Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 45: Heed Your Intuition16 Oct 202400:37:25
A seemingly simple heart attack gives our team pause because the patient presents a litany of conflicting symptoms. Should our team send him to have a stent put in right away - as is standard procedure - or do they wait to address the other symptoms and risk muscle damage? What would you do if you were in their position? Our hosts consider the symptoms and give their own recommendations while our team shares what actually unfolded. The lesson is that if something feels a bit off, it's important to listen to your intuition.    Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode? Visit OnlineAscend.com to learn more.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 44: Zen and the Art of Treating a Motorcycle Accident18 Sep 202400:40:41
A motorcycle accident victim faces dire circumstances and our team has to execute a new procedure that is rarely done in the field and has a high degree of risk if not done correctly. They are one of the only teams in the region equipped to even do such a procedure, and our team is concerned about doing it correctly because a lot can go wrong. Could you do a procedure you don't normally do with an audience? Because in addition to having to execute for the good of the patient, our team had the patient's family, other first responders and more watching them. Listen in as our team tackles another fascinating case on this episode of AMPED.   Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode? Visit OnlineAscend.com to learn more.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 35: Hope Is a Good Thing...20 Dec 202300:54:37
As first responders, the odds of patient survival are not always in our favor. But that does not stop us from working quickly to provide the highest level of care for the chances of defying those odds. In this episode, a 10 year-old boy wrecks on his bicycle, a fairly common occurrence and one that rarely requires air transport, yet when our team arrives on scene, his vitals crash in front of their very eyes. What's going on? And what actions do they take to save his life?

In a Florida nature park, a woman is bitten by a snake, which is not terribly uncommon in this part of the country. What is unusual is her reaction to it, which is severely anaphylactic. With limited resources in the sprawling park, a closing window for treatment, and critical decisions to be made instantly, how will the team assess, handle and treat our patient in this week's episode? And why such a severe reaction? Find out when you tune in.   Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode? Visit OnlineAscend.com to learn more.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 32: Giving the Gift of Goodbye20 Sep 202300:47:17
Our teams at Air Methods have many checklists they follow to ensure optimal care for each patient. What happens when our teams have to pivot their approach and their treatments because of the uniqueness of each individual? On this episode, our team tends to a car crash victim whose injuries make traditional methods of care impossible, and the team is forced to pivot multiple times to provide treatment. This episode also tackles the question of when it's appropriate to give the patient's family the gift of a goodbye.   Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode?

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 31.5: When It Hits Close to Home BONUS INTERVIEW01 Sep 202300:23:51
Hot on the heels of Ep. 31, which featured the Air Methods team taking care of one of their own, we return with bonus content. It's rare that we get to talk to the patient of one of our cases, and even rarer that the patient is also one of our clinicians. In this bonus interview, we share more of our conversation with Jeff Chesleigh as he divulges what it was like to code multiple times, his thought process during the ordeal, how his approach to patients going through a similar experience has changed, and the aftermath of the event. The conversation is riveting and informative.   We are joined by:

Our Air Methods crew always pride themselves on providing the highest level of care to each and every patient they encounter. But what happens when the patient is one of their own? What happens when he codes multiple times from a myocardial infarction? Further compounding the issue is that many of the resources used to treat MI are unavailable in this rural area.   Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode?

In this episode, a patient experiencing angioedema presents our team with choices that are all undeniably fraught and filled with risk.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 23: Turning Zebras Into Horses21 Dec 202200:45:32
Pregnancy complications are always difficult to manage.  Managing these complications in the air puts a whole new spin on the topic.  In this episode the AMPED team discusses a case in which Air Methods crew members had to transfer a patient with an abrupted placenta AND an open abdomen.  We discuss the similarities in how treating a patient with an abruptio placentae is like treating a trauma patient.  But we also discuss how treating a patient with aburptio placentae is different than treating a trauma patient.  Check out this episode where we discuss these subtle diagnostic and treatment differences with our special guest:    Dr. Berry Campbell, OB/GYN physician and Medical Director for Air Methods.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 21: The Butterfly Effect19 Oct 202200:52:04

In the movie Jurassic Park, Dr. Ian Malcolm (played by Jeff Goldblum) says this about the butterfly effect as it relates to chaos theory, "A butterfly can flap its wings in [Beijing], and in Central Park, you get rain instead of sunshine.” The metaphor is used to describe how seemingly minor events can have grand consequences much further down the line. On this episode of AMPED, an accident on a rural farm, a seemingly banal scheduling happenstance, and a series of decisions borne out of circumstance result in remarkable change for the state of New York, and a policy that affects the ability of first responders to do their jobs.

