The FlightBridgeED Podcast

In this episode of The FlightBridgeED Podcast, we discuss the PRVC mode of ventilation in depth. While not a new mode of ventilation, it has seen more frequent use in the transport environment especially for pediatric patients.

In this episode of The FlightBridgeED Podcast we discuss oxygenation and ventilation. These important concepts are cornerstone principles in properly managing patients on the ventilator, and understanding respiratory function.

In this episode of The FlightBridgeED Podcast, we discuss five gas laws related to flight physiology and investigate their effects on patient disease processes and treatment. These concepts are especially important for those interested in pursuing a career in the HEMS industry or for those preparing for advanced certification courses.

In this podcast, we briefly discuss the recent tragedy of AEL 109 and the importance of safety. No matter what you do, there is always a very real danger of injury or death in the HEMS industry. Your most important job is returning home to friends and family after each mission.

In this episode of The FlightBridgeED Podcast, we survey cardiac pharmacology as it relates to beta blockers and vasopressors.

In this episode of The FlightBridgeED Podcast, we take a look at sepsis and septic shock, discussing criteria, stages, outcomes, and treatment strategies.

In this episode of The FlightBridgeED Podcast, we examine ETCO2 and its role in cardiac output and intubation confirmation.

In this episode of The FlightBridgeED Podcast, we discuss DIC (Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation) related to trauma resuscitation and Tranexamic Acid (TXA). This relatively new medication has shown incredible promise through the Crash 2 study conducted in the UK.

In this episode of The FlightBridgeED Podcast, we discuss Diabetic Ketoacidosis and use a scenario to demonstrate physiological indicators and treatment methods for managing these critically ill patients.

PIP and pPlat are vital to effective ventilator management. These two values go hand-in-hand but are often misunderstood and often neglected. In this episode, we will discuss PIP and pPlat in depth and how they relate to your ventilator patients.
