Go Ryan! CCP at the QEII Halifax

Thank you to Ryan Fitzpatrick for presenting his research at Canadian Paramedic Research Day!

In his study, “Evaluating the Impact of Critical Care Paramedics Intubations in the ED,” Ryan found that critical care paramedics achieved intubation success rates comparable to those of attending physicians. His findings highlight the strong clinical skills of CCPs and their growing role in emergency airway management.

We appreciate his valuable research and the great discussion it sparked.

Merci à Ryan Fitzpatrick d’avoir présenté ses recherches lors de la Journée canadienne de la recherche en paramédecine !
Dans son étude intitulée « Evaluating the Impact of Critical Care Paramedics Intubations in the ED », Ryan a constaté que les paramédics en soins critiques obtenaient des taux de réussite à l’intubation comparables à ceux des médecins responsables. Ses résultats mettent en lumière les solides compétences cliniques des CCP et leur rôle croissant dans la prise en charge des voies respiratoires en situation d’urgence.

Nous apprécions la valeur de ses travaux et les excellentes discussions qu’ils ont suscitées.
