Though evidence dictates much of what we do as emergency medical providers, some areas remain open to debate: How are we justifying stroke ambulances, CCT speciality teams, AHA guidelines, and our choice of crystalloids? How are we justifying what professionals are allowed to post on social media? And do we agree with the currently accepted norms? Who better to join us in this discussion than Mike Carunchio of The World's Okayest Medic Podcast. Diving into these and other controversial topics, we see if our two platforms can come to a consensus in a randomized, uncontrolled conversation. *Strong opinions were involved in this production. If something challenges your perspective, good—that's the point.

Wet or dry. Air in or out. Reactive or obstructive. The possibilities may seem endless when treating the pediatric patient with undifferentiated respiratory distress. It is confounded by the fact that pediatrics are outside the comfort zone of many novice critical care transport providers. In this podcast episode, neonatal/pediatric specialist Nate Brown eases your worries with concise and effective means of diagnostics and intervention. Primarily, we cover croup, bronchiolitis, and asthma disease processes.

'Tis the season for trauma. (If there truly is a season.) Chest trauma, specifically, can vary in subtlety and severity, primarily due to the presence of multiple vital organs and vessels. In this podcast, we discuss these potentials while focusing on those injuries that are associated with the highest mortality rate. We also discuss why you should think twice before intervening.

Does your patient have high blood pressure? Are they seizing or showing other signs of a neurological disorder? It could be PRES! Unfortunately, Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) is difficult to diagnose unless you are aware of its existence.

Do certifications accurately reflect an individual's qualifications? This is an ongoing argument depending on what side of the exam you are on. How much value should we on that piece of paper? And, regardless, how do we work towards obtaining and maintaining qualifications? In this podcast episode, we discuss it all including Dunning-Kruger Effect and Hierachy of Competence. We also delve into teaching strategies that can help newcomers gain their confidence after achieving whatever got them there in the first place.

Previously, we recorded a podcast episode about the utility surrounding Point of Care Ultrasound (POCUS). In this episode, we apply that knowledge to specific case scenarios as a continuation of our "Breaking the Case" series. We also ask the question, is POCUS really all it's cracked up to be, or should we be re-thinking our approach, particularly in the prehospital setting?

Humans are easy. That's why we are able to do what we do as prehospital providers. But what happens when your patient is a canine? These working dogs are highly regarded by their handlers and require care just like anyone else that may be ill or injured. Considering that, are you equipped to care for them? If not, how can you successfully start and maintain a K9 program at your agency? Tune in to another podcast to discuss this unique topic, but this time, we are joined by HLTH team member Rick Maricle and his colleague George Tarver III.

It can be difficult to determine whether you should treat undifferentiated hypertension or not. Many clinicians are distracted the number rather than focusing on the patient in front of them. Asymptomatic hypertension, in particular, is often benign. In fact, treating asymptomatic hypertension in a patient who a primary medical history of hypertension can harm them. In this podcast, we discuss these adverse effects related to blood pressure physiology, acute versus chronic hypertension, and how you can determine whether anti-hypertensives or other forms of therapy are indicated.

The principles of preoxygenation and passive oxygenation should be familiar to any experienced intubator. Best practice recommends the use of a nasal cannula in conjunction with either a non-rebreather mask or bag-valve mask (BVM) to prevent hypoxemia during the apneic phase of Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI). In the PREOXI Trial, the authors pushed this concept further, questioning whether non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) might be more effective than these formally mentioned adjuncts. In this podcast, we dive into the strengths and weaknesses of the trial and explore whether its findings are truly practice-changing. We might even disagree along the way… (We also provide a rebuttal to some of the feedback we received on our previous podcast episode.)

Not all cardiac arrests are created equal. Whether the presenting rhythm is asystole, ventricular fibrillation, or PEA, these patients require tailored interventions beyond "blanket" protocol and ACLS/PALS algorithms. When refractory to conventional therapy, the pulseless V-Tach/V-Fib patient, in particular, requires critical thinking "outside the box" in order to gain ROSC (Return of Spontaneous Circulation) and preserve neurological outcomes. What are some of the measures we can consider when presented with these refractory patients? We answer that question in this podcast episode.

