Coco Wham is a paramedic at the Denver Health Paramedic Division. She is also a 4th year medical student and has a masters in integrated sciences.  She is an author on a recent study in the American Journal of Surgery with our previous guest, Dr. Eric Campion.  Their latest study looked at prehospital ETCO2 values and if they were predictive of death and need for massive transfusion as compared to commonly accepted measurements, such as systolic blood pressure and shock index.  The new study is titled, "Prehospital ETCO2 is predictive of death in intubated and non-intubated patients."  We discuss this study with her and what's next for this research.  We also touch on why prehospital providers should get involved with research.

Can End Tidal CO2 Predict Mortality in Hemorrhagic Shock? Part 2 with Paramedic Courtney ”Coco” Wham

Paramedic training is over, you’re in the front seat now. Whether day 1 or day 1,000 you can’t shake the fear you’re underprepared. You were taught to systematically decide if A... do B. But what if “A” wasn’t in the book? The truth is each emergency call is too unique to teach the right response to every situation. We need to go beyond algorithmic thinking and understand deeper principles, the WHY behind the algorithm. When every decision counts you want to rely on a framework that will guide you when things don’t make sense. Loud & Clear: EMS Guiding Principles is your resource to build that framework. Through discussions with experts, review of evidence-based best practices, and real-world case studies we teach you one step past what you learned in paramedic school. But all of this advanced education is connected back to the guiding principles that answer the question- “at the end of the day, what actually matters to the patient I have in front of me?” Our mission is to elevate your practice and help you improve patient outcomes in every emergency situation. You may not feel ready, you may not feel like you know enough, but by understanding the guiding principles of emergency medicine you can become an expert EMS clinician. Because what you do matters.
