🚨 Webinar alert!🚨

Come and join me for this exciting #CPDme webinar “Extracorporeal Life Support - From the operating theatre to the streets”
I’ll be taking a deep dive into ECLS from it’s beginnings in cardiac surgery, to contemporary applications in PHEM, EM and trauma www.cpdme.com/webinar

Great day teaching on the Prehospital Medicine iBSc “Special Circumstances” practical day up on the 🚁 pad at London’s Air Ambulance. Fantastic engagement from students and faculty as we tackled resuscitative ECMO and simulated special circumstances in resuscitation! #ECMO #ECPR #Cardiacarrest #CPR

LV energetics in pts on #ECPR achieving ROSC
🫀invasive left heart catheterization + 3D echocardiography
🫀high VA #ECMO flow significantly reduced LVEDP, LVEDV, LVSW vs low flow, irrespective of survival status:
🩺 6 survivors; they had higher LVEF + lower LVEDV/LVEDP at lowest EBF

Very thoughtful and nuanced post from @garethgrier1.bsky.social on the huge complexities of potentially delivering extracorporeal CPR (ECPR) across the U.K. There is much enthusiasm and pockets of excellence - but a whole system-wide change is needed. Like REBOA and RT, a HALO procedure (1/2)
faculty of prehospital care that originally brought disparate groups of largely voluntary people together. Ambulance service medical directors have a national group but often governance matters for ‘critical care doctor based stuff’ (see, even I don’t know what it’s called) is

In peripheral VA #ECMO, LV filling pressures estimation with Doppler techniques (E/A, E/é) can be challenging or unreliable due to low transmitral flow and myocardial activation resulting in several TDI peaks

A short introduction to total intravenous anaesthesia (TIVA) 🧵

TIVA is fast becoming the go-to anaesthetic technique for many, now making up to 26% of our GAs (according to NAP 7). As it is increasing in popularity, here is a little explainer for you all!

Excited to be contributing to Cambridge Trauma Futures next week! It’s still not too late to sign up and attend (online). I’ll be speaking on how we can use VA #ECMO to rescue patients with severe cardiogenic shock following severe trauma. rcem.ac.uk/events/cambr....
