We will be running through insertion of chest tubes and practising on lamb ribs, thanks to Jim’s Butchery on Oxford St.

This will be followed by a trauma team simulation scenario, so please make sure you are familiar with the svh-trauma-team-roles

This is followed by trauma cases and Fellowship questions.

See you there

This week we are providing another FIB workshop, brought to you by Julie Leung (ED Consultant) Julie Gawthorne (ED CNC) and Jenny Stevens (VMO anaesthetist, Head of Pain Service).

If you are not yet accredited for FIB insertion, please complete the FIB learning pathway on your HETI “My Health Learning” site.

You can also check out the Vinnies produced FIB in the elderly guide via the ACI website. fascia-iliaca-block-guide

and watch the video of FIB insertion here

Also access here the Vinnies documents svh-fib-protocol and the pain-assessment-in-elderly

It is a great workshop that will inspire you to insert FIBs into all your NOF# patients ASAP!

We should all be confident and up-to-date with our ALS knowledge and practice

Check out the SVH ALS guidelines 2018 for up to date information that is also site specific. You will also find information on the LUCAS device, ECMO and how to manage VAD patients.
