Good stuff but I think you meant to say “acidaemic”, if you were talking about a falling pH. Acidosis is the disease process and can co-exist with alkalosis; acidaemia is the result of all the processes together.
wouldnt PEEP cause increased intrathoracic preasure? Also, would you consider it a viable option to initially go for passive ventilation even tho you have a BVM, so that you can set up for early intubation/supraglottig airways
Yes - all good points. There a pros and cons with each intervention. I think the pros of SOME PEEP outweight the cons but we need more evidence. And I agree - an early 'advanced' airway is so much better than BVM which is so hard to perform effectively in arrest, prehospital, with limited numbers of providers
The 999 call takers are also required to advise to move anything from behind the head, by the AMPDS system. Frustrating!
Thanks for another great and applicable talk Doc Cliff, very grateful brother.
We look forward to your visit real soon! Take good care
