The ACP International Conference provides an unmatched opportunity for our members to learn from experts and leaders in paramedicine. ACPIC 2021 was delivered as a hybrid conference (online and face to face in the Sunshine Coast, QLD and Hobart, TAS) in November 2021.
An usual OHCA, with no Intensive Care Paramedic available, was managed by paramedics. With a difficult airway and spontaneous breathing whilst under CPR, the team went out of their scope to manage the patient. What set them up for success, and would they do it again? Andrew uses this case to discuss what paramedics can do to optimise their own success, and their peers successes, when working outside their designated scope of practice.
