Respect to Charles Barley!
If you never been pay off the haul line, you've never been on the end of a rope rescue☕
The original sound says it. Another multiplier course with different fire departments. Today the focus was on the topic of terrain rescue. The first exercises in medium terrain, later much steeper with an interruption by a rock face. Post on this follows. #fire brigade #professional fire brigade #volunteer fire brigade #rescue service #thw #fall protection #simple rescue from heights and depths #extinguishing water #knotfreeforall #knotfree

Der O-Ton sagt es. Wieder ein Multiplikator Lehrgang mit verschiedenen Feuerwehren. Heute stand das Thema Geländerettung im Fokus. Die ersten Übungen im mittleren Gelände, später deutlich steiler mit Unterbrechung durch eine Felswand. Beitrag hierzu folgt.

And I'm teaching you how to save a choking person 🥹 Pay attention to these absurd challenges. Unless you are a fakir accustomed to extreme challenges and deep throats, avoid venturing into this type of practice. Not only is it risky, but it can really be dangerous! 🚫🙏 #Caution #First Aid #firefighter #save #uniform #humor

With the rescue from ships she oil rigs this post is informative due to the risk involved. The same for the canyons in Namibia.
Thank you @pracmed_nz for this post.

Let’s talk about #spinalinjury
🩸
A topic that is debated, but should be discussed and simplified for those at the point of injury in the first moments to avoid indecision and ultimately risking a patients outcomes - be it additional injury and of course the potential for death.
🩸
When a patient suffers a #spinalinjury from a fall, impact or penetrating trauma in my limited and humble experience, unless they are unconscious they’ll tell you or give strong indicators. At this point they have an airway and this must be maintained.
🩸
If they’re not verbalising or indicating, I.e. unconscious, the airway should be an immediate after any massive bleeding.
🩸
The myth around not moving a patient to gain an airway because as the shrieking idiots will double down on with regard to “killing your patient” has got to stop.
🩸
And that’s backed by data and science as evidence…
🩸
The best available data at this time is even rolling someone from a supine (face up) position into lateral (on their side) position is on the side of moving primarily because we have an airway and secondarily no evidence supports the theory of the death or neuro deficit due to the movement (the injury has already occurred) - with that being said, the evidence is considered “weak” but is still the best available.
🩸
In short there’s not one single verified anecdote to support the claim of harming a patient additionally.
🩸
Not one.
🩸
So in short, stick to the 4 B’s (Bleeding, Breathing, Burns, Breaks) and consider a spinal injury a “Break” in the priority of management.
☕
I'll chuck another "B" in, "Brain", for #TBI.
🩸
As with any fracture we want to avoid
Knowledge and education are the best ways to foster societal/communal "saamewerking" working together instead of against each other during emergencies.
Here is what the public and other EMS system need to understand.

🎥🧯 From the front lines: Battling the blaze!
Dr Haney Mallemat, @criticalcarenow, throws some light on automated BP cuffs.
Is the BP real?
Welcome to day 7 of CritBits and we're talking about the limitations of automatic blood pressure cuffs used in hospitals. These devices primarily estimate Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) and use proprietary algorithms to derive systolic and diastolic pressures, which can be less reliable. This is different than arterial lines that directly measure systolic and diastolic pressures to calculate MAP.
Do you trust the MAP?
Do you know the only trusted, accurate, blood pressure cuff is those that still use mercury as is a constant unaffected by pressures. Mercury = Hg, measurements in elevation reading per millimeter on the scale.

IV hacks and Tips from @nurse_practice_
Bubble hack! With bubbles closer to the IV bag, just push them back up! With hubble closer to the end of the tubing, use a syringe to pull out the air