Interfacility transfers are not always indicated at the time and place of which they are being requested. Whether it's referring provider misinformation or a lack of advocacy by the transport agency, these transfers can result in unnecessary risk for crew members and patients. Specifically, weather conditions, time of day, crew fatigue, and other important factors are not always considered when blindly accepting these transfers. As the transport specialists, how can we ensure that we are accepting and performing these transports safely? In this episode, Austin Wingate provides a holistic method that you, too, can integrate into your own region.

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) plays an essential part in the body's osmotic/fluid balance, sodium homeostasis, and blood pressure regulation. This hormone is synthesized in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary gland. In conditions such as Diabetes Insipidus (DI) and Syndrome of Inappropriate ADH (SIADH), there is a lack of synthesis or over-production of this hormone which results in negative downstream effects. At the request of a podcast listener, we have decided to cover these conditions in this episode. Tune in as we discuss DI (central and nephrogenic), SIADH, and hypo/hypernatremia.

Angioedema is defined by upper airway swelling secondary to an immune response. The trigger and subsequent physiological response are how we categorize it. In this podcast, we discuss how to diagnose and treat both types: IgE/Histamine-mediated and Bradykinin-mediated. We also touch on how to address the difficult airway that may or may not lead to intubation. All in all, do not fear angioedema but respect it.

When discussing methylene blue, management and treatment of methaemoglobinaemia is usually the first indication mentioned. But in this podcast, we challenge you to increase the size of your lense and focus on its benefits in other states (e.g., septic shock). Of course, we could not do this alone, so we invited a Flight Paramedic, Pharmacist, Toxicologist, and Professor to join us. And fortunately for us, they are all the same person. Tune in as Will Heuser helps us discuss the pathophysiology of distributive shock, the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of methylene blue related to its effects on endothelial relaxation, and how this simple dye goes beyond that of salvage therapy when a patient has high vasopressor requirements.

Though we have delved into foreign HEMS systems in the past (See Episode 61 – Down Under Dynamics w/Dr. Cliff Reid), we have not dedicated an entire series to it. Having now rubbed shoulders with many clinicians and operators around the world, it is evident that these conversations need to take place on a regular basis. Why? Because operating in a vacuum can lead to bad decision making. Our new "Around the World" series attempts to mitigate this by interviewing prehospital and intrahospital disciplines from around the world and finding out how they do things, whether for better or for worse when compared to the United States. We begin our series with our neighbors to the south, Mexico. Daniel Peñaflor, Flight Paramedic, joins us to discuss prehospital operations in Guanajuato City. Interestingly enough, you will find out that they are not too dissimilar from us.

"Self-loading baggage" is a derogatory term often used by pilots to describe lazy or disengaged medical crew members in the air medical industry. Whether intentional or not, this behavior sets a bad precedent for those of us that want to embrace aviation cross-training and be able to assist the pilot effectively. In this podcast episode, we are joined by pilots Miles Dunagan and Brett Reeder to discuss how pilots and clinicians alike can be a cohesive team before, during, and after the flight. We touch on complacency, Crew Resource Management (CRM), and specific skills required of an effective air crew.

Go To http://patreon.com/MormonRenegade368 For Exclusive Content   For many years if you were a Mormon who wanted to practice Mormonism outside the mainstream LDS Church you could bet that you would encounter push back. Well today we live in a different world where that push back for the most part is gone. Now this is all well and good but we who enjoy being able to live Mormonism outside the LDS Church owe a debt of gratitude to those older generations that have preserved the truth for us. The best way I can think of repaying that debt is to now come out of the shadows and let our voices be heard. Today I sit down and have a conversation with a woman trying to do just that. Sara Decker comes on to talk about her new podcast “From The Dust”. We talk about here experience in the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ, How & why she made the decision to separate from the LDS Church, Where she got the idea to make a podcast, & what the podcast will cover. Along the way we stop to discuss a wide range of Gospel Principles. https://anchor.fm/saradecker  Go To deseretflag.com to get your Deseret Flag Today https://www.facebook.com/groups/1387509248835311/?ref=share_group_link --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/dave-kirkenbower/support

The Russo-Ukrainian War is an ongoing international conflict between Russia and Ukraine. At times such as these, medical training is essential and sometimes required of laypersons. International Medical Corps partnered with the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative (HHI) to provide comprehensive emergency and trauma care training to healthcare workers, public safety professionals, and the Ukrainian community.

