In the second session of the Depth Over Daises Conference, Pastor Cheryl shares a message about the importance of the heart.

According to a new survey conducted by the American Red Cross, 8 out of 10 people believe it's very important to know CPR and how to use an AED, yet only a quarter of Americans feel confident performing CPR or using an AED. We spoke to Richard Branigan, CEO of the American Red Cross Connecticut & Rhode Island Region, about the importance of CPR and AED Awareness Week. We also talked about prepping for hurricane season.To get CPR & AED Training: https://www.redcross.org/take-a-class

Jim Spaulding (Cardiac Care & Safety Inc owner/operator), a 28-year veteran of such matters, steps in-studio during "National CPR & AED Awareness Week" with oodles of insight, information and stories to enlighten and encourage the WFIL audience on how a person can be prepared to help save lives. You can find out more at www.cardiaccareinc.com. We continue sketching out a WFIL Station Family map as well, inviting listeners from as many cities & towns in the WFIL audience to text in and let us know where they're listening (partly for fun and partly as an encouragement that each of us is not alone but part of a bigger family (the "capital C" Church) :).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this hard-hitting episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis sits down with Doug, a cardiothoracic ICU physician, for a no-fluff deep dive into ACLS with a heavy focus on pulseless VT and VFib in austere, military, and prolonged field care environments.From deciding when CPR is worth it under fire or in a mass casualty scenario, to running a lean team code with minimal personnel, nailing high-quality BLS, working the H's and T's under chaos, post-ROSC pitfalls, antiarrhythmics, and the gut-wrenching decision of when to call it — this conversation delivers practical, experience-based wisdom you won't find in standard ACLS class.Whether you're a medic, PA, physician, or team leader operating far from a hospital, this episode gives you the mental framework and tactical edge to give your teammate the best possible shot at survival.Key Takeaways:Scene safety and triage realities — when not to start CPRHow one knowledgeable person can effectively run an entire code by delegating roles (CPR rotations, timer, airway, meds, defibrillator)Prioritizing actions in resource-limited environments: early high-quality CPR + epi > everything elseWhen and how to practically apply the H's and T's (especially hypovolemia, acidosis, hypoxia, and tension pneumo)Post-ROSC critical care: preventing rearrest, airway management, sedation, and treating the “two patients” (heart + brain)Amiodarone vs Lidocaine — when to use whatRealistic termination of resuscitation guidelines, the difference between witnessed vs unwitnessed arrest, and the value of objective outside input (telemedicine)The power of bringing the team in for closure when the fight is overChapters00:00 – Intro & Welcome00:57 – Can you really do CPR in the field?

In this special three-part series, we move beyond the acute management of cardiac arrest and into the far less frequently discussed phase of survival: what comes after return of spontaneous circulation. While clinical focus often centres on early defibrillation, high-quality CPR, and post-resuscitation care, these episodes explore a different but equally important question: what does recovery actually look like for patients and families once they leave the resuscitation bay?Across three conversations, we hear from survivors whose cardiac arrests occurred in dramatically different contexts, yet whose recovery journeys share striking common themes: uncertainty, identity change, psychological impact, and the long shadow of a life-threatening event. We also explore the role of bystanders, pre-hospital clinicians, and system-level coordination in shaping not only survival, but long-term outcomes.In Part 1, Paul Swindell reflects on his sudden cardiac arrest in 2014, the immediate pre-hospital response, and the complex recovery that followed. Paul discusses the physical rehabilitation process alongside the less visible psychological challenges, including adjustment to a new baseline of health and the development of advocacy work through Sudden Cardiac Arrest UK.https://podcasts.apple.com/ee/podcast/surviving-cardiac-arrest-part-1-paul-swindell-and/id1441215901?i=1000680776156In Part 2, Zoe Hitchcock shares her experience of a cardiac arrest in central London caused by underlying cardiomyopathy, resulting in ventricular fibrillation. Zoe walks through the events leading up to her collapse on Oxford Street, the coordinated pre-hospital response, including HEMS involvement, and her transfer to St Mary's Hospital. She reflects on the long-term emotional impact, shifts in perspective, and the way her understanding of family, health, and resilience has evolved since the event.https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/surviving-cardiac-arrest-part-2-zoe-hitchcocks-story/id1441215901?i=1000681711888In Part 3, Noah Baron Cohen, joined by his father Erran Baron Cohen, recounts a sudden collapse during exercise at school in North London in 2016. The episode reconstructs the timeline from initial collapse through resuscitation, emergency response, and subsequent hospital care. Erran provides a parallel perspective as a parent navigating the immediate crisis and the prolonged rehabilitation journey that followed. Together, they explore recovery, family impact, and the enduring psychological and emotional consequences of sudden cardiac arrest.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/surviving-cardiac-arrest-with-noah-and-erran/id1441215901?i=1000567431898Taken together, these episodes reinforce a central principle of resuscitation medicine: survival is a system outcome. Yet beyond the system lies the individual experience, complex, non-linear, and often underrepresented in clinical discourse. This series aims to bridge that gap by bringing survivor voices into the foreground of the cardiac arrest narrative.

