Care of EVDs & Temporary Pacing Wires in Retrieval

Some patients require transfer with medical equipment that we may not deal with frequently, or at least in the context of an inter-hospital environment. Examples of such equipment include external ventricular drains (EVDs) and temporary pacing wires.

Our very own Dr Ruan Vlok spoke at the Greater Sydney HEMS Education Day on 9th October 2024 about just this subject, and the talk(s) are now on our YouTube channel. These may be particularly useful revision for anyone undertaking the A(PHRM) training programme or examinations.

Obstetric Emergencies in PHARM

Dr Penny Wilson, GP Obstetrician (@nomadicgp on X), joined us recently at a GSA-HEMS Education Day to discuss key peri-partum emergencies in the context of pre-hospital and retrieval medicine.

The recognition and management of cord prolapse, breech delivery and shoulder dystocia are discussed in her talk, now on our YouTube channel.

For additional revision, or preparation for pre-hospital & retrieval examinations, you may also wish to check out some of the training videos produced by the PROMPT Maternity Foundation charity.
