Hoping one day this will no longer be acceptable. Our children deserve better
Nice. Such a common intervention. Complications so common we accept them as inevitable

Watch this space. Over the next couple of years we hope to improve PIVC outcomes for paediatrics
Peripheral IVs should be easy to insert, but >50% of the time in pediatrics they aren't. 🔹 US guidance (#POCUS) ⬆️ 1st insertion success 🔹 Near infrared ⬇️ PIVC insertion time But other techniques & technologies need more research. https://t.co/8pKVYkMMSP

Time to consider ECG-guided PICC placement as an alternative to traditional x-ray tip confirmation for some of our sickest patients at greatest risk of thrombosis in our own healthcare facility #reducingpatientharm
Who's using ECG-guided PICC placement in Australia? In this paper we showed improved precision in PICC tip placement = reduced thrombosis Makes sense, doesn't it? @TriciaVAMS @AVATAR_grp @vineet_chopra @GriffithNursing

EKG guided tip positioning for #PICCs: faster, more convenient and associated with less #VTE than traditional #XRay guided tip verification. Our analysis of 42,687 patients (led by @AVATAR_grp) is out. #ptsafety #foamva #picc #vascularaccess

And if you’re lucky enough to have this guy as a co-author you are streets ahead!! The same kind of care and mentorship offered. Privileged to have learnt so much from @vineet_chopra @a_ullman @Claire_AVATAR @jess_schults @S2Keogh @AVATAR_grp and many more
I’ve had the privilege of reviewing many papers over the years. I’ve also been on the receiving end of reviews. The difference in the quality of feedback is often striking. So here are some of my suggestions on how to review manuscripts effectively (thread):

The hard work has been done. It is now up to us as clinicians @childhealthqld to implement this into our practice to improve patient outcomes.
To read more about #miniMAGIC, how it was developed, & how to you can use it - look here: https://t.co/grwbFCk0Dy We will be releasing the miniMAGIC app via usual outlets (& this website) very soon @AVATAR_grp @vineet_chopra @Claire_AVATAR @ISaveThatLine

The ultimate example of clinicians and academics working together to achieve a common goal - optimal vascular access for our most vulnerable patients #miniMAGIC @a_ullman @vineet_chopra @Claire_AVATAR @MLCooke2 @stephaniep76 @pedspiccnurse @AVATAR_grp @ISaveThatLine
Every child deserves the best of healthcare. Today we release #miniMAGIC to ensure every child needing vascular access receives safe and appropriate care. Read it @AmerAcadPeds
https://t.co/8bEC7tQZ6d Thx to @vineet_chopra @AVATAR_grp @ISaveThatLine @MenziesHealth & more!

PIVC insertion is the most common procedure in paed. But we've got a lot to do to ensure PIVC practices don't result in harm. Read our global snapshot of paed PIVC performance, practices & potential: https://t.co/6mfosNgbiL

A 6 yr old Oregon boy whose parents refused vaccination got the first pediatric case of tetanus in the state in 30 years. Produced lockjaw requiring a tracheostomy and 5 wks on a ventilator. (And the parents still won’t give him any vaccinations.)
statnews.com
The boy was 6 years old and his parents refused to vaccinate him. He developed tetanus and landed in a hospital, the start of a weeks-long, gut-wrenching medical marathon.

Do you know it only takes a matter of minutes for a child to overheat in a parked car? Even on a mild day, it can be 20 to 30 degrees hotter inside a parked car than outside. With hot Summer days upon us NEVER leave your kids in the car. Not even for a short time. #QldHeat
