Kids get hurt. And they get sick. Its inevitable.

We already know that nasal high-flow (NHF) apnoeic oxygenation is safe and effective in the controlled environment of elective theatre intubation and that it improves first-attempt success rates in neonates. But does it hold up in the unpredictable world of emergency paediatric intubation ?

I started this blog over 20 years ago. At the time I wrote mainly about the interesting calls I was doing. Nowadays, besides writing about the opioid epidemic, it seems I write mostly about being an old medic trying to keep up, beating back father time. This is another one of those posts. I worked a 12-hour shift last Friday. All my patients were younger than me, even the old and infirm ones ones.

Background : Paramedicine education faces challenges in aligning curricula with evolving practice. Despite updates, our study reveals minimal change since 2018, especially post-transition from the Council of Ambulance Authorities to Paramedicine Board of Australia accreditation. Updates in cultural competency and interprofessional education are noted, but primary healthcare integration remains inadequate, showing a critical gap between education and practice needs.

We often tend to spend more time on pediatric resuscitation and CPR compared to adults. However, the question remains: what is the optimal duration of resuscitation efforts in these patients before considering termination? A recent retrospective study from Japan addressed this issue and found that fewer than 1% of children achieved favorable neurological outcomes (defined as moderate disability or better at one month) when CPR exceeded 64 minutes.

As hospital boarding, increased emergency department (ED) volumes, and complexity of patients have increased, so have wait times. Some physicians now coin themselves waiting room medicine specialists as departments schedule a physician in triage or attempt to evaluate patients in whatever spaces might be available. After years of training to fully undress a patient for an exam at ABEM General Hospital, patients may now routinely be treated in street clothes sitting in a hallway chair.

A medical aspirator that fails to function does serious harm. Even if the device doesnt harm patients, it delays treatment, which increases morbidity. Additionally, inadequate suction is a major factor in aspiration and hypoxia. SSCORs free medical aspirator test kit offers a cost-effective and efficient way to end the problem of non-functioning suction devices.
