Pre-hospital critical care and outcomes in head injury.

It may seem obvious that early interventions save lives/change outcomes, but relatively little evidence in this group.

A wee paper just out in the EMJ

Bottom line: Association between PHCC and reduced mortality.

Geographic isolation, rurality and outcomes following critical illness.

🧑‍🤝‍🧑 >50,000 first admissions to critical care
🪦 No significant mortality differences
🏥 24% fewer admissions for the most isolated

Just out at Journal of the Intensive Care Society

Association between socioeconomic status and mortality from emergency admission to critical care in Scotland 2010-2011.

Grim findings, that come as little surprise. Most deprived significantly more likely to die, and to be readmitted.

Finally in print at the European Journal of Emergency Medicine. Social support from the ED, and changes in healthcare use.

Just published at the Air Medical Journal.

Clinical tasking in pre-hospital critical care, and suggestion of benefits in terms of tasking numbers and call times.

A little more evidence in a relatively sparse, important field.

Looking forward to next week's @mavscotland.bsky.social conference - amongst a great lineup, we'll be talking about recent work evaluating Navigator in the ED, and how it matters to patients and a system in crisis.

Some last-minute tickets available www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/violence-p...

Providing support for people who turn to emergency care in times of crisis feels like the right thing to do. But we still know little about how it impacts people and health systems.

And even beyond low acuity, input is not a significant factor. Scottish national data shows no association between presentation rates and ED delays.

But it will take more than data to kill the myth of demand management...
