| 013: EPICC Review Week 7 - Shock Index for Improved Trauma Care by Prehospital Resuscitationists | 12 Feb 2019 | 00:09:06 | |
For year EMS providers have relied on certain clinical signs and symptoms to predict clinically unstable trauma patients and the need for emergent transport for definitive surgical care. Commonly EMS providers have used HR>120, systolic BP<90mmHg, and MAP’s <60mmHg as benchmarks for clinically unstable patients. However, these indicators can frequently be misleading if not carefully evaluated in the context of a patient’s overall clinical presentation leading prehospital providers to underestimate the severity of our patient's injuries or illness. The Shock Index and Modified Shock Index can help providers make better decisions about prehospital trauma care. Medic and RN CE's available over at academy.flightcrit.com | |||
| FlightCrit Lecture Series: Ketamine for the Critically Ill Patient | 09 Feb 2019 | 01:36:03 | |
There’s a severe lack of evidence about how to best utilize the drug Ketamine in the out of hospital environment. Any “research” that’s done comes from either the OR, ICU, or if we’re lucky the ED. We’re forced to extrapolate from those studies what we can about how to best apply their findings to the out of hospital environment. Medic and RN CE's available over at academy.flightcrit.com | |||

| 009: EPICC Review Week 3: Survival | 15 Jan 2019 | 00:15:33 | |
Being thrust into a survival situation as a result of an accident or unplanned event while on duty can be unnerving, to say the least. But being both mentally and physically prepared for the unexpected can go along way towards making sure we make it home. In this, the third episode in my series 52 weeks of EPICC I'm sharing with you some of the most important lessons on Survival from the EPICC Review Course. It is my belief that with the proper mindset, a little planning, and a few pieces of equipment, we can drastically improve our chances of survival if the unthinkable happens.

This week, the second week of 52 weeks of EPICC, I dug deep into the newly released CAMTS 11th edition standards to find the good stuff. From Duty Shift Times and Crew Fatigue to Part 135 requirements to Ambulance Operations, this episode gives you the most important topics from each section of the CAMTS standards so you can feel confident you’re ready when you sit down for your exam.

| 007: EPICC Review Week 1: VFR/IFR/IIMC | 01 Jan 2019 | 00:12:35 | |
I’m kicking off a series I’m calling 52 Weeks of EPICC to celebrate completing the EPICC Review Course and its pending approval by the International Board of Speciality Certifications. In this, the first of 52 episodes for 2019, I’m pulling directly from Section 1 of the EPICC Review Course where I discuss VFR and IFR flight rules, and Inadvertent Instrument Meteorological Conditions. I’ll be defining each for you, giving you some genearly parameters for what constitutes VFR and IFR, and discussing what makes IIMC so dangerous and how we as crew members can respond in the event of an IIMC situation to ensure the safety of the entire crew.

| 005: 5 Lessons Learned From My First Surgical Airway | 28 Nov 2017 | 00:14:17 | |
Prehospital Surgical Airways: The Truth Behind the Procedure. Very few paramedics have ever actually performed a surgical airway on a patient. In the past 15 years, I've met only a handful of paramedics who have utilized this skill. In fact, I've met more providers that tell me stories about patients they should have cric'ed, but didn’t, because they were either uncomfortable with the procedure or they feared a backlash from their peers and managers. When we fail to perform a potentially life-saving intervention we’ve been trained to do (that is within our guidelines) it is imperative to ask why. In this episode, I briefly explore why I feel “fears of backlash” surround the surgical airway and share with you 5 lessons I learned from my first field cric.

| 016: Lung Compliance and Optimizing PEEP w/ the Respiratory Coach | 02 Jun 2022 | 01:14:15 | |
Mechanical Ventilators, such as the Hamilton T1, ReVel, and ZOLL Z-Vent, are not only vital pieces of equipment used in the ICU and in Critical Care Transport, but they are becoming more popular for use by EMS services for interfacility transport so it's vitally important that EMS and Critical Care providers have a deep understanding of not only how these devices work, but also how different disease processes changes the way our patient interacts with the ventilator.
