    Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 45: Heed Your Intuition
    Oct 16 2024
    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.

    Sep 18 2024
    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.

    Jul 19 2024
    Summer season has our clinicians busy and therefore we are re-sharing Episode 35 featuring the harrowing journey of a brave 10 year-old boy. See you next month with fresh content! 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? An inspirational, harrowing and odds-defying episode of AMPED awaits you this holiday season.

    Sometimes the hardest part is the waiting. When our team is dispatched to a scene where a man who does not speak English is trapped inside a confined space with possible crush injuries, hypothermia and hyperkalemia, they must wait for him to be extricated. How do you stand that interminable time? How do you stay ready? And then how do you switch from inaction to action once it's time? Our team tackles yet another unique case in this month's episode.

    May 15 2024
    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.

    Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 39: Don't Let the Perfect Be the Enemy of the Good
    Apr 17 2024
    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.

    Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 38: Going the Distance No Matter What
    Mar 27 2024
    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.
