Nurse Rosa's INsightsEp 53: The Hypnotic State of Emergency Patients with Bram DuffeeWhat if the words you say to a patient in crisis are as critical as the medications you give them? Dr. Bram Duffee, a 25-year paramedic working 72-hour weeks on Houston ambulances AND a PhD researcher, reveals why patients in medical emergencies enter a hypnotic state that makes them hyper-vulnerable to every word you say.
Bram started saving lives at 14 and became one of the youngest paramedics in the country at 19. Now he splits his time between critical care ambulance work, teaching 170 communication students at Kennesaw State University, and leading research at the First Responder Behavioral Health...

EMS TodayRethinking Epinephrine Use in Traumatic Cardiac ArrestHost Bram Duffee explores research on epinephrine’s role in traumatic cardiac arrest. The discussion features a trauma surgeon and researcher from a Level 1 trauma center who explains why epinephrine may not only lack benefit but could cause harm in trauma cases like car crashes or gunshot wounds. Drawing from a six-year study across seven trauma centers involving over 1,600 patients, the findings challenge current EMS protocols by highlighting differences in outcomes between blunt and penetrating trauma. Bram also shares resources on EMS research and innovative communication techniques for emergency patients, offering valuable tools for practitioners and instructors alike.
2025-11-0325 minEMS Research with Professor BramEpinephrine in Traumatic Cardiac Arrest: Life-Saving or False Hope?Epinephrine is a cornerstone of medical cardiac arrest, but does it provide the same benefit in traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA)? Emerging research challenges long-held protocols, suggesting this go-to drug may not be the life-saver we assume it is—and could even cause harm. Host Bram Duffee, PhD, EMT-P, explores a groundbreaking study that could change how we manage these critical patients. This episode unpacks a February 2025 study in Prehospital Emergency Care that analyzed over 1,600 out-of-hospital trauma arrests. The findings were stark: epinephrine was linked to lower survival in blunt trauma and showed no clear benefit for penetrating injuries.

But a recent study on the use of 25% human serum albumin (HSA) in trauma care could change how responders approach these critical moments. The study was led by United States Army Scientist Alex Penn, Ph.D. The findings from his team suggest that this concentrated protein solution can stabilize blood pressure, reduce the need for additional fluids, and improve circulation in ways traditional methods cannot. For paramedics, this could mean a shelf-stable, easy-to-use solution that saves more...

Qualitative research often remains a mystery to those in medicine who are accustomed to the clear-cut, numerical results of quantitative studies. Yet, when it comes to understanding complex, human-centric issues, qualitative research is indispensable. Take the COVID-19 pandemic, for example—an event where numbers alone cannot fully capture the profound human experiences involved.
Unlike quantitative research, which answers yes or no questions or delivers numerical data, qualitative methods delve deeper into the human elements of a topic. One powerful approach is conducting interviews, especially when the interviewer shares a cultural or...
