There was a pile of research up to a couple years ago which referenced the "National Emergency Airway Registry." When I try to find the actual registry itself, or a pathway by which one might access and query such registry, I run into walls. Can #EmergencyMedicine LinkedIn maybe help me out? Where is the NEAR and how does one get to it? #Airway #NationalEmergencyAirwayRegistry #EmergencyAirway #EMAirway #Critcare #criticalcare #critcareairway #airwayresearch #QI #airwayQI

First WHO/Europe Indoor Air Conference is starting today. This is how they define objective - make a case for why we need to monitor and improve indoor air in buildings, including: - The importance of the challenge for both infectious disease and wider health - That air quality in public buildings is not in the control of individuals and therefore it is the responsibility of the government/organisation to ensure IAQ and ventilation are sufficient - The need to link with net-zero, that some net-zero actions may be locking in IAQ problems and that there are win-win solutions - Experiences of what can be done including bringing in air quality monitoring and implementing technology solutions such as air cleaning   Here is the link to the broadcast: https://lnkd.in/dwHu_5rW        

September 2, 1998 Swissair Flight 111 crashed just off the coast of Halifax, Nova Scotia. All 229 on board died when the MD 11 crashed into the Atlantic Ocean. What many may not know is that this tragedy marked the beginning of the Family Assistance Education & Research Foundation (FAERF) as it was the first time that we were able to hear directly from families as to the effectiveness of employees from various airlines sharing the compassionate care team role of supporting families. Of the 229 souls on board, 53 of the passengers and 1 flight attendant were from Delta Air Lines. Swissair employees flew in to support the families of their passengers and crew, Delta Air Lines supplied 306 Care Team members, plus innumerable Delta employees who provided support and logistical roles. Air Canada and Air Nova also sent employees to help the families. The effectiveness of employees with different identification badges and uniforms blended together as they all wore one badge that was identical--a badge labelled "Care Team." When FAERF was founded in 2000, this model of organized, shared mutual support from multiple company employee, all trained the same way, became a reality and set the standard for future responses. Jeff Morgan, Founder and Chairman of FAERF led the Delta Air Lines response in Halifax and his story about the night of the accident and conversations between Delta's executive-team with Swissair's leadership in Zurich are captured in Handbook for Human Services Response, Coarsey, 2004.

In the following clip Judy responds to my question about how the logistics and overall support helped her cope in the initial hours, and affected her in the following years. The clip is from an interview with Judy at the 10th year anniversary FAERF symposium. #careteam #survivors #weremember #emergencyresponse

The excitement surrounding air mobility is palpable, but fear-driven regulations present barriers to entry into the market. Jennifer Steeve, Jeffrey Gordon, and E.
