Delivering the news of death is one of the hardest yet most overlooked skills in emergency medicine. Many learn by watching others or through trial and error rather than structured training (or just make it up as they go). This lack of preparation can lead to discomfort, stress, avoidance, and even systemic failures in how death notifications are handled. In this episode, we explore the critical components of death communication, how to navigate these difficult conversations with clarity and compassion, and why avoiding or mishandling these moments can have lasting consequences for both providers and families. Finally, we discuss the emotional toll of secondhand grief and the importance of proactive mental health care for those on the front lines of healthcare.

  What if the lessons learned from a conflict zone could transform military medicine worldwide? Join us as we promise to reveal groundbreaking insights into combat casualty care with John Quinn, MD, MPH, PhD, EMT-P, a leading voice in Emergency Medicine and Combat Casualty Care. Dr. Quinn shares his experiences and pivotal lessons from the war in Ukraine, providing an in-depth look at how military medical operations have evolved in response to the challenges faced in high-stakes environments. Gain valuable knowledge on damage control, resuscitation, and the strategic decisions made from the point of injury to more advanced medical roles.    The complexities of combat medicine are not for the faint-hearted. In this compelling episode, we confront the realities of triage and care under fire, with medical personnel often working without senior guidance amidst the chaos of large-scale combat. Our discussion sheds light on the critical importance of Tactical Combat Casualty Care and the intricate decisions around tourniquet use when resources are stretched thin. Dr. Quinn emphasizes the skills required to manage such intense scenarios, ensuring listeners understand the vital balance between operational readiness and effective medical intervention.     Handling pain management and blood supply logistics in conflict zones is no small feat. We explore the intricate challenges of ensuring adequate supplies and effective pain medication, particularly in the context of Ukraine's ongoing conflict. Dr. Quinn delves into the necessity of a robust supply of universal donor blood and the pressing need for improved clinical governance to support pre-hospital blood transfusion capabilities. The episode addresses the pressing issue of antimicrobial resistance and antibiotics' critical role in these settings, highlighting the need for structured guidance and oversight to navigate the complexities of treating diverse patient populations. Chapter Timestamps 00:02 Military Medicine and Operational Readiness 09:30 Combat Medicine and Triage Challenges 14:08 Challenges in Pre-Hospital Pain Management 17:43 Combat Medic Challenges and Solutions   Chapters with Summaries (00:02) Military Medicine and Operational Readiness This chapter explores the insights and experiences shared by Dr. John Quinn, the lead author of a pivotal article on pre-hospital lessons from the war in Ukraine, focusing on damage control, resuscitation, and surgery from point of injury to role two. Dr. Quinn, with a background as a paramedic and emergency medicine physician, recounts his involvement in Ukraine since 2014, highlighting the evolution of military medical operations up to the large-scale invasion by Russia. We discuss the collaborative effort behind the article, featuring a diverse team of experts, including traumatology surgeons, paramedics, and academic figures, all working to enhance combat casualty care. Dr. Quinn emphasizes the importance of incorporating Ukrainian academics' insights and using NATO's terminology for lessons learned, providing a comprehensive look at the on-the-ground experiences and challenges faced in providing timely and effective medical care in conflict zones.   (09:30) Combat Medicine and Triage Challenges This chapter addresses the complex challenges faced by medical personnel in large-scale combat operations, particularly in the context of the ongoing conflict involving Russian forces. We explore how medical workers, including international volunteers, are specifically targeted, necessitating unique approaches to operational security, communication, and personal protective equipment. The discussion emphasizes the importance of tactical combat casualty care, especially in making critical triage decisions without the guidance of senior clinical decision-makers. With an overwhelming number of patients and limited evacuation capabilities, medical personnel must navigate the intricacies of tourniquet use, balancing between preventative application and conversion to pressure dressings as per TCCC protocols. The chapter highlights the essential skills required to manage care under fire and the need for timely assessment by qualified providers to reduce morbidity and enhance force effectiveness in the battlefield.   (14:08) Challenges in Pre-Hospital Pain Management This chapter addresses the challenges and intricacies of pain management and blood supply logistics in conflict zones, particularly focusing on the context of Ukraine. We explore the inadequacies of certain medications like Nalbuphine, which can complicate effective pain management when transitioning patients to higher levels of care. The importance of having access to more effective drugs such as ketamine and fentanyl is emphasized, although logistical challenges in their distribution are acknowledged. Additionally, we highlight the critical need for an ample supply of universal donor blood and low-titer O blood products during large-scale combat operations. The chapter underscores the logistical hurdles in ensuring these supplies are available before they spoil and discusses the inadequacy of traditional walking blood banks in high-casualty scenarios, advocating for improved clinical governance to enable broader pre-hospital blood transfusion capabilities.   (17:43) Combat Medic Challenges and Solutions This chapter highlights the critical importance of antibiotics in deployed medical settings, emphasizing the challenges of antimicrobial resistance, particularly in Ukraine. We explore the need for a structured antimicrobial guidance system, informed by biogram data, to prevent inappropriate dosing and resistance. The discussion extends to the complexities of treating diverse age groups, including elderly and pediatric patients, who may have additional medical conditions or require specialized care. Additionally, we stress the significance of clinical governance in ensuring that medical personnel, whether affiliated with NGOs or the military, operate under proper oversight and standards. Finally, we identify the top three priorities for improvement: ensuring an unlimited supply of low-titer universal donor blood, enhancing training and clinical decision-making, and leveraging data for effective medical logistics and planning.   Take Home Messages: Evolving Military Medical Practices: The podcast delves into the evolution of military medical operations in Ukraine, highlighting the lessons learned from the ongoing conflict.

