Fly By Medics Podcast

This Episode we are joined by a very special guest and talk about the pitfalls of education and patient care involving tunnel vision. 

Blake Rogers is a full time paramedic and part time Flight paramedic with Survival Flight in Alabama. He is an experienced provider and friend with vast knowledge from a different aspect.

This week we review some training and treatment pitfalls involving tunnel vision and how to combat these issues from experience and training.

Blake offers a unique perspective involving a different aspect that I think is invaluable and an absolute must listen for all levels of providers. 

As always stay safe and continue to better yourselves and the profession.

Welcome back to the second episode of this season!

This week we take a look at FONA vs. MONA in regards to ischemic chest pain.  There is substantial data and studies that reflect Fentanyl as being a safe alternative to morphine to relive Ischemic chest pain. Fentanyl is more hemodynamically stable than Morphine and the way of the future in pre-hospital chest pain management. Don't take my word for it!
