What can we learn from pilots and plane crashes? ✈️ ☎️ Most are caused by communication errors 🎰 Most don’t start as catastrophic, but instead are on average 7 small mistakes that compound ⚔️ Copilots let their senior pilot crash the plane 25% of the time

Dr. Levy bringing some stats real talk to the mix. Resuscitation time bias (opposite of survival time bias) is not often taken into consideration in prehospital observational studies. @EaglesGather @mklevy10 #GatheringEagles19

Every person in EMS should mark their calendar today. Thanks to work from individuals across the country, we are moving to payment for treatment rather than payment for transport #emsismorethanataxi @NAEMSP #ET3

I would suspect that those same patients that earn cardiac, renal, etc work ups also have abnormal vitals and fail the rule. #sgemhop
Main concerns are ischemic EKG changes, elevated trop and creatinine. Had a ton of ODs in Philly & I've seen irreversible cardiac and renal damage with some. d/c If its a standard OD: got narcan right away, work up, medics brought in, vitals fine, pt exam fine.

Risk stratifying patients for discharge after opiate OD is just the beginning. Check out the amazing work @JLynchDO and @Buffalo_matters are doing linking patients to treatment from the ED after OD. buffalomatters.org/ #SGEMHOP #opioidcrisis onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Post-EMS contact cardiac arrest *IS* preventable. #1 intervention done is running to the ambulance. Don’t move sick medical patients until you have proved them stable or maximal therapy provided. #NAEMS2019
