Join us in | 21 | Journal Review: Pediatric Ketamine VS Fentanyl /  SGA VS ETI as we dive into two separate journals. In the first part of the episode, we cover the study "PICHFORK" (Pain In CHildren Fentanyl OR Ketamine), providing more reliable data to the argument of whether or not to use Ketamine for pediatric trauma. Next in the episode, we cover a separate study that compared the negative intrathoracic pressures and hemodynamics contributed by different supraglottic airway devices versus ETI during cardiac arrest. Both of these journals were submitted by listener recommendation, so please continue by their example, and submit more for us to review!

| 16 | The Pandemic Paramedic - Featuring Jonathan Baker, AS, NRP

Join us as we dive in to a a perspective commonly left out of the media discussions- The Paramedic's. In this episode, we discuss the pandemic with a 20 year veteran of EMS, and hear his perspective from the front lines of the pre-hospital arena, and how he and his colleagues have adapted to overcome the current challenges. Purposely excluding topics that are political, speculative, and discussion of curve models, we focus strictly on how this has effected EMS, our responses, and our patient care.
