Does anyone know if a PEEP valve was used with the BVM and how much oxygen flow they were using for all the devices in the Groombridge trial? @emcrit

@CapitalOne Your reward point system is a scam. Anytime I want to plan a trip through Capital One Travel your prices for everything are always higher to much higher than other services like Expedia etc… 1/2.
This fucks customers if we want to use our reward points to plan a trip. It significantly devalues our reward points. Also, spending on your CC doesn’t benefit us a whole lot. I have 56k points which only gives me < $600 in $$$. You’re a multi hundred billion $$$ company.
What is going on with TBS2025 this year? There is no social media or live feed on the talks that are happening.
How are we able to watch the TBS25 talks each day? Is there a live stream? @TBS_Zermatt @airzermatt
Hospital question… If you get a STEMI patient in the ER, are you starting anti-coagulation, anti-platelet or thrombolytic therapies before you get CT scans to make sure coronary or aortic dissections aren’t present? @smithECGBlog @amalmattu
I think this study is too old but do we know what size BVMs were used in this study? Adult or peds? @smithECGBlog @DitchDoc14

Can we please acknowledge the facts behind using pediatric BVMs for our adult patients? Especially those that are not small females and even more so in patients with SGAs in place. 1/2
@ACEPNow Can you please get with ACS CoT and convince them to had over ATLS to you all and make it more practical, up to date, evidence based or best practice and allow the clinicians (paramedics) who make the most difference in patient care to obtain credentials from the course?
Why is TCCC still teaching chest seals on every hole in the chest in the prehospital arena. The true sucking chest would is very much a unicorn and very rare, but covering these holes with dressings and chest tubes usually cause problems. IME it easily makes things worse. 1/2
2/2… If the chest has a hole, leave it uncovered. Yes even your finger thoracostomies. Those 1 way “valved” dressings rarely if ever, work. In the PH realm covering holes and CTs don’t change outcomes. They do cause problems though. @FOAMfrat @SydneyHEMS @fisherad1
Is there an actual objective qualification/definition for the minimum flow rate for flush rate oxygen? @emcrit @jducanto @NicholasChrimes
Not my Pt… 28 yo M… Syncope after long hike at altitude. Nit witnessed. BP, temp and glucose good. Thoughts? I see SR, HR 80, no blocks, PR depression in some leads. ST ⬆️ in Ant chest leads, ST⬇️ lead III, broad t-waves.
@EcgOxford Maybe, BER due to ST segment shape in chest leads. Maybe right atrial stuff.🤷♂️
