In this conversation, we will explore some of the lessons learned through years of major incident attendance in Scotland from the Emergency Medical Retrieval Services (EMRS). We examine the Scottish Trauma Network, the demographics of healthcare in Scotland, and some of the recent and seminal major incidents that have informed EMRS's approach. We also include some of the lessons learnt through the Manchester bombings – that of paediatric triage and treatment in Mass Casualty incidents. We examine some of the lessons learnt through using CSCATTT, METHANE, activation and tasking, communications both remotely and at site, preferred triage tools and much more.   To do this I have John Paul Loughrey with me. JP is a Consultant in Emergency Medicine at the QEUH in Glasgow and has worked with EMRS in a variety ous roles since 2011. He is the Major Incident lead for ScotSTAR and is Vice-President of the Royal College of Emergency Medicine. In addition, his other main professional interests include major trauma care, teaching and training and organising large-scale CPD events and conferences.

In this conversation, we will examine the concept and the reality of psychological burnout among Paramedics. The effects of burnout are estimated to cost over $300 billion annually, with the WHO forecasting a burnout pandemic in the next decade. Within pre-hospital organisations, burnout can generate reduced quality, high absenteeism, increased turnover rates and substandard productivity. In the conversation, we examine the definition of burnout, the factors that increase the risk of burnout, models of burnout, the symptoms of burnout, possible mitigation strategies to avoid burnout, some of the emergent themes from the research and much more. To do this I have Liz Thyer with me. Liz is an Associate Professor in the WSU Paramedicine program and Associate Dean (Learning and Teaching) for the School of Health Sciences.  She was an advanced life support paramedic with Ambulance Victoria for 11 years including roles as a clinical instructor and peer support officer. She has previously worked at Victoria University with the Paramedic programs and at Deakin University in Learning Futures.  She is an active member of the Australasian College of Paramedicine and is the inaugural chair of the ACP Professional Standards Committee.

In the conversation, we examine the definition of addiction, the meta-substances (stimulants, sedatives, opioids), the time horizon of an addicted person (instant gratification), the triggers of addiction, the diagnosis of dependence, what dependence means, and the types of addictions (work, sex, drugs, diet, exercise).  We explore two of the most addictive substances, alcohol and tobacco, and their second-order effects on health, family, and relationships. We will also look at the complications of addiction and lastly, the modern treatments and monitoring post-treatment that can be beneficial to the individual.   To do this I have Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Brian Wells with me, Brian specialises in Substance Disorders and has an international scope of clients.  He leads a bespoke, discreet, service that works closely with most of the 'quality'​ addiction treatment facilities globally. His specialities include addictive disorders and medical and surgical referrals where appropriate. His clinical specialities include: - Individuals and families suffering the consequences of addictive disorders- Medical and surgical referrals where appropriate - Working with regular or local providers (family doctors, therapists etc.) where possible, but are available for alternative opinions and referrals. A fantastic lecture on addiction from Brian can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDgNj7x6FSs Dr Wells can be contacted here for his services and consultation: drbrianwells@gmail.com My thanks to Dr Wells for a fascinating and engaging interview.

The control of major hemorrhage (called “hemostasis”) is the territory of paramedics and trauma surgeon in normal times. In survival scenarios, however, the family medic is unlikely to be either of these. Although direct pressure on a bleeding wound may stop the bleeding, there are times when it just ain't enough. In such cases, tourniquets are the best first course of action, but they can't stay on there forever. While tourniquets, gauze rolls, and Israeli battle dressing will help stop bleeding, they don't have anything special in them that specifically aids in the clotting process. In the last several decades, however, special substances have been identified that can help control the loss of blood. If you know how to properly use them in an emergency, often in conjunction with a tourniquet, you'll increase an injured patient's chances of survival. Off the grid, having a supply of these will save lives. Dr. Joe Alton and Amy Alton talk about different hemostatic dressings, including some improved ones that can still serve as a way to stop bleeding. All this and more on the latest Survival Medicine Podcast with Dr. Bones and Nurse Amy! Hey, find out about all the latest materials for the survival medic in the brand-new greatly expanded 4TH EDITION of "The Survival Medicine Handbook: The Essential Guide for When Help is NOT on the Way", available at Amazon and at store.doomandbloom.net! And don't forget to get more medically prepared with our entire line of kits, individual supplies, and personal protection gear (including N95 masks)! You'll be glad you did.

