The 'EMS Avenger' on the 2025 AHA Guidelines
The 2025 AHA Guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care introduce significant updates, including a focus on on-scene resuscitation, cautious use of mechanical CPR devices, and prioritizing IV over IO access. While these changes aim to improve outcomes, they’ve sparked debate among seasoned paramedics like Jimmy Apple, the “EMS Avenger,” who highlights the challenges of implementation.
Key Points:
• On-Scene Resuscitation: Emphasis on achieving ROSC on scene rather than rapid transport.
• Mechanical CPR Devices: AHA advises against routine use, but paramedics argue they’re essential for small or rural teams.
• IV vs. IO Access: IV is prioritized, but practicality for resource-limited teams is questioned.
• Empowering EMS Providers: Focus on critical thinking, quality compressions, and timely defibrillation.
• Cultural Shift: Training crews for compassionate death notifications and clear family communication.