At FDIC International 2026, our panel of EMS providers and critical‑care physicians break down ventilation during cardiac arrest: what the science supports, where practice still fails, and practical fixes you can use tomorrow. We cover why bag‑valve‑mask ventilation is a high‑risk skill (and best performed as a two‑person procedure), how over‑ and under‑ventilation change intrathoracic pressure and cardiac output, and why properly opening the airway and achieving a seal are fundamental. We discuss supraglottic airways, intubation pitfalls, CPAP and high‑flow strategies, the pros and cons of mechanical ventilators in the field, and the role of objective feedback devices. The panel emphasizes regular, low‑cost simulation training, equipment readiness, pit‑crew coordination, and the hard truth: patients die from poor ventilation more often than from the absence of intubation.

    Welcome to the Prehospital Emergency Care Podcast! In this episode, hosts Jeremiah Escajeda, Greg Muller, and Ariana Weber discuss four of the sixteen articles from the Prehospital Trauma Compendium. In 2025, the Prehospital Trauma Compendium introduced crucial guidelines and insights regarding the management of traumatic injuries in prehospital settings. This episode summarizes four significant articles that focus on the use of blood products, vasopressors, tranexamic acid, (TXA), and care for patients in traumatic cardiac arrest. If you're an EMS professional or a medical provider involved in trauma care, these insights are vital for improving patient outcomes.   Featured Articles Brown, J. B., Yazer, M.

In this Part 2 or our 2-part EM Cases podcast series on Cardiac Arrest Update, Dr. Sheldon Cheskes and Dr. Rob Simard take us beyond the algorithms and into the real-world decision-making of cardiac arrest care. We answer questions like: Do vasopressin and steroids improve survival or just ROSC? Should we be giving amiodarone earlier—and is lidocaine just as good? When should we use calcium, bicarbonate, or magnesium, and when should we avoid them? What role does ketamine play in CPR-induced consciousness? How should we choose between supraglottic airways and endotracheal intubation? What are the pitfalls of waveform capnography (ETCO2) to help guide CPR quality, detect ROSC, and inform prognosis? What is the role of PoCUS and TEE during cardiac arrest? When should we terminate resuscitation—and how do ETCO2 and POCUS factor into that decision? Should we widen the criteria to consider thrombolytics and who should go to the cath lab, and should we be ordering whole-body CT after ROSC for everyone who isn't going to the cath lab or getting ECMO? And finally, what are the key post-ROSC targets that actually impact neurologic outcomes in cardiac arrest patients? and many more...Please consider a donation to EM Cases to support ongoing high quality Free Open Access Medical Education https://emergencymedicinecases.com/donation/

From over-worked medics to bent coppers, for the last 30 years Jed Mercurio has been responsible for some of the UK's most successful TV series, including Cardiac Arrest, Bodies and Bodyguard. But Line of Duty is arguably his biggest hit, and recording has started for the much-anticipated seventh series.The award-winning screenwriter, director and producer grew up in a working-class family in Staffordshire. His parents, Italian immigrants, were keen he fit in, but friends say Jed was unique from the get-go with big dreams and a determination to be the best.He initially trained to be a doctor and demonstrated his sharp, witty writing in a medical school magazine. Half-way through his medical training, he joined the RAF and was taught to fly fighter jets, before pivoting to screenwriting.Mark Coles looks back at his career so far.Producer: Ben Carter Researcher: Helena Warwick-Cross Editor: Justine Lang Sound engineer: James Beard.

