Does first-pass success matter as an intubation outcome metric?
This study by April et al says yes.
Summary: When compared to FPS, every additional intubation attempt confers increased odds of a major adverse event.
2 attempts = aOR 4.3
3 attempts = aOR 7.4
4 attempts = aOR 13.9
5+ attempts = aOR 9.3
-Major events defined as esophageal intubation, bradycardia, cardiac arrest, hypotension, hypoxia, laryngospasm, pneumothorax, tachydysrhythmia
-15,079 patients analyzed
-89% FPS, 8% 2nd attempt, 2% 3rd attempt, <1% 4th attempt, <1% 5th attempt

What do these two have in common? @FatamboGary highlights that both have a similar blood volume. Be very aware of that. Small amount of blood can be a lot for a paed. Bring soaked dressings to hospital for weighing. #PARAPEM20

Dr @alaanibrahim (#PEM Director of Training) opened #PARAPEM20 this morning and is now finishing off by explaining paediatric rash recognition. Teaching #paramedics about skin rash classifications; what is a dangerous rash?

Dr Dan Bodnar reminds us, “cool the burn, warm the patient”.
Large study showed cooling burn for over 20 mins under cold water reduces:
- rates of skin grafts,
- thickness of burn,
- hospital admissions and
- operating room interventions.
