Here's another great podcast from early '24. This was a great conversation and finished the year at #5.

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis interviews Steve Schauer, an active duty lieutenant colonel in the US Army, about his research on calcium levels in trauma patients. They discuss the significance of calcium in trauma care, the challenges of conducting research in military settings, and the methodology of their study. Steve shares insights on the correlation between calcium derangements and patient outcomes, the importance of data collection, and the implications for trauma care practices. The conversation also touches on the prioritization of interventions in trauma situations and the evolving nature of medical practices.TakeawaysCalcium levels are critical in trauma care.The study aims to assess calcium derangements in trauma patients.There are significant differences between military and civilian trauma.Injury severity scores may not accurately reflect military trauma.Pre-hospital care can impact calcium levels upon arrival.Data collection is complex but essential for accurate results.Calcium administration should be approached cautiously.TXA is prioritized after blood in trauma interventions.Future research will provide more insights into calcium's role.Medical practices are constantly evolving based on new research.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Calcium Study in Trauma02:49 Understanding Calcium's Role in Trauma05:54 Challenges in Trauma Research09:05 Data Collection and Methodology11:50 Calcium Levels and Patient Outcomes15:00 Retrospective Data Insights18:02 Calcium Administration in Trauma Care20:55 Prioritizing Interventions in Trauma24:13 Future Research Directions27:06 Conclusion and Future InsightsThank you to Delta Development Team for in part, sponsoring this podcast. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠deltadevteam.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ For more content go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠ Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care