In this EM Cases update on cardiac arrest management, Dr. Sheldon Cheskes and Dr. Rob Simard join Anton to walk us through the evolving science and bedside practicalities of cardiac arrest management in the wake of the 2025 ACLS Guidelines. They answer questions such as: What are the most common failures in CPR quality, and how can we recognize and correct them in real time? Should we employ head up CPR, and if so how? How should we interpret ETCO₂ during cardiac arrest, and why shouldn't we chase a single number? How can we minimize peri-shock pauses and optimize defibrillation success at the bedside? Is the traditional two-minute CPR cycle too rigid, and should we be shocking earlier in cases of refibrillation? What is the evidence behind dual sequential external defibrillation (DSED), and when should we use it? After 3 shocks or earlier? How does hyperventilation during cardiac arrest harm patients, and what strategies can reliably prevent it? What is compression-adjusted ventilation (CAV), and how can it improve ventilation consistency during resuscitation? What is the optimal dose of epinephrine in patient with Ventricular Fibrillation? and many more...

What do we really know about treating refractory ventricular fibrillation? And why are we still waiting to use strategies that might actually work? In this episode, we talk to Sheldon Cheskes about the evolving science of cardiac arrest, with a focus on refractory and recurrent ventricular fibrillation. We explore the evidence behind double sequential external defibrillation (DSED), how it compares to standard defibrillation, and what the DOSE VF trial has changed in practice. This is not just about adding another shock. It's about understanding why defibrillation fails, how vector and energy delivery matter, and when a different approach might improve outcomes. We also discuss: The difference between refractory and recurrent VF — and why it matters What DSED and vector change actually do in physiological terms Why guidelines have been slow to move despite emerging evidence The role of antiarrhythmics, adrenaline, and sequence of care Practical considerations for introducing DSED into real systems What comes next — from smarter detection to post-arrest recovery This is a conversation grounded in real-world resuscitation. It challenges current practice without overselling the evidence. Key Learning Points Refractory VF (persistent after multiple shocks) and recurrent VF (returns after ROSC) are distinct clinical problems with different implications Double sequential external defibrillation (DSED) may improve outcomes in refractory VF by altering current pathways and myocardial depolarisation Timing matters — waiting too long to escalate may reduce the chance of success Current guidelines remain cautious, reflecting the balance between evidence and implementation risk Defibrillation strategy is only one part of a complex system that includes high-quality CPR, drug therapy, and post-resuscitation care Why This Matters Cardiac arrest survival remains low. Small improvements in early resuscitation can have large system-wide effects. Understanding when standard care is failing — and what to do next — is where expertise matters. Learning from podcasts?

Make a monthly pledge to become a member!In this Spotlight, we run our eye and offer our insights on the world of sport, covering a range of sporting events. We start with the Six Nations, which went beyond the wire in a spectacular tournament that shows the health of "the product". We discuss the ongoing Cape Epic, where the pairs format throws up some pacing and tactical challenges for unbalanced teams. And we preview the year's first Monument, where Tadej Pogacar will have to test and challenge Mathieu van der Poel's durability and 5-min power to win the elusive title. We discuss the requirement for Pogacar and UAE to extend the efforts above FTP and even VO2max to climbs even before the Cipressa, in order to make van der Poel vulnerable to a five minute effort on the decisive Poggio climb.Switching to running, we briefly discuss the remarkable 2:10 performance by Fotyen Tesfay in Barcelona, and why it's the de factor WR, but may be as questioned as the incumbent WR by Ruth Chep'ngetich. Another dramatic finish in Los Angeles, a marathon decided by 0.01s where the 'loser' went the wrong way, and didn't, apparently, take in a single gram of carbohydrates in the race.While on the subject of dramatic finishes, recent research shows that the odds of a cardiac arrest are significantly higher in the final kilometer of running races (20km and half marathon). We compare that to triathlons, where the odds of cardiac arrests are way higher in the first part of the race, in the swim. We discuss the physiology and emotional reasons for these risk increases.We then move into the resistance training space, to talk briefly about the American College of Sports Medicine's position stand on resistance training. It says what many people know, but challenges what a lot of people think, and the reaction has been enlightening!And finally, a few short results and discussion points from around the world of sport, including an unprecedented reversal of an entire tournament result, and a rare "defeat" (on a technicality) for Johannes Klaebo in cross-country skiingLinksRelevant to the discussion on recovery after high intensity efforts, here's an article on how our 'battery' is recharged, or reconstitutedArticle on Fotyen's 2:10:51 marathonGood insights on Fotyen from Letsrun.comThe research out of Paris showing the higher risk of cardiac events in the final kilometer of racesA similar study on cardiac arrests in triathlonThe LA Marathon finish and race are discussed in this articleThe ACSM Position Stand on Resistance TrainingStuart Phillips' posts on the ACSM Position Stand on Resistance Training Hosted on Acast.

