Just realised it is 15 years since "Acute Traumatic Coagulopathy" was published, with these (horrible) graphs. Still amazed by how much this has changed what we do, and how many lives have been saved since we started prioritizing haemostasis over perfusion.

Two great services and a fab balance of trauma, medicine, physician response unit, urban, rural, penetrating, blunt, education, innovation, governance, opportunities to undertake long-term followup of patients, and now more opportunities for research too.

Jonathan Begley Nicholas Chrimes MJA David Brewster Chris Nickson @precordialthump.bsky.social @DrGivasHit Jon Gatward Chris Groombridge 1/2 Biggest 2 changes: 1) guidance on NIV for resp failure in COVID 19 pts (initially we recommended not to use, now support use in selected pts). In an ever changing landscape, NIV is being used around the world with some success. It’s still an AGP with implications for PPE.

Experience round the world suggests a significant incidence of profound desat on induction. 2-person BMV, vice grip, gentle squeeze, watch ETCO2 trace..

An ED airway QI program including introduction of a checklist and monthly registry review improved first pass success rates. Now only one in twenty intubations in their ED requires a second look. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32554746/ Sound work from Chris Groombridge and team

‘Look I have absolutely no idea. Can I do some reading and talk to my boss and come and find you?’ ICU resident: That is an amazing response. I don’t even know what the disease is. I’ll read too. (Protip: You’re allowed to not know the answers, but you’re not allowed to lie)
