many different countries. Essential Emergency Critical Care is transforming the roles that RN's do in low-income settings in sub Saharan Africa. – at Cottingham, England

Critical Care can be delivered outside of high-income countries and is up and running in many unlikely settings. Read this comprehensive paper and watch out for the increased attention that is given to research and clinical practices that are becoming the vanguard of EECC.

Why is the nursing profession in UK 90% women! It's the most explicit gender imbalance in the health workforce and is being used as a negotiation stance for all the wrong reasons.

It's loud and clear that nurses throughout the world support Ukraine 🇺🇦

A dignified and thought-provoking poster. It's good to see an intelligent poster that makes a simple statement to give people perspective.

Divide and rule. Its easy to distance ourselves from the management despite having no knowledge of their existence. Its a cathartic experience to criticise management but usually its a biased perspective that colleagues nod along to. Roy Lilley adds some background information:
Long awaited development, such good news.
Dr. Sund, we hear you!
Lifebox and @Smiletrain are working to address the #capnography gap. An affordable and robust device is in development, with tests happening with partners right now.

Almost the final word on appropriate terminology used in Global Health & Development.
Very useful table summarising terminologies used in global health & development. Should be part of training and teaching (including for those already working in this space!)
Great work @themrise @seyeabimbola @CKyobutungi @paimadhu

Non-invasive monitoring is a crucial aspect of critical care. This pair of ICU #OnePagers explains how pulse oximetry (#SpO2) & end tidal CO2 (#ETCO2) monitoring work and what factors can cause them to read incorrectly. #FOAMed #FOAMcc
In the 80's-90's when I was a NHS critical care nurse and a medic (CMT) in the TA I was often asked by men what's it like to work mainly with women? Genuine curiosity. rcni.com/nursing-standard/ne…
I've worked - taught in several African countries where men are 30-50% of the hospital work force and no one has any concerns about caring being seen as a feminine role that's 'unmanly'. Uganda, Cameroon & Gambia take a bow for equality: rcni.com/nursing-standard/ne…

This survey seems to be more expansive than ALS and has influenced my thinking about resuscitation and reflect on past attempts at CPR.
We’re doing some work on healthcare worker’s perception of what the nebulous term ‘resuscitation’ means and how it is practically interpreted. There’s a SM here if you have 7 mins to spare: surveymonkey.com/r/Z5G5BTL
Hoping for a wide spread of experience & specialties.
It's time for me to change my teaching about tracheal deviation. castbox.fm/vb/58579378?_t=25… this is the point-in-discussion of a superb podcast about tracheal deviation being unlikely as a finding in pneumothorax.
The sternal notch is at T2 in most pt’s. Tracheal deviation on a CXR of Tension Pneumothorax(TPx) often occurs lower than this, so in the sternal notch the trachea is still palpable centrally.
