ED care for frail patients needs to be multi-layered. SDEC success in providing a layer of the cake.

I see the main issue is the length of time added to training. ACL posts counted as 50% so higher training time is doubled. 3 years HST becomes 6 years. Add in a 3y PhD and the pathway looks very unattractive. Continuing academic path after ACF = 9years more as a trainee. Royal College of Emergency Medicine

This was a VERY interesting article to put together - included different perspectives of academics from psychology, law, medicine and history. End of life planning is complex - current use of the ReSPECT form does not live up to its creators’ intentions. pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11…

Liked the content, but there is no such thing as a “retrospective cohort study”. A cohort study takes two groups, one exposed to a risk factor and one not, and follows them through time to compare incidence of target disease. So a cohort study cannot be retrospective.

I used TCD in the 1990s working in neurosurgery as a surrogate for ICP as the waveform changes with ICP. It’s a tricky technique that is operator dependent, so maybe not for general use. Definitely worth more research to see if there is a place, but not yet prime time.

Well done Alanoud! Barriers to the implementation of prehospital paediatric severity scores is such a great topic for research.

My take is that the ‘Prevention of Future Deaths’ report reveals more about the inadequacies of the coronial system than the practice of anaesthesia. The desire for a binary right / wrong for every stage in care (encapsulated in “national guidance”) is profoundly ignorant.

Excellent article!

Nice study. Raised trop is common in middle aged athletes, but not an indicator of cardiovascular disease. Maybe conclusion would be different in those who become unwell enough to be brought to the ED.

When I joined the TA in 1988 the philosophy was that movement of large numbers of casualties back home from a war in Europe was yesterday’s problem. With war in Europe again a terrible reality I will be interested in Col Robertson’s views on lessons for the future.

Have signed this petition. CPR + AED training in schools, colleges and universities is essential.

Not sure that “miracle” is quite correct here BBC News (UK) . Chain of survival works - but the real news story here is too often there are missing links. Needs: - annual CPR / AED training in every workplace and school. - better availability of AEDs. British Heart Foundation bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
