#WEMSA19 was a friggin blast and as promised, I recorded a few of the lectures for you clowns that couldn't make it. We did a four talk symposium on resuscitation which included an amazing talk by Dr. Leon Eydelman on ECMO patient selection.

December 23, 2018 Podcast 69 - Why Do We Gain Weight?
In order to be the best clinician possible, we need to first take care of ourselves. In this podcast Sam and I talk about the science of weight gain, and how to avoid it. What is the advice society typically tells people? "Eat less and move more." You’ve got to go on a calorie restricted diet and exercise. That advice almost guarantees long term failure.

December 08, 2018 Podcast 67 - Checkboxes or Pre-Test Probability? w/ Chip Lange
Awhile back Aidan Baron (@Aidan_Baron) tweeted, "If you can't explain the pre-test probability, then you don't get to pick up the ultrasound.. no stats-no scan." This got me thinking about the way we approach testing in the pre-hospital setting. Are we performing EKG's, POC Labs, Ultrasound scans, and screens on patients just because we need to check off a box on our PCR, or do we truly believe the pre-test probably is high enough to justify the test? My thought process had always been that this is a way of triaging your mental bandwidth, and that it was only applicable when seeing more than just one patient. A physician, PA, or NP could not physically perform every test on every person without complications and decreased attention to top tier priorities. In this podcast Chip Lange from TOTAL EM, and I discuss if pre-test probability and risk stratification is applicable to EMS. www.foamfrat.com

November 14, 2018 Podcast 64 - Clots In Big Places w/ Brandon Means
How do we know which patients need to actually have the clot mechanically retrieved? This decision could be huge in regards to patient neurological outcome. There are several screening tools available. The RACE is the only large vessel occlusion (LVO) screen that is validated. In this podcast Brandon Means and I discuss the cortical signs of LVO, and how you can modify your current stroke screen to detect these.