  INTRO Eric –Welcome to episode #31  of the Canadian Prepper Podcast, recorded July 31  2019. My name is Eric, and I’m the host of the show.  I am based in southern Ontario. I’m a hunter, target shooter, HAM radio operator (VE3EPN), and computer geek. I got into preparedness when I was working front line in emergency services and witnessed an over reliance on Emergency Services during major events, such as ice storms, power outages, etc. I started a small preparedness company to help get people prepared and able to look after themselves for at least 72 hours, if not longer. Alan - I’m Alan, and my friends and family call me a safety nerd. My background as a First Responder developed a mind for safety. I teach first aid and coach family and friends to be better prepared. I'm a locksmith by trade and have worked in the physical security industry for more than 20 years now. Andrew - Normally you can listen to me hosting Canadian Patriot Podcast. I’m  a recovering libertarian, competitive shooter, and firearms instructor at Ragnarok Tactical. Use the discount code “patriot” at checkout on Ragnarok Tactical to save 10%. We specialize in selling traumatic first aid supplies, and I’m a Stop the Bleed instructor.    Gavin - Business owner, gun owner, volunteer first responder, regular CPP Panelist, Instructor with Ragnarok Tactical and International man of mystery Eric – We have some critical care  content for you in this episode,  We’re going to start off with some news articles relating to preparedness and the outdoors. Next we will be letting you know how we’ve improved our preparedness since our last episode.  Then we’ll get into the main topic for this episode - Individual First Aid kit contents and construction.     News - Alan - https://globalnews.ca/news/5705538/garlic-festival-shooter/ Kudos to the reporter at Global for identifying the firearm used as a ‘semi-automatic rifle’ and nothing else. The event was protected by fences and metal detectors. Police on site killed the shooter within a minute. It does go to show that when seconds count, the police are only minutes away. Andrew -  Gavin -  Eric -  https://ottawa.ctvnews.ca/mobile/acute-intoxication-blamed-for-massive-fish-kill-in-ottawa-river-1.4514243?cid=sm%3Atrueanthem%3Actvottawa%3Apost&utm_campaign=trueAnthem%3A+Trending+Content&utm_content=5d3132850ca7240001cbb17a&utm_medium=trueAnthem&utm_source=facebook&sfns=mo WHAT WE’VE DONE LATELY for preps Andrew - This week is loading more 223 rifle ammo.  Alan - been a long week of school and training. I can throw hose like champ now, and every muscle in my body hurts. I did some fire tinder prep cutting up limbs and clearing the property of further hazards Gavin - bought a giant berky Eric - Got out on the range and took the AR-15 for a spin. . . also gave the 9mm and 22 pistol some attention as well   Main Topic -  Eric - Alright, it’s time to move onto the main topic of the show. (Each host insert talking points here) Alan - What is an IFAK? Individual First Aid Kit is a fairly generic term, but the essence is that it’s the tools you need to save a life (your own, mostly).  Basic contents:  Tourniquet Pressure Dressing Hemostatic Gauze Chest Seal Medical gloves (not black. Any colour but black. The lighter the better) If you don’t know how to use these things, take a StopTheBleed class (if you’re Toronto way, Ragnarok Tactical offers them, if you’re in SouthWestern Ontario, message me and I’ll set one up) Chest seals: not covered by the STB curriculum, but an important tool to have. It’s a one-way valve that allows air to escape a penetrating chest wound without allowing air to enter the plural space between the lung and the chest wall from the outside. A combat medic told me once that the best tool to help with a chest seal is duct tape. On hairy or wet (sweaty/bloody) skin, they can fail. Duct tape around the edges keeps them in place. The guy who’s bleeding won’t mind the wax job on his chest, I promise. I challenge everyone who owns a gun, hunts, fishes, hikes, camps, or spends any time more than 3 minutes from an ambulance to build and know how to use an IFAK. There are a million stories of unintentional trauma that causes death because someone couldn’t stop the bleeding.    