At EMTG we are always finding new an innovative ways to improve our educational products. Over the past months the COVID-19 pandemic has proven challenging in the delivery of healthcare education with the reduction in student clinical rotations. Some rudimentary courses require no clinical interaction at all leaving the students to practice on lifeless manikins or each other! Often these simulations are run "by-the-book" as though every patient interaction will follow a scrip

A good partner is trusted family, and a bad partner is more like a prison sentence. "You run into an a$#!ole in the morning, you ran into an a$#!ole. You run into a$#!oles all day you're the a$#!ole." Raylan Givens "Quite often, that truck has an opening because the medic can’t get along with anyone, and nobody with any seniority wants to work with him. The rookie doesn’t have a choice, and winds up being “mentored” by some burnout who can’t teach an armadillo to dig a hole

Yesterday we were working with our FREC 4 students on resuscitation. Here they are working a simulated cardiac arrest in a nightclub. They were working on their teamwork and communication skills in a low light noisy environment. Prior to the simulation we worked on their ILS skills. As you can see having not practiced for over a month this was their result of their first attempt as a team. After 10 minutes and 39 seconds they had performed 847 total compressions at an average

This course is ideal for any event or security staff at FREC 3 or First aid level that may need to respond to trauma. Such events include horse riding, motocross or flat track racing, contact sports, Polo or doorman work where the chance of a traumatic injury can be high.

NAEMT's Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) is recognized around the world as the leading continuing education program for prehospital emergency trauma care. PHTLS is the global gold standard in prehospital trauma education and is taught in 64 countries.

Each year, millions of providers receive basic and advanced life support training with the aim of improving outcomes from cardiac arrest. Resuscitation training programs are designed to convey evidence-based content and provide opportunities for learners (i.e. those enrolled in resuscitation training programs) to apply knowledge and practice critical skills. These programs, however, frequently fall short of achieving the desired learning outcomes (eg knowledge and skill acqui

This came across my email this morning from the Resuscitation Academy and may be of great interest to those of you involved in CPA resuscitation. We are pleased to welcome Rob Schmicker from the University of Washington Department of Biostatistics. Rob has over a decade of experience in cardiac arrest methods and is leading author on a "re-analysis" of the randomized trial that compared 30:2 versus continuous compressions for EMS CPR. The original study results were publish

We are offering an opportunity to attend a free Pit Stop CPR boot camp. "Practice makes perfect," not all practice is equal.

This discussion held by a series of Paediatric Specialists and a review of the Paediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) Guidelines 2020 demonstrates the power of case study utilising actual patient footage. We are adopting ReelDx in our courses to harness the power of actual patient video to help our learners develop critical thinking skills early. From the initial "sick not sick" (and why?) doorway presentation to the progression of each case study with open and frank discuss

C-collar use may complicate airway management, raise intracranial pressure, increase patient discomfort, and increase the use of imaging in the ED. Is there an EMS rule that would allow them to clear children for CSI and avoid placing a c-collar altogether? https://journalfeed.org/article-a-day/2021/ems-predictors-of-pediatric-c-spine-injury

I saw this post on LinkedIn and thought that I would share it. "Paramedics are expected to use many pharmacological agents in order to save someone's life. They may need to make your heart beat faster, beat slower, or maybe just beat harder. They might need to administer an antidote for a drug overdose or maybe even put you to sleep and paralyze your breathing muscles in order to place a life-saving breathing tube in your windpipe! These medicines cannot be taught overnight a

Interestingly this study found that improved survival to discharge outcomes were associated with higher team exposure to cardiac arrest. This suggests a "dose-response" relationship with exposure rather than EMS provider experience (years on the job).
