Here are some tips on doing Resus well. It's taken from a handout from an ED education evening in November 2019, but still applies The main goal was to empower the whole team to own resus and feel empowered to speak up and drive quality and safety

“Lactate is an important molecule with complex biological functions it is not a simple marker of hypoxia or waste product of metabolism Elevated lactate levels indicate a metabolic imbalance between production, consumption and cellular transport” Nice work @MDMarikar et al 👏🏻

Here's our Quick Reference Guide for the Sengstaken-Blakemore Tube, made by Dr Pete Lawrance and @DocTomEvens
Cognitive aids work when you're 'nudged' to use them. Having our Quick Reference Guide for the Sengstaken-Blakemore Tube attached to the device means it's right there when you need to do balloon tamponade in variceal haemorrhage (tested in action and grateful to have it)

We had a great time in @TheLongHallPub on Tuesday for the release of their @dingledistillery Founding Fathers whiskey. A beautiful bottling of Single Pot Still matured in Bourbon Casks, released to mark the Houlihan family's 50th year as custodians of The Long Hall 🥃

Has anyone seen Michael O'Leary (21)? He is missing from his home in Dollymount since last night. Michael has mild learning difficulties and may be confused. This is out of character for Michael. If anyone has any information please contact Gardai at Clontarf on 666 4800

I'm an ER doctor and Spotify subscriber. I listened to Rogan talk with Dr. Robert Malone for 3 hours to hear the controversy myself, and also watched Rogan's IG response. Rogan says he's interested in "finding out what the truth is." I'm not so sure. Long review/thread: 🧵⬇️
