IO lines are NOT sufficient access in shock trauma patients. Blood products are highly viscous and therefore do not flow well through bone marrow. An IO is okay to use as a temporary bridge but these patients NEED large bore venous access. I can’t emphasize this enough.

As we winter deepens some advice from an aging Emergency Doctor about how to keep going, sometimes smiling and very occasionally thriving 1, Control the controllable—health policy and funding are not your responsibility, and you do not need to feel guilty or responsible for them

Having Wes Streeting say that patients being treated in corridors ‘shames the NHS’ absolves him of responsibility. Staff are doing the best they can with limited resources. What truly is shameful is the fact that politicians have let the NHS fall so far. thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

Choosing which of patient to bring into A&E from ambulance queue is incredibly stressful: First to arrive disadvantages the sickest. Sickest first means some less sick patients wait forever. Sickest first means most reversible delayed. Most reversible first means sickest delayed.

I make no apologies for repeating myself: No-one gives a damn until it's your loved one on a trolley. Shock. Shame. Demoralised. Broken. Undignified. 300+ excess deaths a week. And we shrug. Until it's *your* loved one on a trolley. #NHSCollapse bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

"Once again, our hospitals' Emergency Departments are left carrying the can for so many other services in our community." Yes. The sump for a #NHSCollapse Thanks for your attention Clive Myrie #CrowdingKills #ResuscitateEmergencyCare Royal College of Emergency Medicine bbc.co.uk/news/videos/cv…

80% of ICU survivors face physical, cognitive & psychological challenges. 50% can’t return to work after 1 year. Early follow-up & ICU team action are key. #PICS #ICUsurvivors #CriticalCare #ICU Source: CHEST

£62 million could have funded 500 full-time nurses for 2 years in critically understaffed NHS units. Instead? It was spent on training Physician Associates and Anaesthesia Associates. Priorities…

Wow… £62 million could have funded 500 full-time nurses in diabetes & obesity care for 2 years! 😱 But we have no money… ▶️for registered nurses ▶️to fund appropriate obesity services ▶️to fund diabetes psychology services ▶️to pay nurses appropriately ▶️to fund RN training

The trust told staff in a message that it was limiting the use of registered nurses on the bank in certain areas of its hospitals, and nurses wanting to work bank shifts in these areas could pick them up at band 3 level instead. rcni.com/nursing-standa…

I’d love to provide better care to patients Virtually impossible when primary care decimated, mental health care decimated, social care decimated Fewer hospital beds, doctors, nurses, scanners than any comparable OECD nation.

Looks like Wes Streeting, Kier Starmer & the whole DHSC media spin team are bang to rights here by JVT. Currently no super flu & no NHS wide crisis. A lot of apologies needed from those players and the media in general. As we’ve said, even if it became a problem we’d use
