Delighted to publish this paper: pre-hospital ECPR is feasible in an Australian metropolitan setting. Time to ECMO flow of 50 minutes - much improved compared to historical data for cases transported to the hospital Emergency Department for salvage ECPR. Many thanks for the hard work of my colleagues in making CHEER3 possible (ongoing!). https://rdcu.be/dtyoK

It a study undertaken at the University of Cincinnati it was concluded that: The current data indicates an association of a decreased incidence of concussion among football players during the competitive seasons where vision training was performed as part of the preseason training. We suggest that better field awareness gained from vision training may assist in preparatory awareness to avoid concussion causing injuries. Future large scale clinical trials are warranted to confirm the effects noted in this preliminary report. You can read the study here: https://lnkd.in/e4zizyjz

Innovative Trauma Care Inc. (iTClamp) #itclamp was designed to be easily applied for hemorrhage control of the scalp, neck and other compressible extremity wounds.

On October 6th, 1903, the New York Times published an editorial that stated humans would be able to fly in “one to ten million years” of continuous innovation and effort. On December 17th, 1903, the Wright Brothers took to the skies. All that to say, innovation moves faster than any of us can imagine. It can also move quite slowly. The history of CPR is a great example. It’s only been about 66 years since the advent of cardiopulmonary resuscitation as we know it today. 66 years before that, though, one doctor was just realizing the importance of chest compressions by performing them on his canine subjects. In fact, if you review the entire history of CPR at the link here, you’ll see how various scientists and innovators each discovered a piece of the modern CPR process. My team’s infographic has all the highlights, with some eye-popping historical info. And the article is a great lunch break read!
