What if the most routine interventions in emergency medicine weren’t as simple as we thought? In this episode of Physician Delegates, Dr. Martin Bennett, Dr. Adam Brenner, and Dr. Scott Ekin take a rapid-fire tour through some of the most important emergency medicine research of 2025 — and what it actually means for the crews working in the field.

From the subtle science behind something as basic as oxygen, to the evolving strategies for pre-oxygenation before intubation, the delegates unpack new evidence that could change how EMS providers manage the sickest patients. They tackle the long-standing debate between ketamine and etomidate for rapid sequence intubation, explore surprising new research on ketamine’s role in stopping refractory seizures, and examine how ultrasound may uncover hidden shockable rhythms during cardiac arrest.

Along the way, they also highlight practical updates every EMS provider should know — from choking treatment in infants, to safer oxygen targets, to the quiet return of an old emergency medicine favorite: Droperidol.

Join the Kitsap physician delegates for a fast-moving conversation that connects cutting-edge research to real-world EMS practice. Because sometimes the biggest improvements in patient care come from re-examining the things we thought we already understood,
