I think this is one of our best episodes yet.
I genuinely learned so much in our conversation with Claire. I know you will too.
The incidence of AND in children and young people is increasing, making this episode a must-listen for anyone working in prehospital care.
🚨 New Clinical Conversations episode!
Children with acute behavioural disturbance: a growing, high-risk cohort.
🎙️ @expensivecare and I hear from Dr. Claire Wilkin on causes, de-escalation, sedation & risk.

🚨🚨 We are so pleased to release the @VACAR_AV Annual Report 2023-24, highlighting the incredible achievements of community, @AmbulanceVic and our health system in improving outcomes from #OHCA. We have achieved our highest ever Utstein survival outcomes 1/2

An absolute blinder of a podcast episode.
An incredible discussion between @JamesOz1 and @expensivecare navigating this complex area of emergency care.
Some great pearls and pragmatic solutions grounded in experience and evidence 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas…
It’s not often that you need to provide a risky treatment before you’ve even assessed the patient, but that’s what paramedics sometimes need to do when caring for patients with acute behavioural disturbance.
@JamesOz1 & I talk safer sedation on Clinical Conversations.
🚑 New Podcast Episode🎙️
Sedation is one of the most ethically and clinically risky interventions in pre-hospital care. In this episode of Clinical Conversations, @expensivecare and I discuss how we can make it safer.
🔗 Listen now: open.spotify.com/episode/6dY…
Morphine or fentanyl? Does splinting really reduce pain? Is ketamine the ideal prehospital analgesic? Is there a role for paramedic administered NSAIDs? What about nerve blocks?
Find out the answer to these and more on part 2 of James’ interview with Bill Lord.
🚑💊🤕
Pain relief is important, so what can we actually do to help? In Part 2 of my conversation with @BillLord2 and @expensivecare, we look at best practice in the care of people with pain. open.spotify.com/episode/3Qf…

Delighted to receive my copy of “Critical Care Paramedicine” from @classprofession today.
It was a real honour to be invited to contribute to this textbook alongside Rose, to describe current best practice when caring for the #newborn in an out-of-hospital setting
Fascinating, and great job by all - 2 large trials that answer an important question.
Glad that we reserved a decision on a broader rollout of IO in our service (from just CCPs to all paramedics) while awaiting the results of PARAMEDIC3.
#researchmatters
2 RCTs testing IV vs IO vascular access in OHCA patients just published in the @NEJM and concomitantly presented at #RESUS24 @ERC_resus
➡️ No difference in 30d survival in both trials
➡️ Higher rate of ROSC with IV access in the #PARAMEDIC3 trial

Congratulations to the authors for randomizing 6082 + 1506 patients to answer this important question!

TWO PERSON CHECKING TO LESSEN RISK OF OESOPHAGEAL INTUBATION is feasible & acceptable Great to see this paper in early access in
@BJAJournals
A simple feasibility study supported both 2-person checking of capnograph trace (sustained exhaled CO2) & 2-person checking of videolaryngoscopic view at intubation by intubators and assistants This is in line with #PUMA guidance

Paramedic education and mindset often focuses on the “big 3” clinical presentations - cardiac arrest, STEMI, and major trauma. But sepsis is more common than all 3.
Join me as I chat with sepsis researcher Prof Andrew Udy on the latest episode of clinical conversations.
@AmbulanceVic's Sepsis and Infection guideline will drop in mid-October. @expensivecare sat down with Professor Andrew Udy, intensivist and head of research at the Alfred ICU to talk all things sepsis.