First responders see the unique, the unusual, the horrifying and the heartbreaking on a regular basis. On some calls, all the breaks go your way. On other calls, anything that can go wrong, will go wrong. That's the cost of experience.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 16: Stroke a Cord18 May 202200:41:34

Did you misread that title? Maybe you did and maybe you didn't. Emergency medicine requires our professionals to work from limited information and rely on instincts and assessment to diagnose and treat a patient. This usually leads our team down the right path, but sometimes leads them astray and takes them down the wrong clinical pathway for a patient. This episode takes the listener through these biases and discusses how to combat them, as we are joined by flight nurse, and host of The Q Word Podcast, Nyssa Hattaway.

First responders and clinicians often see things that are unimaginable to the average person as a part of their jobs. Yes, this is the nature of the work, but first responders and clinicians are human, and sometimes what they see affects them deeply. First responders have a 2.5x increased risk of suicide compared to other jobs. How do we help our colleagues handle trauma? How do we care for our caregivers. We discuss that in this episode as we are joined by:

We have as well!  In this episode, we dissect such a transfer call where the Eric Wheeler EMT-P and Danielle Flamm RN prepared for a STEMI transfer, but what lay in store for them at the sending facility was something much deadlier.

Episode 2: "What are my next steps?"

What is causing this patient's shock?

Why is my patient dying? 

These critical questions arise when your typical solutions for shock aren't working and the patient is dying.  It is crucial to have a systematic approach based on a fundamental understanding of the types of shock, figuring out the cause of shock, and choosing the right treatment.

In this episode, we hear Air Methods clinicians figure out the complicated mix shock state their patient is dying from and what treatments they chose to provide. 

In this podcast, we get advice from critical care physicians: 

Brian Fuller MD MSCI FCCM

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 40: MacGyver and Medicine15 May 202400:39:14
When our team is dispatched in the middle of the night to a hospital that almost never calls them requesting air transport for a case of an obstructed airway that doesn't, at first blush, seem like it warrants it, our team approaches with caution and curiosity. When they arrive, something doesn't add up and they first opt to phone the on-call doctor to explain the situation, and then dig deep into their bag of tricks - a la famous, resourceful TV character MacGyver - to improvise a unique solution.    Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode?

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 39: Don't Let the Perfect Be the Enemy of the Good17 Apr 202400:35:02
Any pediatric case comes with a higher degree of tension due to a variety of factors including compensatory responses to distress leading to a precarious "cliff" when those compensatory efforts cease. When our team is dispatched to a 5 year-old child struggling to breathe, yet still shows strong vital signs, how will the AMPED team respond? This episode discusses at great length understanding that even though we should strive for perfection in every action we take, sometimes "good" is good enough because recovery is a long road and there are skilled and caring teams awaiting us when we hand off our patients.    Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode?

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 38: Going the Distance No Matter What27 Mar 202400:39:29
By necessity, our teams are dispatched to most extreme, most rare, most complex, and sometimes most hopeless-seeming cases any patient could ever experience. It would be easy to look at certain cases - like say, a man whose legs are stuck in a concrete augur on a precarious platform with injuries that are intermingled and devastating - and assess that he's not going to make it. Our Air Methods team uses creativity, determination, skill and compassion to exhaust every possible method to help our patients achieve even the slimmest possibility of survival. This month's story is one such story of going the distance no matter what.    Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode? Visit OnlineAscend.com to learn more.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 36: Sometimes the Solution Is Obscure24 Jan 202400:37:47
Our profession requires extensive and exhaustive training. Much of it can seem esoteric and possibly unnecessary at the time, but we train on all of these things for a reason. When our team comes upon a severely burned patient, they extent of the burns causes a melange of difficulties. Could an obscure, and rarely used, procedure ultimately help and provide the patient more time? The AMPED team discusses this little-used technique and we discuss the importance of remaining familiar with the abundance of techniques and treatments we learn during our training.   Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode?
