The diagnoses and treatment of status epilepticus continutes to evolve. Review the latest evidence for status epliepticus management in the critical care transport medicine environment, including an evolving role for Ketamine!
Read MoreAir Care Series: Acute Ischemic Stroke Updates
/
The treatment of Acute Ischemic Stroke is a rapidly evolving field with critical care transport medicine playing an increasing role in the treatment of these patients. Dr. Irankunda explores CCTM specific management and historical musts when treating this unique patient population. Dr. Gottula provides a brief review of the literature supporting IV alteplase and endovascular thrombectomy.
Read MoreAir Care / Annals of B Pod Series: Hypokalemia
/
Hypokalemia is a commonly seen laboratory abnormality which is often unappreciated in the emergency department. Join us as we take a deep dive into the presentation and life threatening consequences of a patient with severe hypokalemia as we review a previous case from an international leader in critical care transport medicine, Air Care.
Read MoreAir Care Series: Machines Inside of Machines - CPR in flight
/
While high-quality CPR delivers the best outcomes in cardiac arrest, this is challenging in a transport environment. Dr. Connelly reviews the evidence behind mechanical chest compression in CPR, exploring its practicality to the Helicopter EMS (HEMS) environment.
Read MoreAir Care Series: Ideal Resuscitation Pressure in Polytrauma with TBI
/
Damage Control Resuscitation, Permissive Hypotension, Fluid Restrictive Resuscitation… Regardless of name, with all the enthusiasm surrounding permissive hypotension in the actively bleeding trauma patient, what do we do when they have a TBI? Take a dive into the literature surrounding ideal perfusion pressures of patients suffering from TBIs and traumatic injury to find out if we know what pressure is really the best.
Read MoreAir Care Series: Burns Management
/
Severely burned patients can be intimidating for even the most seasoned critical care transport providers. These patients often require aggressive resuscitation and multiple procedures in a relatively short period of time. It is often easy for providers to become overwhelmed, necessitating an algorithmic approach to the patient, similar to traumatically injured patients, is crucial. By advancing through the primary survey and stabilizing the patient while starting aggressive but goal directed crystalloid resuscitation, critical care transport providers can bring ICU level care to one of the sickest pre-hospital patient populations.
