Rotor Wash

Today's Podcast was recorded with Jon Reed and Chris Smetana from IA MED. The Podcast focuses on who they are, who IA MED is, and why they chose to partner with ECHO. Also, make sure you listen until the end where we discuss what has now been named the CME Collective. The CME Collective is a growing community of podcasts and blogs which are and will always be 100% free to read or listen to, but now you can now get CEU/CEH credit for by taking a test and paying a small fee. Best of all the fee goes to support all the amazing programs that ECHO has.

As with everything we do at ECHO we do It a little different then and always with our mission of providing affordable training the person doing the job every day. We see this as a way to shake up the landscape of continuing education and allow those that were not able to travel to our conferences to take advantage of the world-class education and get some credit for it.

The CME Collective can be found at the link below and the content will continue to grow so make sure you check back often.

Todays Rotor Wash episode is from our ECHONooga Rewind content. Erlanger Life Force base manager and flight nurse Tim Perry talks about employee motivation from a leader's point of view. He will challenge you to look at the importance of hiring the right motivated, skilled employees to include work ethics and people skills that positively affect your program. Interview process to include questions and upfront expectations and setting a positive example. Every person has different things that motivate them to be engaged in their job and the importance of being engaged with and learning what motivates your employees (there are several different motivators, rarely is it money!).

Today's episode comes from our 2018 Annual Conference ECHONooga and features 2 talks.

Talk 1:

Flight Paramedic Joey Loehner presents his talk entitled: Hyperthermia, Excited Delirium, and Dantrolene - A Rave New Treatment

Joey will provide a brief overview of common party/rave drugs, the effect they have on users, and types of patients we treat at our large music festivals (150,000 attendees). This will be followed by how/why we treat the way we do, evidence to support our treatment modalities, and how to effectively transport these patients. We will then discuss what can be done by Flight Crew to maximize the benefits of these treatments in the transport environment.

Talk 2:

Flight Paramedic and Life Force Air Medical Base Educator Joshua Piotrowski presents his talk entitled: Under Pressure

After this lecture, you will have a different respect for the venous system and understand the fine balance needed between vasopressors and fluid resuscitation to return the body to a more normalized state. We need to change our perception of the heart to realize that it does not dictate the amount of blood pumped into circulation. It is our goal to put some more balanced tools in your toolbox for treating hemodynamically unstable patients.

During this episode, we go back to ECHONooga where Rachel Tester, an expert in IFR infrastructure and John Fetzer, an experienced IFR pilot, were interviewed in regards to the new pilot track that was offered at the conference. We discussed some information in regards to ECHO and public safety aviation pilots and how we want to continue offering support and industry specific information to them.

From ECHONooga, Dan Rauh and Bill Hinckley bring us their talks on bleeding.

Dan Rauh will discuss coagulopathy/anticoagulants.

Do you understand the difference between a NOAC, VKA, INR, 4 factor PCC AND FFP? Do the concepts of intrinsic and extrinsic pathway trigger a migraine? Not anymore!!! Who, when and how to reverse will be covered as well as the most important question...."How do I do that?!"

Dr. Bill Hinckley will bring his talk, Master of the Massive UGIB.

We're experts in managing hemorrhagic shock from trauma, and we know that in bleeding trauma patients, the care that we bring to the patient is at least as important as the rapid transport we provide to the Level 1 Trauma Center. I get stoked about massive UGIBs in the same way that we all get fired up to take care of that MVC patient with severe TBI and florid shock. Why? Because I know there's very little the accepting GI doc and intensivist have that my partner and I don't have in terms of definitive care for that massive UGIB patient. I know, and you will too, that in a short period of time we can have a huge impact on that patient's morbidity and mortality. And because I'm anosmic, so the aroma of melena doesn't bother me in the least. Even if you're not anosmic, I think I can get you pumped up about taking care of massive UGIBs too.

You will hear a Moment of Silence during Dr. Hinckley's talk. Here's why: All classes were paused for a moment of silence at 1120 in remembrance of Duke Lifeflight Crew Crystal Sollinger, Kristopher Harrison, Jeff Burke, and Mary Bartlett.

On today's Rotor Wash episode which is sponsored by AeroComputors, Jason Sams and I interview the crew that was instrumental in the apprehending of the Boston Marathon bomber. We discuss the challenges and efforts provided by those involved during the multiagency search. The tactical flight officers and pilot will discuss their roles and responsibilities as the events unfolded and how technology, teamwork and collective tactical operations made for a successful mission.
