Timely reperfusion is important. Method (PCI Vs Lysis) less important. We don’t all have a cath lab. Nice to have the option to phone a friend - STEMI hotline. Thanks Michael Fryer, Kath Woolfield Claire Merry, Thusan Malawana, Eleanor Kittcat #qldas23

Tips. Pericardiocentesis for tamponade. If you don’t they will die. Drain enough to preserve hemodynamics. If ectopy you’re in too far- pull back. If you hit the liver it’s a problem for later when the drain comes out. If you hit a coronary artery that is a problem #qldas23

600 Aust children a year suffer stroke. Av 22.5 hours to diagnose. Too long. Rapid MRI/MRA takes 8 mins. CT perfusion can’t be done in children. See upcoming CHQ statewide guideline re paediatric code stroke. Call QCH paeds neurologist to discuss. Thanks Dr Nat & Jack #qldas23

Newer T2DM meds. ‘gliflozins SGLT2 inhibitors also good for CCF, CKD. Increased risk of genital infection & Euglycemic DKA. Sick day plan - omit them. Educate please. GLP1RAs ‘glutides work for T2DM & weight reduction. Slows the gut & gives gallstones Dr Ben Sly #qldas23

Beautiful people of Australia. We have a chance. In all this screwed up toughness of today, in all this fearful future, in all this less than stellar past, we get to have a brief moment to say yes. It’s not too much, just yes to our first people, to a shared voice. #Yes23

Sepsis is the leading cause of preventable death in children, with kids aged under 5 at a greater risk. It can be difficult to diagnose but early diagnosis & treatment is key. If you're concerned, trust your gut & ask 'Could it be sepsis?'. More info 👉 bit.ly/chqsepsis

"The strategy required to find a great opportunity (lots of saying yes and exploring widely) is different from the strategy required to make the most of a great opportunity (lots of saying no and remaining focused)." -James Clear
