About this Episode

What do you do when you receive a patient who is in critical cardiac condition after being in jail? Did they already have a heart disease that is getting worse? Or was it something they took? Or was it a prescribed medicine that they couldn't take? Regardless, it can be a struggle to find an answer. At this point you better know your basics to keep the patient alive. In this episode, the AMPED team is joined by flight nurse Chelsea Fehring to delve into another AMPED case that presents some unique and unexpected challenges.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 36: Sometimes the Solution Is Obscure

Our profession requires extensive and exhaustive training. Much of it can seem esoteric and possibly unnecessary at the time, but we train on all of these things for a reason. When our team comes upon a severely burned patient, they extent of the burns causes a melange of difficulties. Could an obscure, and rarely used, procedure ultimately help and provide the patient more time? The AMPED team discusses this little-used technique and we discuss the importance of remaining familiar with the abundance of techniques and treatments we learn during our training.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 35: Hope Is a Good Thing...

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.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 34: Don't Be a Canary

Things are not as they seem on this month's episode of AMPED. Our team arrives on scene to find first responders dealing with a chemical burn and administering CPR. But something is amiss. This episode is a stark reminder that no matter the time of day, no matter the other circumstances, our role as clinicians is to stay vigilant in our analysis and always to assess every aspect of the situation thoroughly.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 33: Look One Way, But Go Another

In a Florida nature park, a woman is bitten by a snake, which is not terribly uncommon in this part of the country. What is unusual is her reaction to it, which is severely anaphylactic. With limited resources in the sprawling park, a closing window for treatment, and critical decisions to be made instantly, how will the team assess, handle and treat our patient in this week's episode? And why such a severe reaction? Find out when you tune in.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 32: Giving the Gift of Goodbye

Our teams at Air Methods have many checklists they follow to ensure optimal care for each patient. What happens when our teams have to pivot their approach and their treatments because of the uniqueness of each individual? On this episode, our team tends to a car crash victim whose injuries make traditional methods of care impossible, and the team is forced to pivot multiple times to provide treatment. This episode also tackles the question of when it's appropriate to give the patient's family the gift of a goodbye.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 31.5: When It Hits Close to Home BONUS INTERVIEW

Hot on the heels of Ep. 31, which featured the Air Methods team taking care of one of their own, we return with bonus content. It's rare that we get to talk to the patient of one of our cases, and even rarer that the patient is also one of our clinicians. In this bonus interview, we share more of our conversation with Jeff Chesleigh as he divulges what it was like to code multiple times, his thought process during the ordeal, how his approach to patients going through a similar experience has changed, and the aftermath of the event. The conversation is riveting and informative.

Our Air Methods crew always pride themselves on providing the highest level of care to each and every patient they encounter. But what happens when the patient is one of their own? What happens when he codes multiple times from a myocardial infarction? Further compounding the issue is that many of the resources used to treat MI are unavailable in this rural area.

If you're unfamiliar with postpartum care, ask yourself these questions: What do you need to brush up on? What should you review? And what should be ready for when this situation arises?
