    Episode 124 - Canine Care w/George Tarver III
    Nov 18 2024

    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.

    Episode 123 - To Treat or Not to Treat: Hypertension
    Oct 21 2024

    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.

  • Episode 122 - Stay Positive When Preoxygenating (PREOXI Trial)

    Episode 122 - Stay Positive When Preoxygenating (PREOXI Trial)
    Sep 30 2024

    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.)
