In the PARAMEDIC-3 trial involving adults with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, an intraosseous-first strategy for vascular access did not result in a higher incidence of 30-day survival than an intravenous-first strategy. Full trial results: nej.md/48uYv4A #RESUS24

The PARAMEDIC-3 trial results are out! nejm.org/doi/full/10.10… Thank you to ERC - European Resuscitation Council for the opportunity to present. The trial reflects the generosity of patients that participated and the phenomenal work of UK ambulance services. More plans coming for more presentations.

🤩 Great to hear that Aintree have already accepted their first SPEEDY admission. Thank you team NWAS for making the call 📞 🚑 🙏🏻

🤩 We’re past the 600 call milestone now for SPEEDY. Each call may lead to direct admission for thrombectomy. Many thanks to all the 🚑 and 🏥 colleagues creating evidence to improve NHS stroke triage👏 👏

Speedy is ongoing, with 5 ambulance services testing direct admission to 8 specialist thrombectomy centres SPEEDY tests clinical discussion to identify patients with large vessel occlusion stroke - but how else could we find these patients? Join: events.teams.microsoft.com/event/7dee2dd5…