Ieva Jusionyte (Ph.D., EMT-P) is a legal and medical anthropologist and a certified emergency medical responder. She is the Watson Family University Associate Professor of International Security and Anthropology at Brown University. Born and raised in Lithuania, Jusionyte earned her B.A. degree in political science from Vilnius University and her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in anthropology from Brandeis University, in Massachusetts. Before coming to Brown, she was John L. Loeb Associate Professor of the Social Sciences at Harvard University. Jusionyte studies borders, law, and violence, and is the author of three books, including multiple-award winning Threshold: Emergency Responders on the U.S.-Mexico Border (2018), which received the 2019 Victor Turner Prize In Ethnographic Writing and the 2020 SAW Book Prize. Her new book, Exit Wounds: How America's Guns Fuel Violence Across the Border, is coming out in April 2024. Jusionyte has held fellowships from the Harvard Radcliffe Institute and the Fulbright program, and her fieldwork and writing have been supported by the National Science Foundation, the Andrew M. Mellon Foundation, the Wenner Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, and the Rockefeller Foundation's Bellagio Center. In addition to research articles published in flagship scholarly journals (Cultural Anthropology, American Anthropologist, Political and Legal Anthropology Review, and others), Jusionyte's writing has appeared in The Atlantic, the Los Angeles Times, The Boston Globe, and The Guardian, and she's been the featured guest on NPR's “The Takeaway” and “Forum.” Apart from her scholarly pursuits, Ieva Jusionyte is a trained EMT, paramedic, and wildland firefighter, and spent five years volunteering in fire and rescue departments in Massachusetts, Florida, and Arizona. She lives in Boston. Ieva Jusionyte explains how firearms made and sold in the United States have played a significant role in the perpetration of violence across the border in Mexico. Mexico strictly regulates the sale of semi-automatic rifles at the federal level, but these weapons are easily available across the border in states like Texas and Arizona. Organized crime groups use funds obtained from illegal drug sales to smuggle weapons purchased in the U.S. into Mexico with devastating consequences. An estimated 200,000 to 500,000 weapons are smuggled across the U.S.-Mexico border every year, and 70% of firearms recovered from crime scenes were purchased in the U.S. Turns the familiar story of trafficking across the US-Mexico border on its head, looking at firearms smuggled south from the United States to Mexico and their ricochet effects. American guns have entangled the lives of people on both sides of the US-Mexico border in a vicious circle of violence. After treating wounded migrants and refugees seeking safety in the United States, anthropologist Ieva Jusionyte boldly embarked on a journey in the opposite direction—following the guns from dealers in Arizona and Texas to crime scenes in Mexico. An expert work of narrative nonfiction, Exit Wounds provides a rare, intimate look into the world of firearms trafficking and urges us to understand the effects of lax US gun laws abroad. Jusionyte masterfully weaves together the gripping stories of people who live and work with guns north and south of the border: a Mexican businessman who smuggles guns for protection, a teenage girl turned trained assassin, two US federal agents trying to stop gun traffickers, and a journalist who risks his life to report on organized crime. Based on years of fieldwork, Exit Wounds expands current debates about guns in America, grappling with US complicity in violence on both sides of the border.

