Use of Intralipid in a Propranolol/Quetiapine induced cardiac arrest - our poster today at #SOA25

Evidence for lipid rescue is (and will likely remain) limited, but it really was an inspiring and uplifting case to have been a part of - ROSC after 76 mins CPR and an excellent neurological outcome.

As excited as I am to see The Bleep Test released on Audible on Tuesday, not too sure about their similar authors algorithm 😂😂

Great to talk to the final year students @uofglasgow.bsky.social medical school today about working night shifts and recognising the peri-arrest patient;

Any patient with actual or impending organ failure, not rapidly reversible with the people / knowledge / kit currently present

"A remarkable book. Luke Austen writes beautifully, sharing real-life stories to illustrate many of the key issues that will face doctors throughout their careers. His wisdom and compassion come shining through. Highly recommended."
