Thank you for your patience! Results from EVADE can be found here: authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S01… Thank you to all those who contributed!
@wmasjoshmiller @swasFT @swasFTResearch Will continue to be available for routine use pending results and discussion with @swasFT while stocks last. We hope to consider an ongoing service evaluation if supported by @EvadeStudy findings.
It's the last day of @EvadeStudy recruitment! With a predicted recruitment of over 800 participants @swasFT and @swasFTResearch have done an amazing job! Still time to use the VAD for your #svt patients and if evidence of benefit we hope the device will continue to be available
@swasFT @NIHRSW @UniofExeter @RoyalDevonNHS Can't remember exactly how to do a modified Valsalva for #SVT ? It's written on the device. Please use for all VMs @swasFT
@swasFT @NIHRSW @UniofExeter @RoyalDevonNHS Thank you @swasFT and @swasFTResearch . Now in the last phase of this trial whereby the device is available for routine use across the trust. #Itsinthegreenresponsebag #svt
#TeamSWASFT is trialling a new device for our patients with an abnormally fast heart rhythm which could help reduce hospital admissions across the #SouthWest.💚 Read more about the study here ▶️swast.nhs.uk/welcome/latest…
Very exciting final stage of @EvadeStudy where by all 100% @swasFT ambulance station clinicians will have access to the Valsalva Assist Device to treat #SVT. Great work by @swasFTResearch, @ExeterCTU and @NIHRSW to reach this stage. Approaching 600 patients treated!
and the support and expertise of @ExeterCTU . Thank you 🙏
This would not have been possible without our fantastic station champions and @swasftResearch staff. Look forward to seeing what we can achieve!
bmjopen.bmj.com/content/bmjope… Delighted that our EVADE SVT protocol paper has been published open access. Designing a pragmatic study for delivery during normal ambulance care by usual treating @swasFT clinicians has been challenging and rewarding. @swasFTResearch @NIHRSW
As of 1st March, half of all @swasFT ambulance stations now have access to the Valsalva Assist Device (VAD) as the routine device to treat #SVT. If it's in the pouch you can use it! #JustaccesstheValsalvapouch @swasFTResearch
Congratulations Honiton @swasFT Ambulance station which treated the 300th EVADE SVT patient! Well done. Another 25% of stations will have access to the VAD in March. #accessthepouch #svt #vad images.app.goo.gl/8Y7gFD41PsAGdQ…
@Aidan_Baron @swasFT @swasFTResearch A 10% point reduction in hospital conveyance, for which EVADE is powered to detect, would pay for devices for an entire ambulance trust within 7 months. Given the delays ambulances are currently experiencing at EDs there are the wider benefits of avoiding convayance too.
Excited that as of 1st Nov the Valsalva Assist Device (VAD) will become available to @swasFT paramedics for routine treatment of #SVT. In the @EvadeStudy randomly selected stations will have the VAD stocked on ambulances and devices rolled out to all stations over next 18 months
@Aidan_Baron @swasFT @swasFTResearch No. The VAD enables a reliable and pressure controlled strain and includes instructions for an evidence based VM, easily available to paramedics who may rarely perform a VM. We shall see if this has any benefits over a syringe - That is the point of trial!
