My first submission to the Grand Rounds Blog Carnival has been accepted and was highlighted in yesterday’s Grand Rounds post at the CovertRationingBlog.com by Dr. Rich. My submission was a post from EverydayEMSTips.com – Do you ever go through the motions?

I really appreciate Dr. Rich’s description of the post:

“Greg Friese at Everyday EMS Tips has written a great post on why rescuers should NEVER just “go through the motions” in performing CPR on a patient who is clearly already dead. (That is, clearly dead – not just merely dead, but really, most sincerely dead.) While “going through the motions” in such circumstances has been advanced as a way to give comfort to observing family members, Mr. Friese convincingly argues that rescuers should never, never just go through the motions. His warning not to “just go through the motions” is so well written that DrRich has e-mailed the link to the Pittsburgh Pirates.”

Reasons to Participate

A blog carnival is a collection of posts from bloggers that is usually organized around a loose theme. Some reasons to participate in a blog carnival include:

• increase traffic to your site and a specific post
• increase RSS and list subscribers
• receive in-bound hyperlinks to your site
• affiliate your name and blog name with other bloggers
• learn about other bloggers
• read some amazing blog posts

The Handover Blog Carnival is another blog carnival for healthcare professionals with a specific focus on pre-hospital and emergency department personnel.

Dr. John LaPuma is hosting the next edition of the Grand Rounds (visit his blog for the theme and submission instructions).
