Post-ROSC #epinephrine was not assoc. with โฌ๏ธ odds of prehospital #rearrest compared to #norepinephrine in a 'target trial emulation' study (n=1,893; aOR: 0.93 [0.72, 1.21]). We addressed limitations of prior studies, including drug/rearrest temporality. https://t.co/mmepropvjV

The myth that will not die (hint: prevalence = 0) 1. Treat dangerous hypoglycemia immediately. Do not wait for thiamine or anything else. 2. Have a low threshold to treat patients at risk for Wernicke's with IV thiamine. https://t.co/ov1LYjU370

Finally, self-guided robotic intubation. I guess we'll have to figure out something to do with all these airway skills we've accumulated. https://t.co/yVXzGR9aEi

Delays to chest compressions and defibrillation are common following prehospital rearrest. Among pts. with a rearrest rhythm of VF, the median delay from the first second of VF on ECG to defib. was 67s (IQR 29, 245), and 3 (20%) were not defibrillated. https://t.co/xqb6JEIP21

Seize the opportunity! #SGEMPeds returns this week with the Ket-Mid Study with guest skeptic, Dr. Jim Chamberlain. Should ketamine be part of the first-line treatment for pediatric seizures? https://t.co/WhTuh1wQWi

Ketamine-midazolam combination may be more effective than midazolam alone for the initial treatment of pediatric GCSE, but this should be confirmed in future research.

Nothing better than closing in on the finish line of a major trial! Super work by @Peel_Paramedics @HaltonMedics @TorontoMedics @YorkParamedics. Without our amazing paramedics none of this critical research could ever happen! Kudos to the best.
๐จMilestone alert! PITSTOP trial enrollment has hit 2025 patients - so close to our target of 2040!๐ฏ Completion expected within the next month! @YorkParamedics 140 @peelparamedics 855 @HaltonMedics207 291 @TorontoMedics 739 THANK YOU PARAMEDICS! #InternationalParamedicsDay

When facial surgeons review CT scans they can correctly identify patients that require transfer, utilizing a similar system would decrease transfers by more than 50%. https://t.co/DU8xbi4oxW
