Episode 116 - Around the World: HEMS in México w/Daniel Peñaflor

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.

Episode 115 - Me, My Self-Loading Baggage, and I w/Miles Dunagan and Brett Reeder

"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.

Episode 111 - Critical Comfort Care w/Brianna Fields

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. Join us for a discussion with an ICU charge nurse where we tell you how to do so effectively and tactfully.

Episode 110 - The Truth About A-Fib

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? And where should we end up? Dan and Mike will let you know in this podcast episode.
