A Melbourne father has survived two heart attacks and a car crash, and he has his wife to thank. She raised the alarm when he complained of chest pains, sparking a miracle chain reaction which ended with life-saving surgery on the street. youtu.be/7yTYIK1_Uuw @JaydeVincent

Extracorporeal CPR may be the way of the future. But in the meantime it needs a system of care and strict consensus based guidelines. This @ELSOOrg statement is a great piece of work by friends and colleagues at @AlfredHealth @AmbulanceVic @samudeparis and others.

Why don't you come into my ICU and say that to the family of a patient dying from COVID-19? This is a public health emergency, not an opportunity for cheap political point scoring. This virus doesn't care who you vote for or what newspaper you read.
Shameful what's occurring in Victoria. Effective dictatorship declared. Devastating, destructive power of the state on full display. Respect for the individual clearly irrelevant. What's the point in being alive if you can't live?

This is an incredible save - amazing work by the clinicians at Bairnsdale, @AmbulanceVic ARV, our ECMO team, plus too many @alfredhealth specialties and clinicians to mention. Most of all, fantastic work by Rory and his family to come through it all. 👏🏼

3 weeks ago - just one Australian COVID ICU patient and all crit care staff available. Today - 11 in ICU and 21 staff unavailable. Hoping we get control again & thinking of everyone in Victoria. @anzics @AmbulanceVic

#covid19FOAM #coronavirus updates from the CCM-L list. Troubling reports from Italy, as this sounds like a rather sicker population than described in other settings. Note the high prevalence of shock and fairly young age bracket. (shared with permission)

Getting over 4 litres per minute of flow through @100percentbyrne’s home-made silicone #ECMO cannulation model. Very realistic according to cannulator @drsarahyong. @intensiveblog #MedEd #simulation
