Under kalla kriget byggdes ett omfattande nätverk av bunkrar och bergrum över hela landet – från dolda kommandocentraler till självförsörjande skyddsrum. Dessa anläggningar var konstruerade för att motstå attacker och möjliggöra liv under jord i veckor, med egna energikällor och vattenreningssystem.Rykten om hemliga tunnlar och aktiva bunkrar lever kvar, och vissa tror att anläggningar än idag står redo vid en ny kris. Dessa konstruktioner har blivit föremål för många myter och konspirationsteorier. Forumet Flashbacks tråd om Riksbunkern har över 8 000 inlägg.I podden Historia Nu samtalar programledaren Urban Lindstedt med idéhistorikern Peter Bennesved, till vardags verksam vid Totalförsvarets forskningsinstitut.Under andra världskriget byggdes civila och militära anläggningar för att skydda befolkningen. Men under kalla kriget genomsyrade bunkrarna det svenska landskapet – från enkla skyddsrum i stadskärnorna till underjordiska komplex konstruerade för att motstå kärnvapenattacker.Bunkrarna byggdes inte bara av militära skäl utan även för att inge trygghet. Myndigheterna betonade vikten av beredskap men hemlighöll detaljer om de mest strategiska anläggningarna. Detta skapade en dubbel verklighet: en öppen diskussion om civilförsvaret och en hemlig försvarsstruktur.Efter andra världskriget ersattes hotet från Nazityskland av fruktan för Sovjetunionen, vilket ledde till en ny försvarsstrategi där hela samhället skulle kunna motstå en attack. Skyddsrummen blev en integrerad del av stadsbilden och totalförsvaret utvecklades.Under kalla kriget byggdes bunkrar, bergrum och kommandocentraler över hela landet. En del var offentliga skyddsrum, men många var dolda och endast tillgängliga för militära eller statliga funktioner. Bergrumsanläggningar som Hemsö fästning och Aspöanläggningarna var en del av en hemlig försvarsstruktur inför en eventuell sovjetisk invasion.Bunkrarna skulle fungera som självförsörjande enheter under lång tid. Många hade egna energikällor, vattenreningssystem och förråd. Vissa kunde hysa hundratals personer i flera veckor, medan andra var mindre observations- eller sambandscentraler.Många historier om kalla krigets försvarsanläggningar lever kvar. Vissa tror på ett nätverk av tunnlar som förbinder bunkrarna, medan andra spekulerar i att vissa anläggningar fortfarande är operativa.En seglivad myt är att det finns ett dolt tunnelsystem under Stockholm som kopplar samman strategiska byggnader. Enligt vissa teorier skulle det kunna användas av regeringen vid en attack, medan andra tror att det är en kombination av gamla järnvägstunnlar och gångar som med tiden fått en mytisk aura.En av de mest omtalade anläggningarna är Riksbunkern, som enligt rykten skulle fungera som en skyddad plats för regeringen vid krig. Dess exakta plats och funktion är okända, men den sägs vara insprängd i berget någonstans i Stockholmsområdet och utrustad för att hysa landets ledning under en längre tid.Bildtext: Femörefortet i Oxelösund – en av Sveriges mest avancerade kustförsvarsanläggningar under kalla kriget.

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.

Gruset knastrar under fötterna när du steg för steg tar dig upp för höjden där Löfstad slott står. Mellan trädens gröna valv kan du se den gula fasaden – ett bygge från stormaktstidens Sverige. Men Löfstad är inte ett vanligt slott, utan här finns gäster som under åren vägrat lämna. Om nätterna kan fotsteg höras i tomma korridorer och rum 13 är så hemsökt att det sägs vara omöjligt att sova i. Gatan är öde och tyst, där du kör längst gatan i Filippinernas huvudstad. Så ser du plötsligt någon längre fram. Det är en kvinna. Hennes ljusa kläder fångar strålkastarnas sken och reflekterar ett kallt vitt ljus. Hon vinkar, så du saktar in och erbjuder henne skjuts. Den mystiska kvinnan som hoppar in i ditt baksäte ger dig kalla kårar. Det är något med henne som inte stämmer. Trots det kör du nu vidare med henne i bilen. Men när du något senare stannar för att släppa av henne märker du att baksätet är tomt. Kvinnan är spårlöst borta. Det har blivit dags för hemsökta platser. I det här avsnittet så börjar vi i ett slott i Sverige, för att sedan förflytta oss till en hemsökt väg.