131: Paro cardiaco prehospitalario versus intrahospitalario

ECCPodcast: Emergencias y Cuidado Crítico

Play Episode Listen Later Mar 17, 2024 35:27


Recientemente alguien escribió un comentario relacionado a que el manejo del paro cardiaco fuera del hospital es diferente a dentro del hospital porque el paramédico tiene que realizar todas las intervenciones solo. Le quiero dar las gracias públicamente a la persona que lo hizo, porque es un tema que creo que es súper importante, es un mito que tenemos que cambiar y me dio la motivación para publicar este episodio. Voy a responder a esto desde varias perspectivas. Primero el paciente, como siempre. Voy a explicar por qué el paciente requiere una ejecución de equipo, luego voy a discutir por qué debemos entrenar como equipo, y finalmente cómo respondemos como equipo (y cómo el sistema está destinado al fracaso si solo envía una ambulancia). Ejecutar como equipo Para efectos de esta discusión, existen dos tipos de pacientes en paro cardiaco: los que tienen retorno de circulación espontánea rápida y los que no. Un ejemplo de un paciente que tiene retorno de circulación espontánea es un paciente en paro cardiaco por fibrilación ventricular, que recibe una desfibrilación, y tiene pulso de inmediato. En este primer paciente hipotético, el éxito está en la descarga inmediata. Este paciente va a salir del paro... si le dan la descarga. No importa quién le de la descarga, o si el dispositivo es automático o manual. Lo importante es que reciba la desfibrilación lo antes posible. Entonces, en este ejemplo, cualquier persona que atienda al paciente puede lograr retorno de circulación espontánea, y verdaderamente solo hace falta una persona que haga lo correcto. En cierta manera, este paciente iba a sobrevivir con relativamente pocas intervenciones. Este paciente no requirió acceso IV, no requirió ventilaciones, no requirió más nada. En el segundo paciente hipotético, el ritmo no es desfibrilable, y se comienza la resucitación, se logra un acceso vascular y se administra la primera epinefrina, pero no hay pulso todavía. Este segundo paciente requiere que el equipo identifique cuáles son las posibles causas, y haga intervenciones específicas para tratar esas causas. Ya aquí hay varias intervenciones: compresiones, chequeo de ritmo, acceso vascular, medicamentos, entre otros. El éxito del paciente en paro cardiaco requiere de múltiples intervenciones. El primer aspecto a considerar es el más simple pero NO puede pasar por alto. ¡Dar compresiones cardiacas cansa físicamente! La realidad del caso es que luego de 1-2 minutos, las compresiones no sirven. Si alguien quiere entender esto en más detalle, puede venir a alguna de nuestras clases en ECCtrainings (anuncio público no pagado). Nosotros usamos maniquíes que miden objetivamente la calidad de las compresiones. En el curso de ACLS, usted va a ver las compresiones en un SimPad que le muestra si cada compresión está llegando a la profundidad correcta. El efecto se puede ver tan rápido como 1 minuto. Las compresiones dejan de ser lo suficientemente profundas... y es porque te estás cansando. Pero, todavía tienes reservas de fuerza y puedes comprimir más fuerte para compensar el cansancio... y lo logras. Pero, luego de 2 minutos, tu "100% de esfuerzo" ya no produce compresiones que llegan a las 2". Entonces, luego de 2 minutos, es necesario que haya otra persona que reemplace al que está dando las compresiones. Hay personas que pueden comprimir por más de dos minutos. Pero es importante que los rescatadores estén listos para poder reintegrarse al rol de las compresiones si la reanimación se prolonga demasiado. Un paro cardiaco que dure mucho tiempo (no sé qué es mucho tiempo hoy día... 30 minutos? 1 hora?) va a requerir que los rescatadores tengan que regresar a dar compresiones. Si el que está dando las compresiones no se fatiga demasiado, es posible que pueda descansar en los intervalos de tiempo mientras otros (énfasis en plural) están dando las compresiones, y poder estar listo para regresar. Un ejemplo de cómo NO hacerlo es intercambiar solamente entre quien está dando las compresiones y quien está dando las ventilaciones. Llega el momento en que ambos están fatigados. Yo sé que esto suena a algo trivial, pero resulta que la calidad de estas compresiones es mucho más importante que otras de las intervenciones "avanzadas". Si el líder de una resucitación está pendiente a dar epinefrina cada 4 minutos pero no está pendiente a la calidad de las compresiones, ¡no está haciendo un buen trabajo! En este otro episodio del ECCpodcast discuto cómo el énfasis en sostener compresiones de al menos 2" a lo largo de la reanimación ha tenido un efecto dramático en viabilizar pacientes que antes pensábamos que no eran resucitables. https://www.eccpodcast.com/rcp-de-alta-calidad-por-2-pulgadas/ Entrenar como equipo En el pasado solíamos evaluar individualmente a los participantes del curso de ACLS. El curso de ACLS tuvo un cambio significativo hace unos años atrás. Antes, la evaluación final era individual. Ahora, aunque cada participante es evaluado individualmente, la evaluación ocurre dentro del contexto de un escenario donde tienen que trabajar como equipo. De nada sirve que el líder lo "sepa". Si no se puede ejecutar, no sirve. La realidad del caso es que existen