Huge thanks to Tim Nutbeam and Rob Fenwick for the kind invite to attend The EXIT Project consensus day today. The work they have done will quite simply inform the biggest changes to road traffic collision management and ensure better patient outcomes. It’s significance is huge👏

From what we saw today, I think it can! Moreover I think we can simplify extrication to the point where very little “special language” is needed at all. Thanks to Tim Nutbeam for an excellent day. Great to catch up with Ian Dunbar OBE too!

Excellent pearls and pitfalls on ketamine sedation in this thread. Highly recommended, no matter how experienced!
