Newly discovered cells could be responsible for atherosclerosis complications.

Fun fact: Women are around 30% less likely to get bystander CPR and survive out of hospital cardiac arrest due to provider discomfort.

Practically, how do you do it? 👙⚡️

It’s standard practise to remove clothing to provide CPR and/or use an AED, that’s why there are shears with an AED. A quick cut & you have more room to work without artificial breast elevation, the defib pads will be better placed and you won’t have to worry about an underwire diverting the electricity & burning the skin.

There’s some practical tips here for how this can work in public if you’re uncomfortable
- Here’s a great video on how to cut off a bra:

- you can drape a shirt over the chest after pads are placed if there are onlookers etc.

- don’t worry - if you call 000 and are cutting off bras to do CPR in good faith, you are protected by laws in at least Australia & the UK against claims of inappropriate behaviour.

Tell your friends.

p.s. Nino Fijacko posted the question: is there an evidence base for this? Yes!
- A nice summary starting point here 👉https://lnkd.in/gEPJFWuF
- A study out of the US/Canada showing decreased CPR & survival for women 👉 https://lnkd.in/gAs-FEwa
- And Japan a reluctance to perform CPR for women specifically aged 15-49yo 👉https://lnkd.in/gi7iuPmp
- And across Asia 👉 https://lnkd.in/gCA9P9cw
- And the Netherlands 👉 https://lnkd.in/gppVsiVe
- And Denmark 👉 https://lnkd.in/gTTByuXA
- This study found that people think women are overdramatic about having a medical emergency, too frail to receive CPR, and providers are anxious about touching breasts and scared about being accused of assault 👉 https://lnkd.in/gKmZG32J
- this study shows that if you put a pad ON the left breast (ie above the cup of the bra) the shock is less effective, you have to attach it lateral (ie where the bra strap is) or inferior (where the underwire is) 👉https://lnkd.in/gseSFSTz
- This study showed a delay to CPR when un******ng but they didn’t let participants use scissors (!) and they did not attach AED pads 👉https://lnkd.in/gaNDiVsZ
- For underwire issues, no specific evidence. But for other items of clothing? Evidence of rare but real issues 👉https://lnkd.in/ge5Rit9M.
- For pad placement, one study showed no issue with time to first shock with a bra on, but did not comment on accuracy of pad placement or shock effectiveness 👉https://lnkd.in/gm-aVjfk

The newest subvariant of Omicron, XBB.1.5, is so transmissible that everybody is at risk of catching it, even if they've already been infected and are fully vaccinated, a health expert told USA Today .

"It's crazy infectious," said Paula Cannon, PhD., a virologist at the University of Southern California. "All the things that have protected you for the past couple of years, I don't think are going to protect you against this new crop of variants."

XBB.1.5 is spreading quickly in the United States. It accounted for 27.6% of cases in the country last week, up from about 1% of cases at one point in December, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It's especially prevalent in the Northeast, now accounting for more than 70% of the cases in that region.

It's spreading across the globe, too. Maria Van Kerkhove, PhD., technical lead of the World Health Organization, has called XBB.1.5 is "the most transmissible subvariant that has been detected yet."

Ashish Jha, MD, the White House COVID-19 response coordinator, tweeted a few days ago that the spread of XBB.1.5 is "stunning" but cautioned that it's unclear if the symptoms of infection will be more severe than for previous variants.

"Whether we'll have an XBB.1.5 wave (and if yes, how big) will depend on many factors including immunity of the population, people's actions, etc.," he tweeted.
He urged people to get up to date on their boosters, wear a snug-fitting mask, and avoid crowded indoor spaces. He noted that people who haven't been infected recently or haven't gotten the bivalent booster likely have little protection against infection.
The symptoms for XBB.1.5 appear to be the same as for other versions of COVID-19. However, it's less common for people infected with XBB.1.5 to report losing their sense of taste and smell, USA Today reported.

USA Today: "People who haven't had COVID will likely catch XBB.1.5 – and many will get reinfected, experts say"