muchos retos cuando se trabaja en equipo. Uno de ellos es la comunicación. Si el líder no puede identificar las prioridades adecuadas y enfocarse en aquellas intervenciones que son más importantes, se diluye en las generalidades de dar compresiones, descarga y epinefrina, o se enfoca en una sola tarea (por ejemplo, la intubación) a expensas de entender qué más está ocurriendo durante la clave. Ya anteriormente he hablado de cómo debemos manejar la vía aérea en el paro cardiaco y cuál es el efecto de perder al líder dentro de la reanimación por hacer un procedimiento si este no es lo que va a afectar el resultado final. Por esta razón, y muchos otros retos que ocurren cuando se trabaja en equipo, es necesario practicar y responder en equipo. Por eso el curso de ACLS evalúa a las personas individualmente, pero en el contexto de un equipo. En este punto ya no estoy estableciendo si es necesario dos o más personas. Estoy estableciendo que es necesario entrenar como equipo. Responder como equipo Este es un ejemplo de "entrena como juegas". La mayoría de los paramédicos trabajan en ambulancias donde solo hay dos personas. Algunos inclusive trabajan solos (literal y figurado, chiste interno). Pero eso no significa que todos los casos se pueden atender solos. Hay pacientes que requieren equipos de trabajo. Un sistema que envía solamente una ambulancia a un paro cardiaco no está diseñado para salvar vidas. Un sistema que envía una sola ambulancia a un paro cardiaco está diseñado para declarar al paciente muerto. Esto es lo que ocurre muchas veces: la ambulancia llega, el paciente está muerto, se establece que lleva "mucho tiempo muerto" y se declara muerto al llegar. En otros casos, llegan a la escena, establecen que está en paro cardiaco, comienzan la RCP mientras lo montan en la ambulancia y lo transportan al hospital dándole RCP. El resultado es el mismo: el paciente acaba declarado muerto. Hoy día sabemos que las compresiones durante el transporte son tan pésimas que el éxito del paciente está en la misma escena. En este otro episodio del ECCpodcast discuto por qué debemos realizar RCP en la escena hasta lograr retorno de circulación espontánea, y cuándo es apropiado iniciar el transporte. https://www.eccpodcast.com/paro-cardiaco-rcp-solo-en-la-escena-o-transporte-con-rcp/ El paciente en paro cardiaco no solamente requiere que hayan múltiples personas, sino que todos lleguen rápido. Entonces, no es viable (para el paciente) que primero llegue una ambulancia, establezca que en efecto están en paro cardiaco, y luego despachen a las demás. La respuesta debe ser simultánea... y esto ya tiene múltiples precedentes dentro de los sistemas de emergencias. Cuando hay un accidente de auto y se sospecha que hay personas atrapadas, es común que se despachen unidades de rescate. Cuando se sospecha que puedan haber múltiples pacientes, despachan múltiples unidades. Siempre va a ocurrir un escenario donde usted es la primera persona en llegar, pero no significa que va a ser la única persona en llegar. Si usted llega a un accidente de auto y la persona está pillada dentro del carro, no es realista pensar que va a poder hacer todo: la extracción y el manejo médico, especialmente cuando el caso requiera de múltiples intervenciones simultáneas para atender tanto el rescate técnico como el cuidado médico. De igual manera, usted puede ser la primera persona en responder a un paro cardiaco, pero tiene que tener la fé que detrás de usted viene un equipo adicional de respondedores. Fuera del hospital: Cómo conseguir 8 compresores con una sola ambulancia No es necesario despachar 5 ambulancias para tener 10 compresores. Lo que hace falta es trabajar como un sistema. Una ambulancia - dos paramédicos Un camión de bomberos - 2-4 bomberos que sepan RCP básica Un camión de rescate - 2 rescatistas que sepan RCP básica Un supervisor En muchas ciudades, los bomberos también son técnicos en emergencias médicas, o paramédicos. Pero, como mínimo, lo que necesitamos es que sepan dar RCP. No es un uso oneroso de recursos. La realidad del caso es que no hay paros cardiacos todos los días. Cuando ocurren, se amerita una respuesta apropiada. Dentro del hospital: cómo conseguir 8 compresores En muchos hospitales, un paro cardiaco puede atraer a 10 personas, quizás inclusive más. Pero yo he visto hospitales, clínicas y unidades pequeñas donde solamente pudieran tener 3-4 personas. Por ejemplo, el activar una clave verde o clave azul o como quiera que la quieran llamar, dentro de un hospital no es exclusivamente para que llegue el médico, sino para que llegue ayuda. Por lo tanto, en algunas unidades de cuidados intensivos es necesario activar una clave cuando hay un paciente en paro cardiaco no porque no haya un médico presente, sino porque hacen falta más person as para correr la clave. En algunos lugares, hace sentido inclusive llamar al 9-1-1 en caso de una emergencia para que venga una ambulancia... no por que tenga la capacidad de transportar al paciente sino por la capacidad de traer más personas para el manejo del paciente. Las 4 paredes que te rodean hace mucha diferencia Suena trivial pero el lugar donde realizamos las intervenciones tiene un efecto en cómo percibimos la realidad de la situación. Para un paramédico, dar RCP dentro de un hospital se siente diferente. Para un enfermero