In our final Guatemala Educational Aircrew Retreat (GEAR) 2019 podcast episode, we summarize the overall experience. G.E.A.R. was memorable, to say the least. It resulted in currency, competency, and confidence through camaraderie and collaboration. But what do Black Wolf Special Helicopter Operations, RED MED, and HeliSOS Servicios Medicos mean? Where do Chris Sharpe and Chris Gibson come from? What is their motivation behind this training? And how can you experience firsthand what we've been through? Through blood, sweat, and tears. Take a listen. ------------------------------------------------  Twitter @heavyhelmet Facebook @heavyliesthehelmet Instagram @heavyliesthehelmet YouTube /heavyliesthehelmet Website heavyliesthehelmet.com Email heavyliesthehelmet@gmail.com Disclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Heavy Lies the Helmet, LLC podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of their employers and their employees.

With kick off our Guatemala Educational Aircrew Retreat (GEAR 2019) series with an open forum. Located at Guatemala's aviation training center, we sat in a mock airplane, pulled out the lapel mics, and decided to discuss the broad topic of survival. The morning after our jungle excursion inspired a multitude of discussions ranging from fire to survival gear to everything in between. ------------------------------------------------  Twitter @heavyhelmet Facebook @heavyliesthehelmet Instagram @heavyliesthehelmet YouTube /heavyliesthehelmet Website heavyliesthehelmet.com Email heavyliesthehelmet@gmail.com Disclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Heavy Lies the Helmet, LLC podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of their employers and their employees.

In this podcast episode, we are joined by Dr. Bill Hinckley to discuss advanced practice models in HEMS. Bill is a rare breed that defines "passion" in HEMS, to say the least. His experience coupled with being an overwhelmingly nice guy led to a lengthy discussion. We did not want to cheat your experience, so we split the podcast episode into two separate parts. This second part focuses on the big picture. We talk about the Airline Disregulation Act (ADA), HEMS bureaucracy, over-saturation, and billing practices. We touch on the need for advanced practice models in our current climate and the importance of generally doing the right thing. ------------------------------------------------  Twitter @heavyhelmet Facebook @heavyliesthehelmet Instagram @heavyliesthehelmet YouTube /heavyliesthehelmet Website heavyliesthehelmet.com Email heavyliesthehelmet@gmail.com Disclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Heavy Lies the Helmet, LLC podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of their employers and their employees.

Is the Registered Nurse/Paramedic crew configuration optimal for HEMS? In this podcast episode, we are joined by Dr. Bill Hinckley to discuss advanced practice models. Bill is a rare breed that defines "passion" in HEMS, to say the least. His experience coupled with being an overwhelmingly nice guy led to a lengthy discussion. We did not want to cheat your experience, so we split the podcast episode into two separate parts. This first part focuses primarily on Bill's experience as an EM physician, flight physician, and medical director for University of Cinncinatti Health's Air Care and Mobile Care. We talk about the pitfalls and successes of advanced practice versus standard crew configurations. We touch on specific models involving nurse practitioners, resident-level physicians, and attending-level physicians which leads into a discussion regarding the current state of American HEMS.

Armchair Air is at it again with this is the second installment of the "Breaking the Case" series where we discuss case studies related to previously covered topics. Even though some content from Episode 33 - P.E. MERGENCY is reviewed, we recommend listening to it before proceeding. It will provide the foundation needed to understand the concepts that we base our decision-making on. With that being said, this episode discusses three patient scenarios where pulmonary embolism plays a factor in their presentations. We discuss diagnostics and treatment methods based on the severity of each case. We also highlight the challenges surrounding the P.E. patient when resources are limited. ------------------------------------------------  Follow our Twitter @heavyhelmet Follow our Facebook @heavyliesthehelmet Follow our Instagram @heavyliesthehelmet Subscribe to our YouTube @heavyliesthehelmet Visit our website at heavyliesthehelmet.com Contact us at heavyliesthehelmet@gmail.com Disclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Heavy Lies the Helmet, LLC podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of their employers and their employees.

Earlier this year, we were asked to present at a local critical care conference. Due to the recent release of the 1-hour bundle, this was a timely discussion regarding pre-hospital sepsis. We touched on various definitions, diagnostics, treatments, and the ongoing controversy surrounding the Surviving Sepsis Campaign. Since we try to record most of our talks, we decided to share this particular presentation with you on the podcast. We hope you enjoy this format for a change of pace. ------------------------------------------------  Follow our Twitter @heavyhelmet Follow our Facebook @heavyliesthehelmet Follow our Instagram @heavyliesthehelmet Subscribe to our YouTube @heavyliesthehelmet Visit our website at heavyliesthehelmet.com Contact us at heavyliesthehelmet@gmail.com Disclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Heavy Lies the Helmet, LLC podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of their employers and their employees.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the main event. This long awaited, highly anticipated match-up is finally here.  Dan received feedback, after giving a recent talk, that we wanted to address in a fun way. What causes peri-intubation hypotension and death? Is positive pressure ventilation (PPV) or induction agents the primary contributing factor?  Tune in to this special podcast episode where our own Dan "Macho Man" Rauh and Bryan Boone "The Doom" debate this heated topic. (Refereed by yours truly, Mike Boone.) We detail various sympatholytics used for induction, thoracic pressure consequences of PPV, and our ultimate concerns regarding the Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI) procedure. This no holds barred, cage match is brought exclusively to you live from Dan's farm aka The Thunderdome. Buckle your 5-point harnesses, because you're in for a wild ride. ------------------------------------------------  Follow us on Twitter @HLTHPodcast Follow us on Facebook @heavyliesthehelmet Visit our website at heavyliesthehelmet.com Contact us at heavyliesthehelmet@gmail.com Disclaimer: The views, information, or opinions expressed during the Heavy Lies the Helmet, LLC podcast are solely those of the individuals involved and do not necessarily represent those of their employers and their employees.
