Reposting a well researched JEMS article that breaks down pre-hospital and EMS challenges in the face of the ongoing erosion of airway management skills and Endotracheal Intubation proficiency. It is jaw dropping to read a Dallas study stated, “for (Australian) road-based paramedics, rapid transport to (the) hospital without intubation should be regarded as the standard of care.”   At Epic Airway Systems, Inc. we believe standards of care for airway management and patient care must only elevate and never decline. Through innovation, we develop safer, simpler and more efficient airway management solutions. https://lnkd.in/gP_Ujrfw

Coroners have an important patient safety role not just to decide how somebody came by their death but also, where appropriate, a duty to publicly report concerns about ongoing risks that may lead to another death, a "Prevention of Future Deaths (PFD report).   In certain cases, organisations may wish to provide the Coroner with evidence to explain the outcome of any internal investigation and provide assurance that organisational learning has been, or is being, implemented. If you are in this position, our specialist inquest team have prepared this guide to assist with the preparation of that evidence: Guide to preparing and delivering evidence of organisational learning to the Coroner: https://lnkd.in/eHEyAYhc

🚨 Safety First: Post-Anesthesia Precautions 🚨 Undergoing anesthesia is a common part of many medical procedures, but it comes with important aftercare instructions that should never be ignored. One of the most crucial rules is to avoid driving or operating heavy machinery for at least 24 hours after being put under anesthesia, but it is most important to consult your doctor about how long before you can safely operate equipment again. Failing to follow this advice doesn’t just put you at risk—it can have serious consequences for your family too. Imagine the impact of an accident or injury on your loved ones. The best way to protect them is to ensure you are fully recovered before resuming these activities. The most dangerous thing a person can do is think they’re OK when they’re not. Let’s prioritize our safety and that of our families. Listen to your healthcare providers and take the necessary time to recover. Your vigilance can make all the difference. 🌟 #SafetyFirst #Healthcare #Anesthesia #FamilyFirst #StaySafe #PNPA
