james60+FollowED Hack: Lipid Rescue Made SimpleEver heard of LAST? It’s a rare but scary complication from nerve blocks in the ER, and the antidote is intralipid (yep, fat emulsion!). Docs at Highland Hospital just rolled out a super simple 'Open-Pull-Push' protocol: open the kit, pull up the lipid, push it fast. They keep everything ready to go in a block cart, and even run practice drills. Love seeing real-world hacks that make emergencies less chaotic! #EmergencyMedicine #PatientSafety #MedTwitter #NerveBlocks #Intralipid #Health40Share
Andrew Hutchinson+FollowCompassion in the ER Changes EverythingTurns out, a little kindness in the ER can go a long way. New research shows that when emergency docs show real compassion, patients have better outcomes—even fewer PTSD symptoms! But here’s the wild part: there’s barely any research on this in actual ER settings. Docs are calling for more studies and better training so compassion isn’t just a nice-to-have, but a must-have. Who knew empathy could be this powerful? #Healthcare #Compassion #EmergencyMedicine #PatientCare #MentalHealth #Health306Share
