Hospital-level volume in #ECMO cases? 🔎 > 1.2 patients in 🇦🇺 & 🇳🇿 ⚖️ no difference in six-month death or new disability between high (>30 cases) & low-volume ECMO centres in VV, VA, #ECPR This finding is possibly due to current model of coordinated care including patient

Dr. Henry is one of the more inspiring icons that I have always appreciated and respected. What a legend indeed.

Hysterical! There are several great ER doctors here on X. All of them have fantastic senses of humor.

Great example of why TEE is so important in cardiac arrest. CPR likely completely unhelpful in close to 50-60% of patients.

One of those ECGs you need to instantly recognize, which learners may struggle with at first hqmeded-ecg.blogspot.com/2025/01/one-of… Pendell Meyers

Very grateful to @alimkakeng Dr. Gaddis and the whole ACEP_Research team. Can’t recommend ACEP Research Academy enough. Supportive faculty, very inspiring conversations, wonderful networking opportunities…I think the future of EM research is bright. @ACEPNow Emergency Medicine Foundation

54% of patients in shock had a change of management due to an ECHO performed. POCUS in the ED for shock isn’t an option anymore. It must be a standard evaluation. Great study by Flowers et al.

Median time from injury to TCA (tamponade) 11 mins, but there is a window to intervene in this system (on scene 20 mins post injury). Survival 52% (tamponade) if RT at point of TCA or within 1 minute!… not a treatment for exsanguination in this cohort jamanetwork.com/journals/jamas…

Incorporation of prehospital TOE in cardiac arrest resuscitation is feasible. Identifying the area of maximal compression early in the resuscitation may improve OHCA outcome and aid in the ECPR decision making tree. Larger trials are needed #resuscitation #OHCA #ECPR #prehospital

🚨New study of pre-hospital #TEE in cardiac arrest. ~90% of CPR pre-TEE was in the wrong place! (not over the LV) Study Overview: Retrospective. OHCA. Performed by specialist MDs in Australia. N = 19 (small). Results: 1) Changed management or confirmed diagnosis in 17/19 2)

TEE in Cardiac Arrest in the prehospital world. It is feasible. It will save lives.

This needs to happen!
