Prolonged Field Care Podcast: PSNOT

In this episode of the PFC Podcast, Dennis and Alex discuss the evolving framework of Prolonged Field Care (PFC) and the importance of structured phases of care. They introduce the PeaceKnot framework, which emphasizes preparation, stabilization, normalization, observation, and transportation. The conversation highlights the significance of training, humility, and collaboration in enhancing medical capabilities in operational settings. They also touch on the need for continuous learning and adapting to the complexities of modern conflicts, advocating for a proactive approach to medical training and community engagement. Takeaways The PeaceKnot framework provides a structured approach to PFC. Preparation and logistics are crucial for successful patient care. Observation periods can vary significantly in duration. Humility is essential for effective medical practice. Training opportunities are vital for operational medics. Collaboration enhances medical capabilities in the field. Understanding patient disposition is key in critical care. Experience is necessary to manage critically ill patients effectively. Engagement with community and partners fosters better outcomes. Continuous learning is essential in evolving medical practices.

Prolonged Field Care Podcast 217: Calcium for Hyperkalemia?

In this episode of the PFC podcast, Dennis and Alex delve into the complexities of scientific article reviews, particularly focusing on a study related to hyperkalemia and its implications in CPR. They discuss the importance of critical thinking in medicine, the gray areas of clinical practice, and the physiological mechanisms behind calcium and sodium bicarbonate use during cardiac arrest. The conversation emphasizes the need for a thorough understanding of research outcomes, limitations, and the application of clinical guidelines in emergency medicine.TakeawaysThe knowledge translation window in medicine is about 17 years.Critical thinking is essential when evaluating medical literature.Medicine often presents gray areas rather than black and white answers.Understanding the physiological mechanisms of treatments is crucial.The outcome of studies should be relevant to clinical practice.Calcium and sodium bicarbonate have specific roles in managing hyperkalemia during CPR.Assessing patients requires more than just looking for classic signs.Confounders in studies can significantly impact outcomes.Clinical practice guidelines provide valuable insights for treatment.Continuous research and questioning are vital for medical advancement.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Scientific Article Review04:14 The Importance of Critical Thinking in Medicine10:41 Understanding Hyperkalemia in CPR11:07 PICO Framework for Research Analysis16:19 Evaluating Study Outcomes and Limitations22:15 Physiological Mechanisms of Calcium and Sodium Bicarbonate28:53 Clinical Practice Guidelines for Hyperkalemia34:07 Conclusions and Future DirectionsThank you to Delta Development Team for in part, sponsoring this podcast.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠deltadevteam.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ For more content go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.prolongedfieldcare.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consider supporting us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.com/ProlongedFieldCareCollective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.lobocoffeeco.com/product-page/prolonged-field-care
