Country-fiedMD podcast

CFMD sits down with a good friend, now an NP in the mental health field, to tackle anxiety and life in general.  Brittany Long talks therapy, meds, concepts....and maybe gets off track a little too.  Hope you enjoy!!!

CFMD is back after summer with a primer on NIV.  Getting rid of the terms BiPAP and CPAP, understanding the terms IPAP and EPAP/PEEP, and which you need in failure of oxygenation vs failure of ventilation patients, hopefully will help you start utilizing this technology to its most effective.  Just the basics in this one!!!

CFMD gives some thoughts on spring, upcoming entertainment and presents oxygenation/airway advice including information and tips from The Difficult Airway Course.

In the first half of this episode, CFMD takes on point of care ultrasound and if/how it fits into the rural setting.  Also discussed are concepts about considering, initiating and maintaining an ultrasound program in the critical access setting. 

The second half of the episode takes you through a case involving a vascular injury to an extremity in a remote setting....ENJOY!!!

CFMD gets back to his family practice roots with a dive into the treatment of migraines.  Take a listen to CFMDs approach to catching, setting realistic goals and expectations, prophylactic and abortive regimens, as well as taking that knowledge into the ED.  You will also get his approach to treating the ED patient and using that clinic based approach.  Multimodal and multifactorial are key concepts.  And a hint-narcotics are a rarity........

CFMD listeners get a taste of @thenursealyx and @mariahmcnurse as they talk about being new grads and their first 6 months in the real world!!!  Oh yeah...and how much they love paramedics....WTH!

Country-fiedMD is back with a minipod including a little rant about Twitter, a recommendation on the Curbsiders, a case on using Fosphenytoin for acute refactory trigeminal neuralgia and advice on documenting your pre procedural sedation assessment.....

Country-fiedMD dives into the second half of the 2018 AAEM Scientific Assembly info, focusing on EKG tips, severe pulmonary edema, hyperkalemia, differentials in sinus tachycardia and other tips....

The first of a 2 part, Country-fiedMD series, on information from the 2018 AAEM Scientific Assembly in San Diego.

In this episode, we take a quick look at some info from a recent ERCAST w/ Rueben Strayer on the use of Haloperidol in chronic pain patients and as a pre treatment for the psychoperceptive affects of ketamine.  We dive into my plans for attending the AAEM Scientific Assembly in San Diego and wrap up with plans for our upcoming shows.....hope you enjoy!!  And like I always say, 'Don't take my word for anything.  Educate yourself and evaluate the evidence!!'.
