Join the Rotor Wash team as we speak with Dr. Darren Braude from UNM about their program to cannulate in the field. Prehospital ECMO (PECMO) is here and real! Dr. Braude discusses the steps involved to reach this point, as well as the obstacles faced when building their PECMO program. All of this hard work resulted in the first prehospital ECMO Cannulation in the USA late last year.

Richie McHale with Geisinger LifeFlight joins us for this awesome case review of a patient he flew 5 years ago. Carbonyl Diflouride is the toxic chemical that is commonly inhaled when "huffing", a practice that is common to induce euphoric like effects. This chemical causes a massive depletion of Magnesium, and can lead to Cardiac Arrest. Join Richie while he walks us through this fascinating case, and discusses the massive amounts of Magnesium this pt required!

Today we get a chance to talk to Paul Reeves and Wayne Papalski about their SAR programs in US and Australia. Paul is an Australian search and rescue intensive care paramedic working in Broome in western Australia and Wayne is a US Navy search and rescue paramedic and a member of the ECHO military team. This was a great discussion that started out about SAR and SAR programs and transformed into a discussion of training, education and combating complacency. It was a pleasure to speak to these two and we cannot wait to do it again.
On this episode of the Rotor Wash podcast, we take it back to CampECHO WV 2019 with this awesome talk by the legendary Dan Rauh. In Dan's signature style, he presents complex concepts in a brilliantly simple fashion. Sit back, relax, and enlighten yourself with some great education.