Andrew - First off, I’m not an expert, but I am a Stop the Bleed Instructor, and I have received training on all the products I sell and some we don’t. I’m not a doctor, nurse, EMT, and odds are you aren’t either, so get training and understand what you are able and qualified to do. The time to make decisions is now, not when you see someone bleeding to death Why do you want an IFAK? What is an IFAK? Improved First Aid Kit, Blowout Kit, Ventilated Operator Kit. A first aid kit that is able to address massive traumatic injury. What are you trying to do? Keep someone from dying until you can hand them over to a higher level of care. How do we go about that?  MARCH Protocol vs ABCs Airway Breathing Circulation  Major Hemorrhaging Airway Respirations Circulation Head Injuries, Minor Hemorrhaging, Hypothermia/Shock Major HemorrhagingMassive hemorrhage is managed through the use of tourniquets, hemostatic dressings, junctional devices, and pressure dressings.Tourniquet. CAT, SOFTT-W, or SAM.Hemostatic dressings. Celox vs Quickclot AirwayAirway is managed by rapid and aggressive opening of the airway Nasopharyngeal Airway, NPA. Standard size is 28 Fr. Get lube. OPA get training RespirationsRespirations and breathing is managed by the assessment for tension pneumothorax and aggressive use of needle decompression devices to relieve tension and improve breathing.Not breathing - Rescue Breaths, pocket mask, or BVMTension pneumothorax - Chest Seal or Needle Decompression Kit CirculationTCCC promotes the early and far forward use of blood and blood products if available. Standard methods for circulation improvement, such as laying the patient flat, maintaining body temperature and careful fluid resuscitation all apply Head Injuries & Hypothermia/Shock Where to keep your IFAK Car Home Bag/Purse/Pocket/Ankle holster Range bag/belt/plate carrier Building your IFAK Pick a size, set a budget, expand later.  US Army IFAK - The Granddaddy of IFAKS - Iraq circa 2003 1 Tourniquet 1 Elastic bandage kit (this is similar to a field dressing) 1 Bandage GA4-1/2” 100’s 1 Surgical adhesive tape 1 Nasopharyngeal airway kit 4 Surgical gloves 1 Combat gauze dressing Minimum IFAK Contents Tourniquet - Massive Hemorrhage pressure dressings. - Massive Hemorrhage Additional IFAK Contents Shears Gloves Sharpie/Permanent marker Sterile/non-sterile gauze Pocket mask - Respiration hemostatic dressings - Massive Hemorrhage Advanced IFAK Contents NPA - Respiration Decompression Needle - Respiration Other goodies Splints Sutures  Tape Burn treatments BVM IVs/Fluids Emergency Blanket/Reflector Blanket Cervical collar Medications; Epinephrine, Naloxone  On purchasing first aid supplies; Some items requires the buyer to have training (quikclot) Other items are frequently counterfeit (tourniquets on Amazon) Some items expire or lose efficacy over time (medications/hemostatic) Some expiration dates don’t necessarily mean the product is no good (expiration dates on sealed sterile bandages) Naloxone is free in Ontario Tourniquets may degrade over time if exposed to UV light or other conditions There are other kinds of tourniquets. Refer to the Council on Tactical Combat Casualty Care for a list of tourniquets that meet their requirements, get a good one If a tourniquet does not work, apply another  Tourniquets should never be lossend, only removed in a hospital setting More is always better, bigger is almost always better  Shipping packaging should be removed before packing a kit, sterile packaging should remain sealed and staged appropriately  Ian questions -    Brand preferences for IFAK pouches, shears…..ie CTOMS, etc? Any training available for TCCC? Rough cost to budget for a proper IFAK?   Where do the hello kitty bandages and tampons come into play? PODCAST CHALLENGE Get a tourniquet. A real one. Not an amazon POS that will break the first time it’s used. Make it part of your EDC whether it’s in your backpack, car, cargo pocket, whatever. Think about your worst case scenario and be able to control bleeding.  Get a Naloxone kit from your local pharmacy   Episode Closing Upcoming events Eric - Last episode on google hangouts.   If we miss a week, we have not quit!  .

