#WhiteboardWednesday - Ectopic pregnancy. A leading cause of mortality in pregnancy, EP is a can’t miss differential diagnosis for all paramedics
#WhiteboardWednesday - Care of the Ramped Patient
#WhiteboardWednesday - Alcohol Intoxication. To support the public intoxication reforms recently commenced in Victoria, this guideline provides advice to paramedics around risk assessment, treatment and referral/transport advice for patients experiencing alcohol intoxication
#WhiteboardWednesday - Mental Health Assessment
#WhiteboardWednesday - Occlusive Myocardial Infarction. Inspired by the @AmbulanceVic Clinical Conversations pod and @LITFLblog Killer ECGs
#WhiteboardWednesday - Malignant Hyperthermia. A rare but critical reaction in susceptible people to volatile anaesthetic agents (like Methoxyflurane) and Suxamethonium. Never seen it, never hope to see it, but it does happen. Be aware!
#WhiteboardWednesday - Posterior Circulation Stroke. Making up ~25% of strokes, presents a challenge to paramedic diagnosis, being missed 3x more often than anterior strokes. Many different assessments help but first we need to consider the possibility of PCS. #paramedic #stroke
New skills video - Nasal ETCO2 part 1 and 2. Check them out on @ParamedicBasics Insta via this link - shorturl.at/oCIKZ #paramedicbasics #etco2 #paramedic #ems #critcare
#WhiteboardWednesday - revisiting burns!
#WhiteboardWednesday - Adrenal Insufficiency. A nice new guideline from the team at @AmbulanceVic which introduces hydrocortisone. Check out the full CPG for more info!
#WhiteboardWednesday - Antepartum Haemorrhage. Based off @AmbulanceVic and @SaferCareVic guidelines
#WhiteboardWednesday - Acute Behavioural Disturbance (new CPG). Introduces Droperidol to @AmbulanceVic practice and focuses on de-escalation and post-sedation care. Another great tool for paramedics to utilize. Listen to the experts discuss it here: spoti.fi/3BUa9rv
#WhiteboardWednesday - Basic VBG interpretation. With increased ramping during the pandemic, paramedics are getting more involved in hospital-based care. VBG is a quick, easy point of care blood test which can greatly contribute to triage and ongoing monitoring
#WhiteboardWednesday - Palliative Care. Not routinely thought of for paramedics, this guideline aims to provide comfort and relief from symptoms for palliative care patients. It enables them to remain at home whilst waiting specialist review. Great CPG by @AmbulanceVic
Transient Loss of Consciousness - more than ‘just’ a vasovagal? bit.ly/3zguoyo #paramedic
#WhiteboardWednesday - Normal Birth. A natural process but daunting nonetheless. Here is a brief overview for paramedics
“I’ll get the details” - often mentioned but rarely taught! A post aimed at students and surge workers to de-mistify this skill - check it out at paramedicbasics.com.au/2022/05/ill-ge… #paramedicbasics #paramedic #student #ems #skills
