There's Something In the Water: Drowning
The definition and treatment for drowning has changed significantly in the last 20 years but not a lot of healthcare providers are aware of the changes made which can make a significant difference on patient outcome.
<title in the works>
A presentation about using the basics of what we learned in EMT and First Responder class in additional to clues we find on or near our patient to improve patient assessment and treatment without relying on ALS to step in and mess it up. :)
Just released :
Special Delivery- Postpartum Care in the 1st Hour. We’ve all had to take the obligatory childbirth class but what happens in the hour following delivery? What should we expect? The number of elective home births has surged since the beginning of the pandemic, and it doesn’t show signs of slowing down. What should mom and baby being doing? Can mom get up and shower? What if the placenta doesn’t deliver when it should? When SHOULD a placenta delivery occur?
The Final Cut: Field Amputations. Rarely are we faced with having to perform a field amputation. More common though is the reality that we have a patient who has already done the amputating for us with an MVA, Farm accident, or a power tool gone wrong. How do we manage these patients? Can that body part be salvaged? And what if (God forbid) we ARE faced with the need to amputate? Do you have a policy in place? Do you have a Field Amputation Team (or the like) available as a resource?
Time is Brain: Stroke Assessment and Treatment Guidelines.
Focusing on the 2020 AHA guidelines, we will look at stroke assessment and what the latest guidelines are in improving patient outcome.
Short Circuit: Seizures. We will review the new seizure classification system and treatment considerations in addition to finally addressing pseudo-seizures and Pseudo Seizures (hint: yes there is a difference)
The Right Stuff: Critical Care application ALS version.
A spin-off of the critical care version, this version is for the typical "street" medic who runs all types of calls.
