High-dose nitro has become a hot topic as of late. In the podcast, I'm joined by Chris Meeks, a Flight Paramedic and the host of the Mind Body Medic Podcast.  Chris and I sit down and discuss the physiology of left systolic and diastolic ventricular failure and how to approach a patient who is in severe overload due to high systemic vascular resistance.  The newest literature is guiding high push dose nitro, with doses of 1-3mg IV push given every couple minutes. Join us for the discussion, and look into physiology and application in the pre-hospital ground and helicopter environments. Lastly, we couldn’t make this podcast without you.

Hot Off the Press! In this podcast, we dive into the 2018 Surviving Sepsis Update and look at the new recommendations, evaluate the evidence, and take a look at how this does or does not fit with other high-level evidence. We dive into the fluid debate, with a focus on Normal Saline vs. Lactated Ringers, whether 30mL/kg is based on the best evidence, whether fluid should be given based on true body weight or ideal body weight, and lastly, the hot topic of EtCO2 guided fluid resuscitation when coupled with passive leg raising. This is always a hot topic! Take a journey with me on this often disagreed subject! Lastly, we couldn’t make this podcast without you. Please rate, and review wherever you download the podcast.

We are back to the horrors associated with "The Nightmare Patient". The flight crew is tenuously attempting to rip the patient out of death’s mouth and bring him back from the roaring mouth of oblivion. Will she be saved? How will her care be rendered? In this episode, Bruce Hoffman joins Eric for a look at the complexities associated with Tylenol toxicity. We look specifically at the physiology, associated labs, the four phases of toxicity, and associated treatment PEARLS. Don't miss this podcast. This is a highly tested subject on all advanced certification exams and can be a difficult patient to manage in general. Lastly, we couldn’t make this podcast without you.

This podcast is going to dive into the topic of TIME CONSTANT. Have you ever wondered how we truly determine the exhalation time for our ventilator patients? Time Constant is the concept that guides our care and determines the time needed for proper alveolar filling or emptying. We couple this podcast with a downloadable worksheet for practice that can be found in the show notes on the FlightBridgeED website under this podcast. The worksheet gives calculation examples, practice questions, and answers to check your work. I promise this podcast will challenge you, bring insight into problems you've encountered in the transport environment, and ultimately give you new tools that will make you better as a clinician.

This podcast is going to dive into the hot topic of ARDS or lack thereof. I’ve been so excited to review this article and was blown away by its depth and science-based discussion. In this amazing article by Pulmcrit and Josh Farkas, the topic of ARDS is examined with a focus on the Berlin Definition of ARDS, pathophysiology, iatrogenic injury, and the new theory called “pseudoARDS”. In this episode, we explore the old thought process in ARDS, with a focus on diagnosis, physiology, theory, and overall treatment approach. We then examine the science and take a look at the newer thoughts on “pseudoARDS”. We couldn’t make this podcast without you. Please rate, and review wherever you download the podcast.
