We are joined by Kurt Bramer from Advanced CPR Solutions again this week to continue the series on Heads Up CPR and other promising sudden cardiac arrest treatments. He and Dr. Joe Holley kicked off the discussion in two previous episodes. Elevated CPR Series Episode One Elevated CPR Series Episdoe Two We open this week’s episode with a holiday severe weather update from our disaster meteorologist, Dan DePodwin. He reports on several storm systems that will impact Thanksgiving holiday travel across the eastern half of the country. Following that update, we kick off episode 3 of our heads-up CPR series with a look at the long history of the evolutionary changes to cardiac arrest treatment. Kurt Bramer from Advanced CPR Solutions leads off with a response to some comments to the first two episodes in this series. A few listeners worried that we might sound like we were criticizing the individual responders on cardiac arrest calls over the low survival rates for the condition. The team made a joint statement that no criticism of providers in the field was intended. We all are providers ourselves and are merely commenting on the results that everyone has been getting in response to treating cardiac arrest. Some systems do better with resource management than others, but even those areas fail to save even a simple majority of their cardiac arrest patients. CARES Registry for Cardiac Arrest Stats Follow up on more of these segments as we continue to look at the current research trends in future episodes and what is on the horizon for the future. The episode was co-hosted by Sam Bradley and Jamie Davis. Scroll down for Podcast Discussion Summary Thank you as always to Paragon Medical Education Group for their long-term support of the Disaster Podcast. Dr. Joe Holley and the team at Paragon continue to provide excellent and customized disaster response training to jurisdictions around the U.S. and internationally as well. Podcast Discussion Summary CPR Challenges and Future Improvements The meeting began with a discussion about travel weather for the Thanksgiving weekend, with Dan DePodwin warning of widespread lake effect snow in the eastern United States and a potential ground blizzard in the Dakotas and Minnesota. The group then transitioned to their main topic, CPR, where Joe clarified that their previous discussion about CPR’s limitations was not meant to criticize CPR providers, but rather to highlight the challenges and lack of progress in the field over the past 50 years. They planned to explore potential improvements to CPR in future episodes. Advancements in CPR Techniques Kurt Bramer, with 40 years of experience in EMS and emergency management, discussed the history of CPR, highlighting its evolution from mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to modern techniques. He emphasized the need for better tools and more effective methods for emergency responders, as current practices are often based on outdated or insufficiently tested techniques. The group acknowledged that while responders are doing their best with limited tools, recent research may lead to positive changes in CPR practices. They also touched on the introduction of high-performance CPR in the 2010s, which aimed to maximize the effectiveness of current technologies and minimize detrimental pauses during resuscitation efforts. Mechanical CPR Guidelines Review The discussion focused on the American Heart Association’s recent guidelines regarding mechanical CPR, which recommend against routine use but allow for exceptions like transport scenarios. Kurt and Joe highlighted that the guidelines lump together different types of mechanical compressors, ignoring their unique physiological effects and training limitations. They emphasized that current research primarily focuses on patient survival as an endpoint, which may not fully capture the benefits of mechanical CPR, such as improved blood flow and reduced pauses during resuscitation. The conversation also touched on the importance of considering neurological outcomes beyond mere survival and the need for better training on integrating mechanical devices into overall cardiac arrest management. Bundle Care Approach in Resuscitation The group discussed the bundle of care approach in resuscitation, focusing on the use of multiple therapies simultaneously to improve patient outcomes. Kurt and Joe highlighted the success of the ITD (Impedance Threshold Device) when used with high-quality CPR, leading to a 50% increase in one-year survival. They also noted that only a small percentage of resuscitation guidelines are supported by randomized control trials, emphasizing the challenges in interpreting research data. The group discussed the importance of disaster preparedness and the role of specialized training, with Jamie highlighting the sponsorship of the Disaster Podcast by Paragon Medical Education Group.

At first, it looked like age catching up with former police chief Rick Young: confusion, fatigue, a flutter in the chest. No one suspected that the woman he had trusted for decades was quietly planning his death. This week on Pathology with Dr. Priya, a Zone 7 series, Sheryl McCollum and Dr. Priya Banerjee discuss the case of Marcy Oglesby, who, over several months, secretly mixed over-the-counter eye drops into Young's food and drinks. When his body was later discovered inside a storage unit, toxicology revealed lethal levels of tetrahydrozoline, the active ingredient in common eye drops. Dr. Priya explains how this drug attacks the cardiovascular system, why it is almost undetectable without targeted testing, and what makes poisonings like this so difficult to identify until it's far too late.

