Episode 180 - Orthostatic Vitals - Should They Stay or Should They Go?

Monday, April 21, 2025 • Duration 20:18

Orthostatic vitals are taught throughout medical training as a quick and easy way to assess patient volume status objectively. We also frequently see these documented in MCHD charts. Is there any evidence that orthostatics help our clinical decision-making? Has anyone ever evaluated their use in EMS? Could standing a patient to check their heart rate actually be harmful? Join the podcast crew as they address these questions and more. REFERENCES 1. White, JL, Hollander, JE, Chang, AM, et al. (2019).

Episode 171 - Surgical Airway Lessons With Dr. Al Lulla

Tuesday, September 17, 2024 • Duration 32:58

One of the most fear-inducing procedures in all of emergency care is the surgical cricothyrotomy. Dr. Al Lulla from Dallas Fire joins the podcast to discuss our recent collaboration on a retrospective look at MCHD's surgical airway experience over the past decade. Can paramedics successfully perform cricothyrotomies? Who needs surgical airway placement in the field? What can we learn for our next "can't oxygenate/can't ventilate" scenario?

Episode 82 - Serial Killer Series - Altered Mental Status

Monday, June 22, 2020 • Duration 30:06

We often start with a diagnosis and teach from there – for example CHF, asthma, and COPD are all podcast topics we have previously tackled. But, how to get to the final diagnosis is often a process that all levels of emergency providers struggle with. To go from a chaotic scene with unstable vitals then filter to an organized differential. The “Serial Killer Series” is going to target the most common chief complaints and the killer diagnoses that you should always consider. We’re not going to spend time with non-emergent/chronic diagnoses, just the ones that are deadly when missed. That’s where we, as emergency providers, must begin. Today we’ll wrap up the series with the killers associated with acute altered mental status.

Tuesday, May 12, 2020 • Duration 33:17

We often start with a diagnosis and teach from there – for example CHF, asthma, and COPD are all podcast topics we have previously tackled. But, how to get to the final diagnosis is often a process that all levels of emergency providers struggle with. To go from a chaotic chest pain scene with unstable vitals then filter to a differential of #1 PE, #2 ACS, #3 TAD is often quite challenging.