In this episode, we take an in-depth look at one of the world's leading HEMS services—London's Air Ambulance (LAA) Charity. This conversation centres around the lesser-known challenges of sustaining and growing a top-tier HEMS service within the UK. From community engagement strategies to high-impact fundraising and marketing campaigns, we uncover what it takes to raise over £16 million to fund two new helicopters. We also go behind the scenes to examine the efforts that brought these aircraft into service, the obstacles the charity faces, and the vital role public support plays in its mission.Joining us is Jayne Clarke, Director of Fundraising and Marketing at London's Air Ambulance Charity. With a strong background in strategic leadership across the charity sector, Jayne brings expertise in marketing, advertising, and ethical banking. She previously worked with McCann Worldgroup before transitioning to purpose-driven roles, including leading major campaigns at the RNLI and serving as Director of Income Generation at St Peter's Hospice. Now, as she steers the charity into an exciting new chapter in 2025, Jayne shares her insights on what it takes to keep this lifesaving service in the air.

A STARS helicopter lands near the bustling scene where Draidyn Wollmann's life is ebbing away from beneath the cutting deck of an industrial lawnmower. Skilled air medical crew members are stunned by what they see but lean on their robust training to quickly begin transfusing blood into Draidyn's only intact arm and taking over his breathing. Both STARS pilots help in whatever way they can. Watch all four STARS crew members talk about their initial reactions in a bonus video at https://stars.ca/missionready.
Teenager Draidyn Wollmann was supposed to be enjoying his first summer job, mowing public lawns for his local municipality, but one terrifying day his industrial mower falls quiet in the sleepy village and Draidyn can't be found. When his boss finally spots the stalled machine behind the community arena, he can't believe where he finds the boy. Watch a bonus video from the community at https://stars.ca/missionready.
As young Draidyn Wollmann fights for life beneath the cutting deck of a stalled industrial mower, emergency responders rush to his aid and STARS is dispatched from more than 60 km away. A ground paramedic soon discovers that a blade from the mower is embedded in the boy's chest and an arm is mostly severed. Responders wonder how they're going to remove the mower without causing further damage. Watch the ground paramedic and STARS transport physician discuss the challenge in a bonus video at https://stars.ca/missionready.

In this episode, we speak with Zoe Hitchcock, whose life took a dramatic turn 11 years ago in 2013. While walking along Oxford Street in London, Zoe experienced a cardiac arrest caused by a cardiac myopathy, resulting in ventricular fibrillation. That day, the saying "it takes a system to save a life" became strikingly evident. Zoe shares her firsthand account of the cardiac arrest, the events leading up to it, and how that moment became a pivotal turning point in her life. We explore what Zoe remembers from that day, the role her husband played in the circumstances leading her to Oxford Street, and the critical challenges faced by the pre-hospital team on the pavement. We'll also discuss the involvement of the HEMS team, her transfer to St. Mary's, and the recovery process that followed. Zoe reflects on how her perspective on life and family has shifted since that day and shares key take-home messages for listeners. This conversation highlights the resilience of the human spirit and the importance of pre-hospital care systems in saving lives.

Högtiden till ära så kör vi ett extra rysligt avsnitt, då vi pratar om den andra sidan.Fall: Bachelor's Grove Cemetary, Haunted lake, Hemsökta Harold & Robert the Doll [REKLAM] Länk Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/spoktimmenKällor: https://www.spoktimmen.se/192KontaktInstagram: @spoktimmen@linnek@jennyborg91 Facebook: Spöktimmen Mail: spoktimmenpodcast@gmail.com Hosted on Acast.

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.

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.
