When you ask yourself the question 'how do I change my workplace culture?'...
...also ask yourself why you feel loyal to an institution responsible for sustaining structures that are contributing to your suffering by trying to 'save' it?

EROCA Trial now @AnnalsofEM bit.ly/3aq4EkX. What a humbling experience that emphasized ECPR system of care. We need to improve accuracy of predicting 911 call to ED arrival, optimize patient selection & reduce ED arrival to ECPR. @nih_nhlbi @umichmedicine @DYannopoulos

“Many are cautious about giving fluids to ESRD patients. Reanalyzing PROCESS trial enrollees, unlike non‐ESRD patients, ESRD ones did not have worse outcomes with >30 mL/kg in the first 6 hours. Resuscitating ESRD patients per sepsis fluid guidelines appears to be safe.”

So...rich people can just turn off the stock market whenever someone else starts winning it?
Great conversation and collaboration with all the other EMS fellows and EMS leaders in the state of Michigan during the quarterly Statewide EMS fellowship Journal Club enhancing the @UMichEMS education!

It's been just over 2 months since @GovWhitmer launched the Pause to Save Lives. Let's look at how things are going. Thread:

Mayor Pete @PeteButtigieg: While focusing on America's infrastructure please assign someone to look at taking EMS out from under NHTSA. Our nation's EMTs and paramedics can be part of the solution. But not like this.

Not what I'd expect..but this is the data:
Ketamine use for RSI associated w/ inc in post-intubation hypotension and increased desats.
Could the reason for choosing one med over another be a confounder? Or is this a catecholamine-depleted population? @DaveOlvera1?
#NAEMSP2021
Lots to unpack here... @UMichEMS we will need to discuss this! Thanks @naemsp for the robust research presentations at #NAEMSP2021
Research Oral Abstracts Session 2!
1) Is there a difference in treatment of males and females in OOHCA?
Males w/⬆️ survival-to-hospital discharge, survival-to-ED arrival, shocks delivered, & epi use. Females w/⬆️time to CPR, 1st shock, 1st ROSC, & CPR duration.

Feedback shouldn't be optional. Meaning, it should be a feature of our electronic health records (not a high dollar add on that hospitals get to decline). Appropriate, respectful, and helpful real-time feedback is welcome by most paramedics (which is different from a tantrum).
To go along with other recent threads, EMS providers need feedback from the hospital. This study showed few actually get it but almost all of them want it.
