Show Notes

This episode is an open-access recording of educational content from a Prodigy EMS course which reviews a case of an undifferentiated critical pediatric patient. Prodigy's Director of Critical Care, Shane O'Donnell interviews Dr. Matthew Harris.

You are requested to transfer an intubated two-year-old. Thoughts go racing through your mind before the dispatcher finishes reading the information. What diseases can I expect? How do I ventilate this child? What medications should I prepare?

To watch the video of the interview and receive CE, visit Prodigy EMS.

Dr. Faroukh Mehkri walks us through a mindset reframe for the undifferentiated crashing patient. He theorizes that the pervasive language of "stay and play" versus "load and go" has conditioned and narrowed our thinking.

Dr. Mehkri describes the evidence-based, predictable and preventable pattern of patients going into cardiac arrest in the early phase of a call when the patient has been physically moved to the ambulance too early.

He says there's still a place for the "load and go" mindset but that there are also many occasions with the very sick patient where it would be more appropriate to start with a mindset of "stay and stabilize" before patient movement.

Wherever you find your critical crashing patient, start where you stand and stabilize them there.

Dr. Casey Patrick, EM physician & EMS medical director at Montgomery County Hospital District (Texas), joins Ginger to discuss how he thinks during calls when the patient presents with rapid atrial fibrillation. Is the rapid A-fib the primary cause or a secondary result of another critical condition like sepsis, PE, DKA, hypovolemia, etc?

Love, Ginger

He's the White Tiger. Dr. J.R. Pickett. Or simply J.R. His teams follow him and in this episode he gives away some of the secrets of his leadership philosophies: How he gets buy-in from his team. What he understands about millenials. How he balances decisiveness with tactical patience. Why conflict is essential for successful teams. What he learned during COVID.

Paramedic, Taylor Kellogg (@kello011 on Twitter) joins us. This episode is a chance to take a break from clinical learning and listen to the story of a medic who has a passion for meteorology. Wildland fires in Southern California, a thunderstorm on a goat ranch, tornadoes while on shift, flooding that brought him eye-to-eye with a snake knocking on the station door & winter storms in Central Texas. He marvels at the good & the ugly that natural disasters provoke in humanity and how extreme weather makes us vulnerable in a way that connects us.
