The FlightBridgeED Podcast

This is a unique podcast that takes a look at the road to becoming a Flight Paramedic. I'm joined by the original co-founder of FlightBridgeED-Evan Claunch. We have received numerous podcast requests on the topic of: "What is the best way to achieve the position of Flight Paramedic". What better way to honor Evan as he moves into a new career and leaves the HEMS industry behind than to have this discussion with him? Evan and I discuss the best ways to achieve these tough-to-find positions. Take a journey with us as we dive into the best way to obtain a flight position and be prepared for these challenging clinical positions. Lastly, we couldn’t make this podcast without you.

Hot Off the Press! In this podcast, we dive into the 2018 Surviving Sepsis Update and look at the new recommendations, evaluate the evidence, and take a look at how this does or does not fit with other high-level evidence. We dive into the fluid debate, with a focus on Normal Saline vs. Lactated Ringers, whether 30mL/kg is based on the best evidence, whether fluid should be given based on true body weight or ideal body weight, and lastly, the hot topic of EtCO2 guided fluid resuscitation when coupled with passive leg raising. This is always a hot topic! Take a journey with me on this often disagreed subject! Lastly, we couldn’t make this podcast without you. Please rate, and review wherever you download the podcast.

We are back to the horrors associated with "The Nightmare Patient". The flight crew is tenuously attempting to rip the patient out of death’s mouth and bring him back from the roaring mouth of oblivion. Will she be saved? How will her care be rendered? In this episode, Bruce Hoffman joins Eric for a look at the complexities associated with Tylenol toxicity. We look specifically at the physiology, associated labs, the four phases of toxicity, and associated treatment PEARLS. Don't miss this podcast. This is a highly tested subject on all advanced certification exams and can be a difficult patient to manage in general. Lastly, we couldn’t make this podcast without you.

This podcast is going to dive into the topic of TIME CONSTANT. Have you ever wondered how we truly determine the exhalation time for our ventilator patients? Time Constant is the concept that guides our care and determines the time needed for proper alveolar filling or emptying. We couple this podcast with a downloadable worksheet for practice that can be found in the show notes on the FlightBridgeED website under this podcast. The worksheet gives calculation examples, practice questions, and answers to check your work. I promise this podcast will challenge you, bring insight into problems you've encountered in the transport environment, and ultimately give you new tools that will make you better as a clinician.

This podcast is going to dive into the hot topic of ARDS or lack thereof. I’ve been so excited to review this article and was blown away by its depth and science-based discussion. In this amazing article by Pulmcrit and Josh Farkas, the topic of ARDS is examined with a focus on the Berlin Definition of ARDS, pathophysiology, iatrogenic injury, and the new theory called “pseudoARDS”. In this episode, we explore the old thought process in ARDS, with a focus on diagnosis, physiology, theory, and overall treatment approach. We then examine the science and take a look at the newer thoughts on “pseudoARDS”. We couldn’t make this podcast without you. Please rate, and review wherever you download the podcast.