o médico, dar RCP en la calle se siente diferente. Esto se llama factores humanos y puede afectar inclusive al personal dentro del hospital. En ocasiones hay procedimientos que se prefieren hacer en ciertos lugares por ninguna otra razón que conveniencia, a pesar de que el paciente lo necesita aquí y ahora. No me refiero a procedimientos que requieran acceso a otros recursos, como por ejemplo la sala de operaciones, sino procedimientos como intubación, líneas centrales, o cualquier otro aspecto de la reanimación que deba realizarse en el lugar donde está el paciente, pero se retrasa hasta que el paciente llega físicamente a la unidad de cuidados intensivos, por ejemplo. Convierte la escena a tu conveniencia. Paro cardiaco fuera del hospital, tienes TODO el espacio, no quieras montarlo en la ambulancia donde tienes MENOS espacio. Esta foto del paro cardiaco que sufrió Damar Hamlin es bien poderosa. La primera foto muestra la camilla al lado de la escena. Damar Hamlin recibió RCP por 9 minutos en la escena. Damar Hamlin está vivo porque lo atendieron en la escena en vez de montarlo en esa camilla. La segunda foto muestra a todo el estadio observando lo que estaba ocurriendo. Si alguien le dice que le da estrés realizar RCP en público y que esa es la razón por la cual quiere montar al paciente en paro cardiaco dentro de la ambulancia, muéstrele esa foto. https://www.newswest9.com/article/sports/what-caused-damar-hamlin-to-collapse/513-6bf6b3a9-5cce-41af-aebd-5da24d637dde https://youtu.be/2TGJQT-JgPI?si=hifcxE_FN_GHJTdr En el hospital, una forma de convertir la escena a tu conveniencia es cargar con el equipo que sabes que vas a necesitar. Esto es algo que el personal que trabaja dentro del hospital puede aprender de los paramédicos. El equipo de los carros de paro debe ser estándar dentro de una misma facilidad, pero la realidad es que a veces hay algunos equipos, medicamentos o recursos que están disponibles en algunos lugares más que en otros. Si usted tiene este equipo en un bulto que pueda fácilmente llevar consigo cuando responde a un paro cardiaco fuera de la unidad de cuidados intensivos, va a poder convertir la escena donde está el paciente a su gusto y conveniencia. Es imposible replicar todos los escenarios dentro de un curso. Pero sí es posible replicar diferentes escenarios dentro de un curso de ACLS. Algunos escenarios pueden ser en un hospital donde el paciente está en una camilla, y otros escenarios pudieran ser en el piso si el equipo trabaja en una ambulancia. Expertos en resucitación No debe haber diferencia en la calidad de la RCP ofrecida fuera del hospital con la que se provee dentro del hospital. La idea de que el paciente sea transportado al hospital para recibir intervenciones que no hay disponibles en la escena no siempre es correcto y debe ser aplicado solamente cuando haga sentido. Con muy pocas excepciones, tenemos todo el equipo que el paciente necesita, y debemos tener el conocimiento de cuándo y cómo considerar usarlo. Sí existen intervenciones que pudieran ser útiles y que no están disponibles fuera del hospital. Por ejemplo, podemos poner al paciente en ECMO y realizar una trombectomía coronaria o pulmonar durante la resucitación. Pero, si el hospital al que estás transportando NO tiene la capacidad de hacer esto, entonces, ¡qué hacemos considerándolo! De hecho, tenemos equipo que a veces no hay en el hospital. Muchos sistemas de emergencias médicas cuentan con desfibriladores que pueden medir la calidad de las compresiones y, de esta manera, garantizar que podemos medir y corregir en tiempo real la ejecución. Nuevamente, esto es lo que importa. De la misma forma que somos expertos en el rescate de un paciente que está dentro de un vehículo accidentado, tenemos que ser expertos en el manejo del paro cardiaco. Es decir, tenemos que adoptar el manejo del paro cardiaco como una de las destrezas que define la profesión. Mi respuesta a José Saludos José! ¡Gracias por el comentario! El manejo del paro cardíaco hoy día fuera del hospital es igual al del hospital. Los sistemas de cuidado que tienen buenas estadísticas de sobrevivencia a paro cardíaco emplean una respuesta de múltiples unidades, de la misma manera que los bomberos responden a fuegos grandes con múltiples unidades. Desafortunadamente muchos sistemas no proveen una respuesta diseñada para que haya sobrevivencia. El manejo de paro cardíaco requiere un equipo de trabajo. Nuevamente, gracias por el comentario y esperamos verlo en un curso. - Gustavo Flores MD y EMT-P. Precisamente a eso es lo que me refiero. Algunas ciudades en EEUU que han logrado estadísticas consistentes de sobrevivencia, tienen una respuesta de un promedio de ocho a 10 personas para un paro cardiaco fuera del hospital. No son cuatro ambulancias, sino quizás una ambulancia, un supervisor, un camión de bomberos, y 1 unidad de rescate. el punto es que hoy día sabemos que por más conocimiento y buenas intenciones que pueda tener una sola persona, se requiere esa dinámica de equipo para lograr todas las tareas, en relativamente poco tiempo, y un alto grado de calidad consistente. Creo que este es un tema importante, me estoy animando a grabar un episodio del ECCpodcast!! Estoy pensando en el título! Por eso dije antes… Gracias por el comentario porque creo que es un tema bien importante.