Most of us have dutifully gone to get a Tetanus shot when we stepped on a rusty nail, but few have any real concept of what Tetanus is and why it is dangerous. Tetanus (from the Greek word tetanos, meaning tight)  is an infection caused by the bacteria Clostridium Tetani.  The bacteria produces spores (inactive bacteria-to-be) that primarily live in the soil or the feces of animals. These spores are capable of living for years and are resistant to extremes in temperature. Tetanus is now rare in the U.S. but what if you're thrown off the grid by a disaster? Expect a resurgence of this possibly deadly infection as times goes on. Joe and Amy discuss. An especially persistent cause of diarrheal disease from contaminated recreational waters is Cryptosporidium. Also known as “Crypto”, the organism survives for a longer time than other pathogens and is not uncommon in waterways. In high-density areas like pools, hot tubs, and water parks, Crypto is responsible for the grand majority of those made ill from contaminated water. Find out more about what it is and what you should do to stay safe from Dr. Joe Alton. Hemostasis is just another word for bleeding control. Knowledge of the appropriate use of these agents in an emergency will increase the injured patient’s chance of survival. Despite this, few people have a reasonable supply in their medical kits, and in times of trouble, they might wish they did. Joe and Amy discuss the most popular products.

Disinformation is one of Russia's favorite weapons of war, and accidentally amplifying it can harm civilians. Another easy step is to donate money. Most large international aid organizations, including UNICEF, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), the International Committee of the Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, and the International Rescue Committee, are currently working in Ukraine and neighboring countries, where a growing number of displaced people are fleeing.Here are a few local/grassroots organizations who are accepting online donations:Voices of Children is a Ukraine-based aid organization that provides psychological support to children who have witnessed war. It uses art therapy and storytelling to support children's wellbeing, and provides financial support to families who have suffered as a result of war.The International Rescue Committee has a long history of providing resources to refugees fleeing countries facing humanitarian crisis. Its leaders have responded to the situation in Ukraine by meeting with organizations in Poland and Ukraine to gauge the potential number of refugees and their needs so it can quickly mobilize and provide whatever assistance is needed. You can make a donation via its website. While the organization will accept donations of any size, it states on the site that a monthly donation of $108 will provide eight families with temporary shelter.Vostok SOS, which is also based in Ukraine, partners with German-Swiss NGO Liberico to provide immediate evacuation support to Ukrainians attempting to flee their homes. Vostok maintains a hotline for Ukrainians in need and, going forward, hopes to provide trauma support to victims of the Russian invasion.Malteser International, a nonprofit based in Malta, has been collecting “everyday” supplies for Ukrainians who have been forced to flee their homes. “What is especially needed are everyday medicines, as well as cots, blankets, food, and cash to provide for the many people affected,” Oliver Hochedez, head of Malteser International's emergency relief department, said in a public statement.Sunflower of Peace was started five years ago as a fundraiser to provide backpacks with first aid and medical supplies to front-line doctors, and is currently providing backpacks to Ukrainian soldiers, citizens, and volunteers. According to its fundraising information, “Each backpack is designed for groups of 5 to 10 people and includes a variety of first aid supplies: bandages, anti hemorrhagic medicine like Quikclot and Celox, medical instruments, and a means for survival in extreme conditions.” Donate through the fundraising page on Facebook.  Revived Soldiers Ukraine funds medication and medical supplies for field and army hospitals at the front lines of eastern Ukraine. It was founded in 2016 and has since brought 50 wounded Ukrainian soldiers to U.S. hospitals for care. How you can help: The organization's president, Iryna Vashchuk Discipio, said they urgently need monetary donations to buy medication and to repair a car used to rush injured soldiers away from the front lines.BStrong, founded by Bethenny Frankel, provides emergency assistance to people in crisis, in partnership with Global Empowerment Mission. They've committed to $10M in aid distribution to help those affected in Ukraine, in addition to on-the-ground support. Donate here.
