Had a case recently that once again reminded me of this: I don’t understand (truly) how you can do high-level critical care transport without POC lab capability. I certainly never want to be without it. #EMSsky #ResusSky #HEMS

If you're flight program is using RIC catheters in your trauma patients can you reach out? I'm trying to find some best practices and see what other people are doing as I try to get them rolled out.

Two points: 1: Give me an A-line in your critically ill patient and I’ll be the happiest lil flight medic there ever were 2. Notice that for the same MAP, oscillometric NIBP has ~30mmHg discordance in systolic when compared with invasive. #EMSsky #resussky #emimcc

We’ve discussed that ETCO2 nasal cannulas provide something more like blow compared to a true NC. The max flow rate was thought to be 5-6 LPM using a ETCO2 NC. Testing on a Hamilton T-1 in high flow mode showed I could only push ~4 LPM through the ETCO2 NC. 🚨 Consider this for PreOx and ApOx!

Coming home from PAC25 so grateful to teach and learn with some of the best nerds I know. If you manage airways and want to get better, consider coming and checking it out next year. It really is the best airway event in the universe: theprotectedairway.com

Unfortunately high standards are subject to the forces of entropy. Without energy input you can’t maintain them. Plan for it or watch standards slip.

Have you noticed the thing where when you first open up something like NYT’s Connections it feels impossible but when you come back an hour later it’s so simple? That’s how our brains work with all sorts of problems. Often you don’t need a solution this instant. Let it marinate—it’s way better

The problem with H/H is the pKa is not always 6.1 and can go up or down (a little) depending on lipids, temp, and pH.

If you ever wonder if people generally are rational, just watch how everyone lines up at a double left turn lane. One lane will have three light-cycles worth of cars lined up and the other lane will be empty

What you learn from and in college is valuable all on its own, AND it makes you better in the trades. I went to paramedic school after getting my BA, and being able to think expansively and critically about EMS and its social role has shaped my entire adult life.

Someone asked me recently how, after being in EMS for 12 years I am not crispy, how I kept the important parts of myself. I’ve been thinking a lot about it. The best that I’ve come up with is that while everyone will tell you to be harder, the key to surviving is keeping your softness. #EMSsky

On my morning peloton ride and the instructor said something great for new #emimcc trainees/providers: "Be good. But if you can't be good, be careful." This is how inexperienced folks should be approaching high risk clinical practice: aspire for mastery, but be cautious in moments of inexperience.