CoAEMSP's Executive Director, George W. Hatch Jr., discusses the EMS accreditation journey This episode of Inside EMS is brought to you by Lexipol, the experts in policy, training, wellness support and grants assistance for first responders and government leaders. To learn more, visit lexipol.com. The Committee on Accreditation of Educational Programs for the Emergency Medical Services Professions (CoAEMSP) plans to launch a voluntary programmatic accreditation for Advanced Emergency Medical Technicians (AEMTs) by January. In this episode of Inside EMS1, cohost Chris Cebollero sits down with George W. Hatch Jr., EdD, LP, EMT-P, FAEMS, CoAEMSP's executive director, to discuss the program. Top takeaways AEMT is not just an EMT with additional skills; it requires a broader skill set, including understanding pathophysiology and critical thinking. The decision to introduce voluntary accreditation for AEMT programs wasn't preplanned but came about due to discussions within the EMS community. This accreditation process is voluntary, and programs that choose not to pursue it can continue operating as they do currently. Accreditation will help standardize AEMT programs, improve pass rates on the national registry exam, and enhance the quality of EMS education. The process involves benchmarking programs against a set standard, and programs must satisfy sponsorship requirements. While there is no plan to extend this accreditation to EMT programs at the moment, it may be considered in the distant future if deemed necessary. Accreditation is part of the journey to elevate EMS to a profession and should be supported by those in the field. It's essential to stop complaining about the state of EMS education and start actively contributing to its improvement. Memorable quotes "It's about a process of improvement, a continual process of improvement." — Dr. Hatch "EMS may or may not be the choice that a lot of people want to make. We have to make it attractive and say, this is what you have to do to be in our profession." — Dr. Hatch EMS1 is using generative AI to create some content that is edited and fact-checked by our editors.

