Paramedics bodies face high demands from the job. 

10-15% will suffer an injury at work that can affect our lives and career. 

Strengthening our bodies not only prevents injury but reduces fatigue, helping us to make better decisions and live happier lives.

Today the lads sit down to discuss sepsis in pediatric populations.

How do we identify it?

What are the red flags to watch out for?

Why do we sometimes get it wrong?

 

 

Today we are joined by Harriet Walker from Athletic Eating. 

We sit down to discuss the obstacles and challenges paramedics face with nutrition and how it affects our performance and well being.

We also look at some small steps that we can take to improve the way we eat at work. 

CPR induced consciousness is rare but can have a significant impact on how we deliver care. 

CPR induced consciousness or CPRIC, is a phenomenon where by the CPR being performed is so effective, that it produces varying states of consciousness. 

Your patient  is in VF arrest, but may be "politely" asking you to get off their chest

Management is based on reducing awareness, recall and pain, as well as gaining control of the patient to facilitate resuscitation.

Not every paramedic works in the big city, with a partner and a mass of resources at their disposal. 

Some work by themselves, with limited resources, and limited help. 

Today we talk about remote paramedicine, its perks, its pitfalls and how to thrive. 

Today we look at how we go about clearing c-spine injuries in the pre-hospital setting. 

The evidence behind NEXUS and how it stacks up again other tools. 

Can we use these tools in the elderly?

We would like to thank of our listeners Bruce for bringing this topic to our attention. 

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our live event. 

Today's episode covers our first topic from the night. 

There is no right or wrong answer to this question,

but there is a lot to consider. 

We sat down with Jason and Aaron from the Pragmatic paramedic podcast and discuss the differences in education and certification between the US and Australia. 

Today the boys talk all things retrieval. The basics, the different modalities and those emerging, and how you can prepare your patient, your team and your environment for an incoming asset.
