This recent article summarizes a study done and published in the New England Journal of Medicine regarding different methods of CPR and their impact on patient outcome, hospital time after resuscitation, and time to discharge. I find this article quite fascinating because my home state recently switched to the continuous chest compressions protocol.
Here's another article relating to a world that's very close to my heart. An EMT, paramedic, firefighter, ER nurse, doc, or anyone involved in the Emergency Department of any hospital can tell you that the environment takes quite a toll on your life.
Sometimes I'd like to throw everything away and think, why not get paid a ton of money and become a linewoman? I'd get to climb and see beautiful sceneries, be around a bunch of really macho guys. This article makes quite a compelling argument...no?
And in order to have a good mindset about the upcoming OSCEs, here's a fun little Youtube video.
Cheers!
