Should HAVL Be Used “Universally”?
At Greater Sydney Area HEMS, we carry a hyper-angulated (D-blade) option for our C-MAC video laryngoscope, but in our inter-hospital equipment bag. This means that it is not necessarily immediately…

Which has real world implications for military, austere and operational EMS environments.

Can’t wait to dive into this. It’ll be very interesting to see the guidance as someone who works in quality and patient safety in community healthcare. Maybe particularly interesting as #paramedicine expands into roles such as primary care, community paramedicine and beyond! #FOAMems #paramedic

This! Want to improve service outcomes, patient and paramedic safety, and job satisfaction? Paramedics need protected time for quality training and education. Whether that’s on shift or off (with appropriate remuneration), it’s an imperative.

I often wonder where paramedics find time for quality training in systems where there is no "down time", either because of case load, or spending most of their shifts ramped at the ED
Perpetually firefighting in the ED leaves no time for quality training and negatively affects the quality of care delivered. Firefighters are given room to rest & train in order to respond effectively to complex emergencies. EM staff deserve the same
