Episode 11

Welcome back to StandBy 4 Tones Podcast!

We have a great episode for you today, but we first have to give a big shout out and thank you to our guest Brian Hetrick. Brian is a Paramedic and Flight Nurse From Florida who took a long trip to come hang out with us here in Idaho! We had a great time with this one and you won't be disappointed. 

Today we jump right into a great topic and focus on some POCUS. If you don't know what POCUS is, well that is Point-of-care Ultrasound! We discuss the use of Ultrasound in EMS. Is it working, should it be used, what can POCUS tell us that good assessment skills can not?  We have 3 great points of view for this discussion and encourage you to get in on the discussion as well. 

Next we will discuss an older GEMS article that talks about 5 sudden causes of death.  We dive into these topics and again focus on how good assessment skills will help you recognize and treat these.  

Finally, We let Brian talk about some imposter syndrome and how difficult it can be to move into that flight provider role. 

This is a great episode and we look forward to hearing from everyone about it. Thanks for tuning in and remember to always Standby 4 Tones!
