If you want the results the REVERT trial had in converting SVT you need to do what the REVERT trial did. Not some rough approximation of what you think you remember the protocol was.

Happy to tell you that @BlairBigham & @cherylcookie21 are some of my favourite people! They are both speaking at Grand Rounds for @Ornge. The theme, “Defending Dignity, the intersection of end of life & critical care” is both important & under represented in medicine #FOAMed

Paramedics of all settings, I implore you, if you were sending a patient to ED please do not tell them they *will* receive an investigation/treatment or be seen by X specialist. I encounter this often and it can lead to conflict. I suspect same is true for referring back to GP.

Highly recommended reading for my prehospital care peeps.
I end up speaking to paramedic friends and collages every few months about doing medicine. Is it worth it? What’s the process like? “Should I do it?” And my answer is essentially these three things I’ve discovered and learned from others 1/ 🧵

Harm Reduction is to EMS as fire prevention is to the fire service. We’re some of the only people in medicine that get 1-on-1 time with patients even after we’re done with what we need to do. That last bit of time on the ride in is valuable, don’t let it go to waste.

Patients dying with haemodynamic collapse often exhibit typical features in terms of what they say, how they appear, and what they do They need an IMMEDIATE team approach and if you haven't already got a diagnosis then ultrasound the heart NOW