As a critical care clinician, do you consider yourself well-versed in comfort care? Do you consider yourself well-rehearsed in having the discussions leading up to the patient's or family's decision to implement it? This concept may be outside your comfort zone, especially if you work in emergency medicine. But the fact of the matter is, from the prehospital environment all the way to the ICU, we are provided many opportunities for implementation of this type of care plan.

Atrial fibrillation, particularly A-Fib with RVR (Rapid Ventricular Response), is often an emergency requiring emergent intervention beyond ACLS and its associated algorithms. Identification of A-Fib can be challenging in itself, much less trying to determine what intervention(s) are indicated. This includes chemical and/or electrical cardioversion. So where do we start?

Vascular emergencies refer to any time-sensitive condition where perfusion is prevented secondary to bleeding or occlusion of a vessel. These can include, but is not limited to, the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) and aorta. And depending on the severity of the aneurysm or embolism/thrombus, downstream ischemia can significantly impact a patient's quality of life. How do we identify these conditions? When are they classified as a true emergency? And how do we treat patients with the notion that strict hemodynamic parameters are indicated?

Myocardial infarctions can present in a variety of ways depending on vessel involvement, timing of pathology, and interpretation of diagnostics (e.g., 12-lead EKG). Unfortunately, not every patient with a myocardial infarction will fit STEMI criteria's paradigm, which has lead to the adoption of a new term: OMI (Occlusion Myocardial Infarction).

No matter what level of scope, management of medical and traumatic cardiac arrests is the focus of many clinicians. But what happens after return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) is achieved? Many do not appreciate the fact that the likeliness of re-arrest is high. How can we avoid return of spontaneous arrest by appropriately treating the patient during the peri-arrest phase and subsequently improving quality of life? Tune in to another nugget-filled podcast episode where the team discusses everything from etiology identification to treatment methods beyond the scope of PALS and ACLS.

The medical industry puts great emphasis on formal education via university and other training programs. Due to financial incentive, these institutions often discourage independent learning despite it usually having a greater impact on patient care quality. For example, paramedics are often non-degree holders, yet they effectively practice medicine on a daily basis as a result of learning via unconventional methods (e.g., podcasts). How much actual value is in formal education? Do we need a practitioner track for prehospital providers on the university level? And regardless of degree, how can we teach with the goal of long-term retention of information as opposed to simply passing an exam? Tune in to this podcast where we are joined by a pioneer in critical care transport education, Will Wingfield, to discuss.

After being hurt and disaffected by her church experience, with thoughts of suicide, how did former Christian Worship Leader Megan Brown, rediscover her value to God and redefine her purpose? All Heart with Paul Cardall speaks to the 24 year old independent singer/songwriter from Hendersonville, Tennessee about her church experience and the music she's recorded that's giving voice to people like Megan who've been hurt.

Have you heard of the French Paradox before? It refers to the low incidence of mortality rates from heart disease in France, even though the French tend to consume a lot of saturated fat. This has led researchers to try and find other reasons why the French might be so healthy, such as their red wine intake, the fact that they snack less, their smaller portions, etc. In this podcast episode, we're taking a look at The French Paradox and explain what we think of it and why we think the French are generally healthier. Is it time to eat more like the French. Hope you enjoy the show. Intro song credit: Crystals VIP by From The Dust | https://soundcloud.com/ftdmusicMusic promoted by https://www.free-stock-music.comCreative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported Licensehttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/deed.en_US
