In the light of the #RoeVsWade ruling we reiterate: The College strongly supports the availability of abortion being an essential aspect of safe healthcare delivery, and stands with healthcare professionals across the world in protecting patients’ access to care.

My take away ‘hot topics’ from #ICEM22
1) Pharmacist role in critical situations.
2) Automated abstraction of key information from prior hospital records.
3) Impact of climate change on emergency care are very real in many countries.
4) Care for low energy transfer trauma.
Nearly thought Prof Edgardo Menendez was going to end his fantastic #ICEM22 lecture with his absolutely amazing despacito intubation guide from @icem2018 in Mexico… here’s a taster for those who missed it. Such a passionate emergency medicine leader!
@acemonline @ICEM2022
Excellent, thought-provoking morning at #ICEM22 with a fantastic panel who have challenged me to think more about how equality doesn’t equal equity. We all individually can push for equitable care for our patients. Gender, race, refugee status - we need to do better. @ICEM2022
As @FfionDavies4 said - we need to be the leaky tap, we need to keep bringing this up and continue to make it part of the dialogue.

Challenged by @PRIYAMARATHE10 at #ICEM22 on gender equity and equality. Why female patients in ED suffer more - inadequate anaesthetic given, ACS not diagnosed, abdo pain called hysterical. #advancingwomenEM @IFEM2 @IFEMPresident @IFEMPresElect @acemonline @imronsubhan
#ICEM22 Whitney Bryant provided a fantastic overview of gunshot injuries for those of us who rarely see them.
- gunshot hx taking
- “be fast and be decisive” in caring for GSW
- “platinum 10 minutes” to get pt out of trauma bay
- “trauma is a naked disease” - need full body exam
#ICEM22 ‘Trauma Care in the 21st Century’ kicking off with @MyaCubitt : “it’s time to evolve our view of trauma… towards the people who carry the burden of injury in our populations”. 40% deaths in major trauma are in ppl >75yrs. Av falls LOS is ~9.5 days
@ICEM2022 @acemonline
My key take-aways from the “Clinical and Literature Updates - Resuscitation” at #ICEM22 @acemonline @ICEM2022
- lactate & risk of IHCA: poor lactate associated with 7.5x risk of in hospital cardiac arrest
- LMA equal or better than ETT pre-hospital, but BVM equally adequate
- in resource limited settings, “perfection is the enemy of good” in resuscitations
- resus research findings are always changing, but currently norad 1st line in sepsis, poor evidence for REBOA, don’t overfill with saline
- CRM needs deliberate appropriate practice

A powerful message on lost indigenous culture and language to start ICEM22 @IFEM2 @IFEMPresident @IFEMPresElect @JudkinsSimon @RaghwanShani Excited to be here to learn more about COVID, global ED care, access block, quality & safety, gender equity and innovation.

“Prophetic words not heeded” - @IFEMPresident quoting reflections from @prof_cameron following SARS. If only we had learned the lessons…#ICEM21
Thought-provoking plenary by Dr Kirsten Johnston: “Role of EM in Future Disaster & Pandemic Response”. It’s easy in Aus to not fully understand the global effects the pandemic has had - gender inequality in job losses, disproportionate loss of education for the poor, etc #ICEM21
Also highlighted the need for “preparation, education, resilience, and leadership” as well as equitable access to global resources (e.g. PPE) #ICEM21 @CAEP_Docs
Inspiring words by Dr Priyadarshini Marathe on advancing women in the field of emergency medicine (and some very beautifully presented slides!) @PRIYAMARATHE10 #ICEM21 #ICEM2021
Very comprehensive talk by Dr AzizIrahman @who_else19 on “Paediatric Abdominal Pain: Is it Just Constipation or Something Else?”. A nice list of signs that may suggest something more concerning than 💩
