The clock ⏰ is ticking when it comes to lack of perfusion. How fast? On average in a large vessel ischemic CVA, 32,000 neurons are lost causing an age acceleration of 8.7 hours, every second! So, in the average stroke, 1.2 billion neurons are lost causing an age acceleration of 37 years! Time is tissue, and time is NOT on our side! How fast you assess, get vitals, and generally get information, comes into play with the extent of damage to your patient's brain.

Wow, this one was tough. I am joined by Caitlin Wilson who shares her stories of when she was called upon to provide care off-duty. "I am leaning over doing CPR on someone I have knelt next to doing CPR." Buckle up for this one, it hits a little differently than other episodes.

Cardiac arrest is not always as simple as the "typical" arrest. What if it is driven by trauma? What if you're operating in a law enforcement-generated warm zone? What if you are called upon to initiate and manage a cardiac arrest in front of thousands of people, criticizing your every treatment on LIVE TV? Are you ready? 
Join Dr. Dierks and Shaun Pitts as they cover the cardiac arrest practices of EMS providers in "When Shit Hits the Fan".

I sit down with Spokane County Detective Mike to talk about how Fire/EMS can ensure that we handle, persevere and document possible crime scenes correctly. Mike has numerous years of experience in major crimes and gives great insight on how Fire/EMS can aid in investigations long after we treat our patients and leave our scenes.

Do you feel like you have all the training you need on child abuse, neglect and human trafficking recognition? Yeah, me either! I sit down with Michael McHenry, Forensic Interviewer/CPS Investigator, with the State of Washington. I can't even sum up the HUGE amount of information that Michael was able to provide in this episode.  He was able to clear up numerous misconceptions about EMS and what happens when we report possible abuse and neglect, and give use so easy to remember tools like the "Ten-4" rule to recognize possible abuse. This will be one of those episodes you will want to share with everyone in your agency. We are all mandated reporters and yet, most times, are lacking what is needed to report it! Please share this and save lives!
