@glauncel @AirwayMxAcademy In fairness, other than knowing that the bag is pinched between the arm and side of the chest, I must confess to never having played bagpipes in my life 😬

And also obviously, having an additional pair of hands 🙌 would be far more advantageous in such situations, including not having to act as your own camera person 🎥

The amazing @dastrainees are back doing it again! #JanuAIRWAY2024 One of my annual favourite #FOAMed resources 👍
Welcome to #JanuAIRWAY2024. Every weekday we'll be bringing you Airway #FOAMed. Starting off with management of transgender airway -here's a #OnePager. It's a huge topic going beyond just the airway. Thanks to Drs @LukeFlower1 @drkamillak & Alice Humphreys for all their help! 1/7

@HolmesMagazine They are all brilliant, but for me The Problem of Thor Bridge was one episode I particularly enjoyed. The seemingly impossible puzzle to be solved, and the answer so…elementary.

@PharmWyze Aspirin. I’m curious your thoughts on appropriate dose (EMS guidelines vary anywhere from 150-325 mg PO), and also what is appropriate if patient is already taking daily aspirin as part of concurrent anticoagulant therapies?

@EMManchester @SydneyHEMS @KSSHEMS_Academy @_NMay @HawkmoonHEMS @cliffreid @bhanders Lucky enough to have a/c on AW139 at an undisclosed desert 🐪🌴location. All mitigation measures mentioned above work to some degree but if it’s causing heat stress to crew, imagine what it’s doing to the patient’s physiology? Temperature monitoring for the patient is essential.

@puckthepilot I just love that the dying act of the pole is to take its revenge in the end. Like a modern day Shakespearean tragedy.