In this edition of EMS One-Stop, Rob Lawrence is joined by Bob Davies and Hilary Gates to explore the mission behind Six Minutes to Live, a growing movement focused on improving survival from sudden cardiac arrest. | MORE: ‘Six Minutes to Live': Mini-documentary spotlights cardiac arrest care crisis The conversation begins with the stark reality that every minute without CPR and defibrillation reduces survival by 10%, and then widens into a larger discussion about injustice, geography and system performance. Bob reflects on his landmark USA Today investigation into EMS disparities across the country, while Hilary explains why this issue remains deeply personal and why communities, not just medical systems, must be part of the solution. The episode then turns from problem to action. Hilary and Bob describe how Six Minutes to Live is using storytelling, advocacy, community partnerships and public training to drive change, especially through bystander CPR education, school-based training and public access defibrillation. From Santa Cruz to the Resuscitation Academy in Seattle, the emphasis is on making the simple feel possible: hands-only CPR, early defibrillation and empowering ordinary people to act. The result is more than a nonprofit or a campaign. As Rob notes, this is a movement. Memorable quotes “For every minute that a person's heart has stopped, their chance of survival decreases by 10%.” — Hilary Gates “Life and death is defined by geography.” — Bob Davies “There are vulnerable, voiceless people living on the margins who need a voice.” — Hilary Gates “The main way that people save more lives is they care.” — Bob Davies “Every podcast that Hillary and I are involved with is actually sponsored by R&D.

  Welcome to the Prehospital Emergency Care Journal Podcast! In this Deep Dive episode, host Maia Dorsett speaks with Aaron E. Robinson, Sarah K. S. Knack, and Michael C. Perlmutter about their paper, Trends in Prehospital First-Attempt Use of Supraglottic Airways in Non-Cardiac Arrest Patients: A Descriptive Study. The conversation explores how airway management in EMS may be evolving, including growing interest in supraglottic airways as a first-line approach rather than solely a rescue device. The authors discuss key airway concepts—such as RSI, DSI, and rapid sequence airway—and review what their national dataset reveals about current practice patterns. Along the way, they examine variations in medication strategies, including the continued use of sedation-only approaches and airway placement without neuromuscular blockade or medications. The discussion raises important questions about how EMS clinicians balance speed, safety, and skill maintenance when managing critically ill airways in the field.   Featured Article Robinson, A.

How can cardiac arrest data be used to create quality education for EMS clinicians? In this episode, hosts Maia Dorsett, Rob Lawrence and Hilary Gates are joined by quality improvement experts Kerby Johnson, Clinical Quality Research Coordinator for the Office of the Medical Director at Fort Worth Fire Department EMS, and paramedic Kevin Gustina from Perinton EMS to explore how systems can use data to drive smarter education and better cardiac arrest outcomes. From the power of the Cardiac Arrest Registry to Enhance Survival (CARES) to monitor-level insights and process measures, the group discusses how agencies—large and small—can turn performance data into meaningful training. They share real-world lessons, down to the seemingly small tweaks, on improving time to first shock, high-quality CPR and team-based resuscitation. The conversation highlights how looking at your data and being purposeful about simulation and team practice can transform teams. Because in resuscitation, neurologically-intact outcomes is what matters. Ginger Locke highlights the episode's key points with her "Mindset Minute."

Just days after Christmas, 27-year-old Offaly camogie player Aisling Brennan collapsed suddenly while at a friend's house. With no warning signs and at the peak of her fitness, she had suffered a cardiac arrest. CPR from those around her and a defibrillator shock within minutes saved her life before she was airlifted to hospital and placed in an induced coma.Now back training and urging others to learn CPR, Aisling joins Seán to discuss.