Russ burned out on the politics not long after crafting the first AFL-CIO Union affiliation with EMS workers, the California Paramedic's Association. That led him into a quest to experience more of the healing arts, and to use EMS as a metaphor to get medics of all stripes talking about their challenges. Russ became involved in alternative modalities, including body and energy and Human Potential work, along with spiritual counseling. He lived and worked with a traditional Lakota medicine family as fire tender and lived in intentional communities.

#254: The Future of Ketamine-Assisted Therapy and What It Means for Clinic Owners and Their Patients with Christi Myers

Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later May 26, 2022 45:43


Ketamine-assisted therapy is an emerging field that's gaining traction. Today, the medical community is increasingly accepting Ketamine-assisted therapy as a treatment option for those struggling with mental illness and substance abuse. What does this mean for clinic owners, and their patients? In this episode, Jason A. Duprat sits down with Christi Myers, Professor of Emergency Medicine, Assistant Director of Emergency Medical Services for a community college, as well as the Founder, CEO, and Director of Flow Integrative. Flow is a two-pronged approach to psychedelic wellness practiced in her very own Ketamine Clinic. In this episode, Jason and Christi shed light on a variety of topics including the stigmatized term "psychedelic" as well as the realities of mental health.     EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Ketamine-assisted psychotherapy provides people with a different perspective and helps them work on their mental health journey. We all have childhood trauma and understanding that trauma in a psychedelic realm allows assisted therapy to take place. The negative stigma around drugs and psychedelics is mainly due to a lack of understanding. Psychedelic treatment is safe and legal. It has been around for decades and is even included in the WHO's list of essential medicines. An article from 2017 states that Ketamine is naturally produced by an organism they found. Ketamine must be done professionally to avoid unnecessary risks. There's a desperation to heal, but taking drugs unsupervised is not the answer. Wellness is not a one-time thing but is a journey that needs guidance. Psychedelic treatment is not only for moving through depressive states but also for exploring one's consciousness and spiritual being.     3 KEY POINTS Despite the massive stigma, Ketamine treatment is completely safe and legal when medically supervised. Along with the growth of Ketamine-assisted practices, the negative stigma on psychedelics is slowly being dispelled.

Part 5: Reflections on the Unmasked: Profiles in Humanity and Resiliency series. Host Chandra Brown with Imana “Mo” Minard, Dr. Nicolette Louissaint, and Rasheda Hatchett.  Chandra Brown turns the tables on series host Mo Minard, inviting Mo to reflect on her own definition of resiliency and review some of the perspectives shared during the earlier discussions. Mo explores how multifaceted resiliency is, how it is often tied into inner strength, but there are many other moving parts too. She discusses how the pandemic led to a rapidly changing world, particularly in the nursing field, where we found ourselves being forced to be still during lockdown. This stillness allowed many insights to surface and has opened up much needed opportunities for change. The group discusses how important it is to recognize that burnout in nursing is very real, and was a preexisting problem before being exacerbated by the pandemic. Mo advises new nurses to focus on one thing at a time, so that they can avoid being overwhelmed by multitasking. She also shares with us how faith and spirituality are very important aspects of her own resiliency, as are her regular sessions with a therapist, and she shares how these sessions help her define coping strategies. Reviewing the previous discussions, Mo talks about the moments that were highlights for her, including linking opportunity to resiliency, not just bouncing back but bouncing forward, and the importance of taking the time for personal growth. In closing, she reiterates her concern that resiliency is a crisis that urgently needs to be unmasked, requiring us share support with each other, and aiming to be our true, authentic, organic selves.  Concluding this 5-part podcast mini-series featuring five discussions from Imana “Mo” Minard, Dr. Nicolette Louissaint, Rasheda Hatchett and Chandra Brown – four health care professionals who share their personal insights and perspectives about the importance of being resilient despite any trials or tribulations. Sponsored by Johnson and Johnson, the podcasts are candid, transparent and deliver an authentic conversation on how resiliency lets us transcend surviving and move up to a level of thriving. Our podcast host for the series is Imana “Mo” Minard, MSN-ed, RN, CENP, EMT-P, a Director of Nursing for Beaumont Farmington Hills in Southeast MI. She is Certified in Executive Nursing Practice through the American Organization of Nursing Leadership, an award-winning radio host and prominent nurse influencer in Metro Detroit. Nicolette Louissaint, PhD, serves as Executive Director of Healthcare Ready, a non-profit organization that focuses on strengthening the United States' healthcare supply chain preparedness and response before, during and after natural disasters and disease outbreaks. Rasheda Hatchett, MN, RN, is CEO of Hatchett Media, a Coach, Entrepreneur, Author, Speaker and resilience expert. She has deep roots in leading and mentoring women to find their voice and hone their unique leadership vision. Chandra Brown is Executive Director of Lifelines Counseling Services, an independent, nonprofit organization that partners with human service organizations worldwide to improve service delivery outcomes by developing, applying, and promoting appropriate best practice standards.

