Congratulations to the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) on their incredible new video, which explains why you should measure performance to improve. Behind every statistic is a potential survivor! #SystemsSaveLives #NAEMSP2022 #FOAMed youtu.be/XDzdaLDOwDo

Rise and rise again! Happy #EMSWeek to my fellow clinicians.

In episode 8 of our series, Voices of CPR, Tom Rea, M.D. from Seattle /King County ResuscitationAcademy discusses the importance of joining a Cardiac Arrest Registry and measuring performance to find opportunities for improvement in care. #SystemsSaveLives #VoicesOfCPR #CPR #RQI

As we continue to celebrate #EMSWeek we wanted to share an inspiring story of how BEST EMS in Texas took the journey to resuscitation quality improvement and hosted their first ResuscitationAcademy event. #CPRSavesLives #RQI #T-CPR #EMSWeek2022 ow.ly/vzVL50Je9Y4

I often turn to my favorite authors in times of turmoil. With the world where it is, I find myself in their words often. Searching for lessons. This one felt especially important:

On Tuesday (5/31) I have invited Lt. Ryan Woodard of Oklahoma City Fire to present on National Autistic Society care in EMS. His personal attachment to this topic makes his message that much more impactful. Join us Tuesday 11AM EST on Microsoft Teams: bit.ly/3nrwUtk. autism speaks NAEMSP FAEMSMD

The slope of death means that for every minute without intervention, a cardiac arrest patient's chance of surviving decreases by about 10%. High-performing systems alter the slope, giving patients a 50% chance of survival. Thanks Tom Bouthillet for a GIF to explain this concept.

Another excellent virtual HP-CPR Train the Trainer event is done. Thank you to the team in Saudi Arabia for your strong work.

Just Tom Bouthillet taking us to church on the importance of high performance CPR. First There First Care #floridaresuscitationacademy

Had a fantastic young man come by and do CPR on our infant manikin. The most touching part was that he was an infant cardiac arrest survivor. First There First Care #cprsaveslives #infantcardiacarrest

I'm a little jealous I couldn't be there! I am sure this was the most epic of trainings. Tom Bouthillet Michael D. Herbert ResuscitationAcademy Cumberland Goodwill

Our very own David LaCombe presenting with his team his solution to our EMS Sharks. #emssharks #sharktank #pinnacle

Annie, are you ok? Are you ok Annie? We are talking with systems about improving resuscitation competence. Improvement is possible and we can help. #PinnacleEMS

Thank you ISP Trooper Flaherty 93 for your quick thinking at an OHCA. Early CPR & AED improves OHCA survival. You have done your part in Snatching Life from the Jaws of Death. Thanks to ISP Trooper Flaherty 93 and other bikers who started CPR, a #RAGBRAI rider lives to bike another day.

I couldn’t attend National Association of EMS Educators and really regretted not being able to hear David Fifer keynote address. But thanks to Prodigy EMS and @medicmindset its available to me. This is just awesome! Thank you!

Research indicates that a low dose, high frequency training methodology will increase skills retention. It is time to refocus and shift how we train in medicine. lnkd.in/dN3ccb4R #research #cprtraining #cardiacarrest
