Humans are easy. That's why we are able to do what we do as prehospital providers. But what happens when your patient is a canine? These working dogs are highly regarded by their handlers and require care just like anyone else that may be ill or injured. Considering that, are you equipped to care for them? If not, how can you successfully start and maintain a K9 program at your agency?
Tune in to another podcast to discuss this unique topic, but this time, we are joined by HLTH team member Rick Maricle and his colleague George Tarver III.

It can be difficult to determine whether you should treat undifferentiated hypertension or not. Many clinicians are distracted the number rather than focusing on the patient in front of them. Asymptomatic hypertension, in particular, is often benign. In fact, treating asymptomatic hypertension in a patient who a primary medical history of hypertension can harm them.
In this podcast, we discuss these adverse effects related to blood pressure physiology, acute versus chronic hypertension, and how you can determine whether anti-hypertensives or other forms of therapy are indicated.

The principles of preoxygenation and passive oxygenation should be familiar to any experienced intubator. Best practice recommends the use of a nasal cannula in conjunction with either a non-rebreather mask or bag-valve mask (BVM) to prevent hypoxemia during the apneic phase of Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI).
In the PREOXI Trial, the authors pushed this concept further, questioning whether non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) might be more effective than these formally mentioned adjuncts. In this podcast, we dive into the strengths and weaknesses of the trial and explore whether its findings are truly practice-changing. We might even disagree along the way…
(We also provide a rebuttal to some of the feedback we received on our previous podcast episode.)

Not all cardiac arrests are created equal. Whether the presenting rhythm is asystole, ventricular fibrillation, or PEA, these patients require tailored interventions beyond "blanket" protocol and ACLS/PALS algorithms. When refractory to conventional therapy, the pulseless V-Tach/V-Fib patient, in particular, requires critical thinking "outside the box" in order to gain ROSC (Return of Spontaneous Circulation) and preserve neurological outcomes. What are some of the measures we can consider when presented with these refractory patients? We answer that question in this podcast episode.

Interfacility transfers are not always indicated at the time and place of which they are being requested. Whether it's referring provider misinformation or a lack of advocacy by the transport agency, these transfers can result in unnecessary risk for crew members and patients. Specifically, weather conditions, time of day, crew fatigue, and other important factors are not always considered when blindly accepting these transfers. As the transport specialists, how can we ensure that we are accepting and performing these transports safely?
In this episode, Austin Wingate provides a holistic method that you, too, can integrate into your own region.

Antidiuretic hormone (ADH) plays an essential part in the body's osmotic/fluid balance, sodium homeostasis, and blood pressure regulation. This hormone is synthesized in the hypothalamus and released from the posterior pituitary gland. In conditions such as Diabetes Insipidus (DI) and Syndrome of Inappropriate ADH (SIADH), there is a lack of synthesis or over-production of this hormone which results in negative downstream effects.
At the request of a podcast listener, we have decided to cover these conditions in this episode. Tune in as we discuss DI (central and nephrogenic), SIADH, and hypo/hypernatremia.

Angioedema is defined by upper airway swelling secondary to an immune response. The trigger and subsequent physiological response are how we categorize it. In this podcast, we discuss how to diagnose and treat both types: IgE/Histamine-mediated and Bradykinin-mediated. We also touch on how to address the difficult airway that may or may not lead to intubation. All in all, do not fear angioedema but respect it.

When discussing methylene blue, management and treatment of methaemoglobinaemia is usually the first indication mentioned. But in this podcast, we challenge you to increase the size of your lense and focus on its benefits in other states (e.g., septic shock). Of course, we could not do this alone, so we invited a Flight Paramedic, Pharmacist, Toxicologist, and Professor to join us. And fortunately for us, they are all the same person.
Tune in as Will Heuser helps us discuss the pathophysiology of distributive shock, the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of methylene blue related to its effects on endothelial relaxation, and how this simple dye goes beyond that of salvage therapy when a patient has high vasopressor requirements.

Though we have delved into foreign HEMS systems in the past (See Episode 61 – Down Under Dynamics w/Dr. Cliff Reid), we have not dedicated an entire series to it. Having now rubbed shoulders with many clinicians and operators around the world, it is evident that these conversations need to take place on a regular basis. Why? Because operating in a vacuum can lead to bad decision making. Our new "Around the World" series attempts to mitigate this by interviewing prehospital and intrahospital disciplines from around the world and finding out how they do things, whether for better or for worse when compared to the United States.
We begin our series with our neighbors to the south, Mexico. Daniel Peñaflor, Flight Paramedic, joins us to discuss prehospital operations in Guanajuato City. Interestingly enough, you will find out that they are not too dissimilar from us.

"Self-loading baggage" is a derogatory term often used by pilots to describe lazy or disengaged medical crew members in the air medical industry. Whether intentional or not, this behavior sets a bad precedent for those of us that want to embrace aviation cross-training and be able to assist the pilot effectively.
In this podcast episode, we are joined by pilots Miles Dunagan and Brett Reeder to discuss how pilots and clinicians alike can be a cohesive team before, during, and after the flight. We touch on complacency, Crew Resource Management (CRM), and specific skills required of an effective air crew.
