We discuss the epidemiology of pediatric trauma activations with San Antonio’s Dr. Craig Cooley and finish up with a discussion with Dr. Henry Wang. Dr. Wang talks to us through an oral abstract he presented here on a secondary analysis l...

What if we told you that neither amiodarone nor lidocaine did any better in cardiac arrest when given by IO? What if we told you neither one improved survival when given by IV? Would you think I was smoking crack? Yeah, I would have thought that too until last week. I’m going to give a quick recap of this important secondary analysis of the ALPS trial, but only as a precursor to get y’all warmed up for the main event on Facebook Live Wednesday, January 29th at 8:30 CST. Listen to this podcast, a...

Did y’all make it to NAEMSP 2020 in San Diego? If not, I’m sorry. It was awesome! If you did, you probably had a great time but still missed a lot. There’s just too much going on. Being the research nerds we are, we focused our time on the oral and poster presentations. We interviewed as many investigators as we could. In fact, we recorded more audio than we could fit in one episode. So… we’re cutting them into smaller chunks and will get them out faster than our normal q2 weeks release schedule...

The debate has raged. In this corner, we have our established champion succinylcholine, or, as the oldsters call it, “because we’ve always done it this way”. In that other corner over there, we have the brash newcomer, rocuronium, or, as the youngsters call it, “OMG… what about the hyperK!.” Wouldn’t you just like an answer? Which is better? SAMU to the (potential) rescue. Our French colleagues published a Randomized Clinical Trial comparing FPS among prehospital patients undergoing intubation b...

Should we chill out with the non-shockable cardiac arrests? Another look at targeted temperature management. First, we knew early hypothermia after ROSC saved brains. Then, we learned that doing it in the field didn’t make a difference and that there was no difference between 33C and 36C. This month, the NEJM published the HYPERION trial of non-shockable arrests randomized to hypothermia (33C) or normothermia (37C).

Topics include epinephrine and advanced airways in cardiac arrest, paramedic degrees, intubation with paralytics vs “sedation assisted intubation”, whole blood, IV push nitroglycerine for CHF, POCUS, and discussing clini...

You’ve all seen it. Most of you have probably taken (or fired) a round or two in it. It’s the Great Twitter "VL vs DL War". Everyone has their opinion. I certainly did. But now I’ve found peace by retreating from the madness. Ultimately, it’s WAY more about the training than the particular device being used. Dr. Jarvis reviews a randomized trial comparing AP Advance, CMAC, and King Vision to make his point. If you like hearing about the latest in EMS research, subscribe to our podcast. If you li...

A variety of papers, including CRASH-2, suggest that TXA can decrease mortality if given early for patients at risk of significant hemorrhage but exclude patients with TBI. CRASH-3 was a large, multi-national placebo-controlled randomized trial comparing TXA, 1 gm over 10 minutes, followed by a subsequent 1 gm infusion over the next 8 hours. So… what do we think of the paper’s results, and do we believe TXA should be given in TBI patients? The EMS Lighthouse Project Podcast is the newest show on...
