Loud & Clear: EMS Guiding Principles - Advanced Continuing Education for Paramedics, EMTs & Prehospital Care Providers

Ross Orpet, Paramedic turned EMS Physicianemspodcast.com
Paramedic training is over, you’re in the front seat now. Whether day 1 or day 1,000 you can’t shake the fear you’re underprepared. You were taught to systematically decide if A... do B. But what if “A” wasn’t in the book? The truth is each emergency call is too unique to teach the right response to every situation. We need to go beyond algorithmic thinking and understand deeper principles, the WHY behind the algorithm. When every decision counts you want to rely on a framework that will guide you when things don’t make sense. Loud & Clear: EMS Guiding Principles is your resource to build that framework. Through discussions with experts, review of evidence-based best practices, and real-world case studies we teach you one step past what you learned in paramedic school. But all of this advanced education is connected back to the guiding principles that answer the question- “at the end of the day, what actually matters to the patient I have in front of me?” Our mission is to elevate your practice and help you improve patient outcomes in every emergency situation. You may not feel ready, you may not feel like you know enough, but by understanding the guiding principles of emergency medicine you can become an expert EMS clinician. Because what you do matters. Loud & Clear: EMS Guiding Principles is an EMS Cast LLC production

The WTF Approach to the Tracheostomy

This is still included in the A of ABCs but I got essentially no training on this in paramedic school. I honestly didn’t get much formal training on this after becoming an ED doc either.

Large Vessel Occlusions (LVO)

First and foremost, we would like to thank all pre-hospital providers for the work you do. You are all underpaid, understaffed, and under appreciated. However, the unsung work that you do matters now more than ever. We go to work every day in order to be there when the public needs us. Much of the focus as of late has been on COVID. And probably rightfully so. But patients continue to have MI’s, strokes, overdoses and many other emergencies. And these emergencies still deserve our excellent care...
