Connolly ED

An elf being brought into #ConnollyED #simulation this month from Santa's toy factory mishap. Penetrating candy cane, electrical burns, and run of VT. Great demonstration of EM leadership, managed by our cool, calm and collected EM consultants and nurses. Merry Xmas!

When Halloween goes from spooky to smoky. This month #ConnollyED#simulation is a pt falling from height into bonfire. Focus on primary survey, chest trauma and airway inhalation injury, and burns management. Great case to practice shared mental models and prioritisation.

Losing the cool under pressure! This month's #connollyed #sim: hypothermic cardiac arrest. Everything from modified arrest algorithm to rapid core rewarming options such as lavages. Closed loop communication and early decision making is key to success in a prolonged arrest.

#connollyED sim this month: anaphylaxis. Great case to highlight early recognition and management of refractory anaphylaxis, difficult airway algorithm, and declaring CICO for front of neck access. Many thanks @RCSI_SIM for the kit so our EM team can practice HALO procedure.

Another wonderful MDT simulation today with Infectious Diseases, Microbiology and Infection Control looking at ED process in managing MPOX Clade 1. Great way to stress test our infrastructure, PPE donning & doffing, and sample collection. #ConnollyED #simulation