Friends and family have paid tribute to a popular restaurant manager – saying the “inspiring” young woman died “far too young”.  Charlotte Redsell was a much-loved and well respected boss at Fish 55 in Rochester but the community was rocked by her death last October at the age of just 26.  Also in today's podcast, a killer captured on CCTV shouting "I've got a nice surprise for you" as he swung a machete-style blade at his victim before chasing him to his death has been jailed for 16 years. Chris Maclean could also be heard yelling "Game over" after the pursuit of Jay Gerrett in Sittingbourne tragically ended with him falling from a height of 13ft down an embankment and retaining wall into the path of a passing car on the road below. A window cleaner whose heart stopped nine times while he was working at a pub admits it is a “miracle” he is still alive. Joe Carver suffered a cardiac arrest while on a job in November 2025 – he spokes to us and says it was the wake up call he needed.  You can hear from a Kent teen who only last summer left school but is now running her own business. 18-year-old Daisy Webb has opened The Boat and Bean cafe bar in Wateringbury after deciding university was not for her.  And in football, after a disappointing 3-nil defeat last time out, Gillingham head to Barrow this weekend. They've dropped to 16th in the league two table and are 12 points off the play-offs – we've spoken to defender Robbie McKenzie ahead of the match.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – McKinney has become one of the nation's first “4-Minute Cities,” meaning an automated external defibrillator (AED) is never more than four minutes away when a cardiac emergency strikes. Those four minutes can mean the difference between life and death, brain damage and full recovery, tragedy and another chance...

In this (rather delayed!) October round-up, Iain Beardsell and Simon Carley catch up on recent St Emlyn's blog posts and papers that continue to shape emergency and resuscitation practice. The discussion moves across trauma, analgesia, cardiac arrest physiology, emergency department systems, and antimicrobial stewardship—less about novelty, more about what actually holds up on shift. Trauma and haemorrhage The episode opens with a discussion of the FIRST-2 trial, examining fibrinogen concentrate and prothrombin complex concentrate versus fresh frozen plasma in severe traumatic haemorrhage. Despite promising physiological theory, the trial shows no meaningful reduction in blood product use compared with standard care, reinforcing the ongoing role of FFP in early trauma resuscitation. Upper limb injuries and regional anaesthesia The team explore the SUPERB trial comparing supraclavicular brachial plexus blocks with Bier's blocks for upper limb reductions. Both techniques provide excellent analgesia. The conversation reflects on changing practice, procedural sedation pressures, ultrasound access, and how physical space—not evidence—often dictates what we do. Cardiac arrest: signals worth paying attention to Three recent cardiac arrest papers are reviewed, focusing on physiological markers rather than new devices: End-tidal CO₂ as a CPR quality target Ventilation strategies during arrest, including chest-compression-synchronised ventilation Cerebral oximetry as a potential prognostic signal These are not definitive answers, but they point towards cardiac arrest management that is more physiological and less ritualistic. Emergency department systems: repair, not reinvention A reflective discussion on “designer repair” challenges the idea that emergency departments need constant transformation. Instead, the focus shifts to recognising and supporting the clinicians quietly holding fragile systems together every day—and why fixing small, broken things often matters more than grand redesigns. Sepsis and antibiotics The episode closes with a critical look at broad-spectrum antibiotic use in suspected sepsis. Observational data suggest significant overtreatment and real harm, reinforcing the need to pause, think, and choose the right antibiotic—not just the fastest one. This episode is a reminder that good emergency medicine is rarely about silver bullets. It's about judgement, physiology, and paying attention to what actually works in the real world.

Right on the heels of the release of the 2025 AHA guidelines, including one on preferentially using IVs over IOs, comes two RCTs in the same edition of NEJM that compare intial attempts with IVs to IOs in out of hospital cardiac arrest. Dr Jarvis discusses these two papers while answer a listeners question, and tries to put this, and early epinephrine, into context. And he might throw in some commentary about the AHA's recommendations on mCPR and Heads Up CPR.Citations:1. Couper K, Ji C, Deakin CD, et al.

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.
