We are at AMTC 2014 in beautiful Nashville, TN. In this episode we give you some general information about the conference. Come by and see us in the exhibit hall. Welcome to Nashville!!

In Episode 4 we discussed how TXA is used in the military and how is was introduced to EMS. We also discussed the MATTERs Trial and the Crash 2 Study.

For this episode Dr. Evans joined us at MedFlight for a company inservice. He spoke about the pharmacology of TXA as well as evidence based practice.

If you have never heard of TXA, it may be helpful to go back and listen to MedFlight Radio Episode 4 and then listen to this episode.

Here is another great article about the use of TXA in EMS.

As always thank you for listening and we hope to see many of you at AMTC.

In this episode we have some discussion about our plans at the Air Medical Transport Conference (AMTC) as well as a couple news stories affecting the aeromedical industry.

We also have a great case study that Dr. Dietrich, MedFlights Pediatric MCP, put together for us. Hopefully this information will be helpful in your day to day clinical practice.

If you are going to AMTC please let us know! Even if you aren't going, stay tuned to the show because we will be "broadcasting" everyday from Nashville letting you know about all of the great lectures and activities.
