MSc ✅️....Tough, often overwhelming, yet achievable. A process made easier by having the right people around; a great cohort and top-tier study team.

@loddyy24 Hi Olli. NWAS begin a road show-type event soon whereby the event vehicle, FTSU guardian, and leaders will attend each ED to talk with NWAS staff about sexual safety, improving culture, and promote speaking up. There's a lot of planning going on 👌

@h3l3na97 @RossM_2003 Defibrillators often increase joules for the first 3 shocks, 200, 300, 360... And the likelihood of reverting VF is highest at the point of arrest, then decreasing over time. Without stacked shocks, a 4-minute wait exists before 360j and there is also consequential chest trauma.

@RossM_2003 Definitely - it significantly improves defibrillation time and these patients are high risk of VF. From a human factors perspective, it keeps the clinician calm with good operating bandwidth as all they have to do is press shock 👌
