A summary thread from the great Emergency Medicine Australasia issue I finally read on the plane; @EMAJournal #foamed
Thom study in EMA: patients with unstable cervical #fractures can sit (29%), walk (63%), lack midline tenderness (27%), and have delayed presentation (20%).

surf injuries were mostly lower c-spine
NEXUS underperformed compared to Canadian C-spine.
#drowning and cervical CTs are not inextricably linked: don't automatically image unless signs of axial loading/very specific concerns

@EMAJournal [my $0.02 on immobilising (virtually) anyone prehospitally: cervical immobilisation is a myth: collars don't actually immobilise, and 'immobilisation' doesn't actually prevent neurological injury...it *does* however harm (eg aspiration and other harms)]
Always a pleasure to see my first EM supervisor @mattreed73 on stage, and to talk about such an important topic. @AorticDissectCT #EUSEM2022 #aorticdissection 
Sobering context to begin the session from Mrs Latham who sadly lost her son after a missed diagnosis several years ago.
She has clearly turned her grief and loss into a hugely positive thing in @AorticDissectCT and shares her story with us today at #EUSEM2022

A testament to the healthcare professionals and trustees invovled in this charity that they are able to recognise the shared burden of missed diagnoses and other failings in the healthcare system, despite their own personal involvements. It isn'teasy to see other sides #EUSEM2022
Today is our 1st #birthday! It’s been an amazing year establishing & growing a #community of #inclusivity in #aorticdissection. Like everyone, the past year has been trying. But we're reflecting on the highlights of what has been achieved so far. Please read on 🧵👇
We spoke at 25+ events on a mission to update & spread #AortaEd across the patient pathway. Partnering with @OFFICIALWMAS @ParamedicsUK @nhsswft @bsms_ctss @SCTSUK @cpdme @AssocEmergMedIE @NCAlliance_NHS @RCollEM @EuropSocEM @acutemedicine @CDDFTNHS +more
#Podcasts are easily accessible #FOAMed, especially for teams on the road. We focused on reaching pre-hospital where swift AD diagnosis & management will prevent unnecessary deaths.

1/n Basically, if there is an arch aneurysm and a descending aneurysm, it’s pretty hard to get exposure to fix both. So, if you leave an “elephant trunk” behind, it dangles into the descending aneurysm. On return for DTA repair,
First described by Hans Borst in 1983.

2/n When it’s time to do the descending aorta via left thoracotomy, you can easily clamp the free floating elephant trunk, and stretch it down past the aneurysm. Once the distal anastomosis is sutured in place, the aneurysm is excluded. Simple.

3/n Of course, with this approach, the patient still needs two highly invasive open operations.