Send us a textA metal building. A humid morning. A partner workout with his teenage son. Then silence. Jeff Luther's heart flatlined, the AED fired three times, and eight minutes later he came back with a vow: die living instead of live dying. What follows isn't a hero montage. It's a human one—fear, bitterness, an ARVC diagnosis that punishes exertion, and a divorce that lands just as he's relearning how to trust his body.We walk through the messy middle: the taste of near-death that lingers, the implanted defibrillator that both protects and unnerves, and the hard truth Jeff discovered when time was measured in heartbeats. He didn't want more money or medals. He wanted a hand on his arm and his son within reach. That clarity becomes a compass. Gratitude stops being a platitude and starts working like a switch—crowding out despair with small, specific thanks. From there, he designs a new way to move: low-adrenaline training, no music, no cheering, and a coach who agrees to watch the clock and call the ambulance if needed.The breakthrough is quiet and real. Mid-workout, Jeff quits—fully. His coach asks for 30 seconds just to end on a win. He tries. Nothing breaks. He tries again. He finishes the session in 30-second intervals, and a life philosophy takes shape: success isn't a finish line, it's the action you take today. Put on your shoes. Show up. Work for 30 seconds. Rest. Repeat. Along the way we talk about CrossFit community, cardiac arrest survival, ARVC-safe exercise, the psychology of fear, and why better questions—how is today treating you—build stronger connections than small talk ever could.If this story resonates, follow and share it with someone who needs a small win today.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Pradyumna J. Oak. Dr. Oak is a Senior Neurologist and Director of Neurology at Nanavati Super Speciality Hospital, Mumbai. His extensive experience in stroke management and neurocritical care makes him a perfect expert to speak on brain stroke. Vikas & Dr. Oak discussed causes, diagnosis, risk factors, important tests, and primary and secondary prevention.Here are some key takeaways: Blockages in blood vessels supplying blood to the brain may lead to a brain stroke. It is different from a heart attack or cardiac arrest.Diabetes, hypertension, Obesity, smoking, and use of tobacco are the major risk factors that contribute to a brain stroke.Statins may help stabilize the plaque and reduce LDL cholesterol levels.Brain stroke can happen due to occlusion (blockage) in arteries or hemorrhage(rupture) of blood vessels. A person experiencing a Transient Ischemic Attack might have difficulty speaking. Unfortunately, in the symptoms of a brain stroke, there is no pain. Running and other endurance activities may help condition your heart and even keep your baseline heart rate in check.A well planned workout program is helpful in mitigation of similar issues including a condition such as brain stroke.About Vikas Singh:Vikas Singh, an MBA from Chicago Booth, worked at Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, APGlobale, and Reliance before coming up with the idea of democratizing fitness knowledge and helping beginners get on a fitness journey.

Today, we're diving into one of the most challenging scenarios any EMS provider faces: paediatric cardiac arrest. The figures are challenging, with only a 4.9% survival rate for infants and neurologically intact survival rates as low as 1-4% nationally. These calls have long been considered to have poor outcomes.But what if I told you that one fire department completely rewrote the playbook and achieved neurologically intact survival rates of 46%? What if they did it by breaking conventional rules and staying on scene longer, not shorter?Today, we're joined by Medical Director Paul Banerjee from Polk County Fire Rescue in Florida, where they've transformed paediatric cardiac arrest outcomes through changing the protocols that challenge everything we thought we knew about pre-hospital resuscitation. From their "NO/NO/GO" dispatch system to permissive hypercarbia post-intubation, from mechanical CPR to aggressive on-scene airway management, Polk County has proven that with the right approach, we can dramatically improve outcomes in this patient cohort. *** Please note, this podcast is for information purposes only.

You should be able to obtain a history and know to order toxicology.The majority of toxins don't have a specific antidote. There are a few toxins for which we have emergency interventions and ACLS providers should be familiar with.Reviewing the patient's medical history for indicators that may lead us to suspect a tablet/toxin cause of cardiac arrest.Administration of Narcan for suspected narcotics overdose following the Opioid Associated Emergency algorithm.Other common ACLS Tablet Toxin scenarios with possible treatments.Medications commonly used to treat specific toxins that are regularly stocked on crash carts or carried in EMS med bags.ACLS providers that suspect a specific toxin should consult with their Pharmacy or call Poison Control for treatment directions.**American Cancer Society (ACS) Fundraiser This is the seventh year that I'm participating in Men Wear Pink to increase breast cancer awareness and raise money for the American Cancer Society's life-saving mission.I hope you'll consider contributing.Every donation makes a difference in the fight against breast cancer!

This is a pretty special episode! If you're involved in cardiac arrest management or care of critically unwell patients then there's some ground breaking practice we'll be discussing with the two founders of the SPEAR course; Jon Barratt; Lt Col, British Army Emergency Medicine and PHEM Consultant, University Hospitals of the North Midlands Clinical Lead - Research and Clinical Innovation, Yorkshire Air Ambulance MERIT Consultant, West Midlands Ambulance Service Senior Lecturer, Academic Department of Military Emergency Medicine Paul Rees; Surgeon Commander Royal Navy Consultant, East Anglian Air Ambulance & Barts Heart Centre Lead for Resuscitation Barts Health NHS Trust Reader in Cardiology & Resuscitation, University of St Andrews & QMUL London Defence Lead for Endovascular Resuscitation SPEAR co-founder Ultimately in the episode we navigate through to the delivery of endovascular resuscitation both pre and in-hospital, building on the fundamentals of care and logistics which enable its delivery. We'll be covering; Blood pressure monitoring both invasive and non-invasive, the evidence and the cohort of patients we should be targeting with invasive blood pressure monitoring Delivering complex medical interventions in unpredictable circumstances and environments Balancing the benefits of interventions with time required and workflow REBOA for medical arrests, the theory and the ERICA trial Improving recognition of ROSC The SPEAR course How to prepare services and departments for upcoming advances in resuscitation There is something for everyone in here and a huge thanks to Jon and Paul for their time. Make sure to check out the links to the papers discussed in the episode below. Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom! Simon, Rob & James
The 2017 NEJM study, ALPS, compared amiodarone, lidocaine, and placebo for refractory shockable rhythms in adults with out of hospital cardiac arrest. They found no significant difference in survival to hospital discharge or functional survival between any of the arms. If that study has left you confused, you're not alone. And you're in luck. Tanner Smida joins us again to discuss his latest paper using something called target trial emulation to assess the difference in ROSC and survival to discharge between amiodarone and lidocaine. This is a great discussion of his paper, the methodology, and how we can put his results into the context of ALPS.Citations:1.Smida T, Crowe R, Price BS, Scheidler J, Martin PS, Shukis M, Bardes J: A retrospective ‘target trial emulation' comparing amiodarone and lidocaine for adult out-of-hospital cardiac arrest resuscitation.
