Can naloxone raise the dead in cardiac arrest? Dillon et al “Naloxone and Patient Outcomes in Out-of-Hospital Cardiac Arrests in California” looked at this question. The results challenged what I’ve thought for a long time. Check out Ken Milne MD here: thesgem.com/2024/09/sgem45…

If I was 🔫 or 🔪 , I’d rather be transported to 🏥 in the back of a 🚓 than in the back of an 🚑. Am I crazy? Find out on the latest episode of Clinical Conversations as James Oswald and I talk penetrating trauma.

I love this method for RSI we use on flight: the 3 stop-cock IV method. Closest to patient: sedative Middle: paralytic Farthest: push-dose pressor Streamlines your med delivery for rapid, efficient, and safe intubation. #EMS #RSI #emergencymedicine

Does your EMS system have a protocol that includes giving naloxone to adult patients with an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA)? #EBM #FOAMed thesgem.com/2024/09/sgem45… Chris Root EMS World EMS1 High Performance EMS EMS Blogs @OverrunEMS

Any prehospital services/HEMS use a small bedside invasive bloodpressure monitor for arterial lines? I have seen the compass but this only shows MAP.

Now that I’m at a job where “safety naps” are encouraged Im realizing how silly&unsafe it was for my prev EMS gig to write u up/threaten to fire u if u got caught napping b/w calls. I know, it’s a PR thing, but maybe posting on a street corner for 16 hrs is the issue, not naps?🫶