Part 4: Connecting resiliency with opportunity.  Resiliency One-on-One: Host Imana "Mo" Minard with Chandra Brown. Mo Minard meets with Chandra Brown, Executive Director of Lifelines Counseling Services. Defining resiliency together, they explore the importance of bouncing back from difficult situations and seeing these moments as opportunities. Although we may have experienced moments that required us to endure, we can also see these times as opportunities to be a little better each day. We may also become so focused on our goals that we forget to celebrate the great things we have already achieved in our past, and so sometimes it is important to be in the moment and “just be” with our accomplishments. We can then use that foundation to give ourselves permission to be, to rest, to see the abundance around us, and then focus on achieving the dreams we have within us. Resiliency means we transcend surviving, and move up a level to thriving, where we can allow ourselves to feel the joyful gratitude of being. Chandra explores how holding the hand of opportunity within resilience starts with realizing you may already have all you need.   Fourth in a 5-part podcast series features five discussions from Imana “Mo” Minard, Dr. Nicolette Louissaint, Rasheda Hatchett and Chandra Brown – four health care professionals who share their personal insights and perspectives about the importance of being resilient despite any trials or tribulations.

Resiliency One-on-One: Host Imana "Mo" Minard with Dr. Nicolette Louissaint.  Mo Minard talks with Nicolette Louissaint, PhD, who serves as Executive Director of Healthcare Ready. Together they explore how examining our lives in the context of wholeness helps us choose our best next steps towards resiliency. If we ask ourselves what wholeness looks like, we can then move towards that wholeness with an intentional goal. This way of thinking differs from seeing resilience as simply surviving, and at the same time draws on the many past experiences in our lives that give us strength. Mo and Dr. Louissaint also discuss our new pandemic reality and the challenges of overcoming unprecedented change, which includes defining an understanding of the gift of service, and the power of pouring that gift back into ourselves.  Second in a 5-part podcast series features five discussions from Imana “Mo” Minard, Dr. Nicolette Louissaint, Rasheda Hatchett and Chandra Brown – four health care professionals who share their personal insights and perspectives about the importance of being resilient despite any trials or tribulations.

Part 1: What really is resiliency? Featuring host Imana "Mo" Minard with Dr. Nicolette Louissaint, Rasheda Hatchett and Chandra Brown. We hear a lot about the importance of resiliency, but sometimes it is helpful to step back and really define what something is all about – and what it's not. In this first of a 5-part series led by podcast host Imana “Mo” Minard, MSN-Ed, RN, CENP, EMT-P, a Director of Nursing for Beaumont Farmington Hills in Michigan, our group of experts discuss what resiliency means to them, and why it's important to be thinking and talking about the myths and truths of resiliency right now. The group share their personal insights in a warm and inspirational discussion about how being prepared to ask for support is often just as important as good old strength and determination. Perhaps most importantly, our experts discuss how resiliency is best viewed as a life skill that can be learned and nurtured, rather than something that you either have or you don't.

Mo Minard talks with Rasheda Hatchett, MN, RN, the CEO of Hatchett Media about the importance of organizations creating safe spaces for their people to engage in the personal growth that supports resiliency. Individuals need the space to decide how they will move forward through their struggles, and to figure out the tools they need. Part of this process is deciding whether we already have the tools, or if we also need to ask for help, and to do this we need the people around us to meet us where we are in our walk with resiliency. Sometimes we need to step outside of our lives, take a pen and paper, and take an inventory of where we are, and then we can see the blind spots where growth needs to take place. This is a daily decision we can all take, to take big and bold steps towards the lives we wish to lead. Rasheda suggests we start by taking this inventory, and then using this process of putting pen to paper to choose where it is we want to go next.

Russ Reina stumbled into ambulance work at the birth of Emergency Medical Services and found himself trying to legitimize a new profession. He agitated the systems he was in to support better their EMS workers ("Russ Reina was a burr in the backside of every Emergency Medical Services system he worked in," John Eaglesham, EMT-P, Past Chairman, California Ambulance Association). Russ burned out on the politics not long after crafting the first AFL-CIO Union affiliation with EMS workers, the California Paramedic's Association. That led him into a quest to experience more of the healing arts, and to use EMS as a metaphor to get medics of all stripes talking about their challenges. Russ became involved in alternative modalities, including body and energy and Human Potential work, along with spiritual counseling. He lived and worked with a traditional Lakota medicine family as fire tender and lived in intentional communities. He also delved into performing arts including, writing, acting, stand-up comedy, movie making (Healer, which he wrote, a full-length film, opened the 1994 Santa Barbara International Film Festival) and music. Currently, Russ does photography, writing, counseling and workshops on the island of Maui, where he is a tour guide. - www.russreina.com / www.firetender.org listen to all our XZBN shows, with our compliments go to: https://www.spreaker.com/user/xzoneradiotv*** AND NOW ***The ‘X' Zone TV Channel on SimulTV - www.simultv.comThe ‘X' Chronicles Newspaper - www.xchroniclesnewpaper.com
