Prehospital Emergency Care Podcast - the NAEMSP PodcastEp. 157: Special Episode - Prehospital Management of Spinal Cord Injuries Happy Turkey Day! Join host Dr. Phil Moy as we dive straight into a topic that has "stirred up more conversation than a potluck dinner at an EMS station": the prehospital management of spinal injuries. We are here to highlight the critical manuscript "Prehospital Management of Spinal Cord Injuries, an NAEMSP Comprehensive Review and Analysis of the Literature", a pivotal document within the Prehospital Trauma Compendium. To discuss this hot topic, Dr. Moy welcomes two very special guests. First, we have Dr. John Gallagher, an emergency and EMS physician from Kona, Hawaii, and one of...

Prehospital Emergency Care Podcast - the NAEMSP PodcastEp. 155 Deep Dive: Adenosine Dosing in SVT - Is 12 the New 6? Welcome to the Prehospital Emergency Care Journal Podcast! In this PEC Podcast Deep Dive, Rebecca Cash and Maia Dorsett interview Dr. Tony Fernandez about his recent PEC paper comparing initial prehospital adenosine doses of 6 mg versus 12 mg for presumed SVT. We explore the study's origins, dataset design, and results—including the finding that starting with 12 mg was associated with higher rates of cardioversion and fewer redoses without an increase in complications. Along the way, we discuss the quirks of EMS data, why some "standard" practices exist without strong evidence, and how retrospective studies fi...

Prehospital Emergency Care Podcast - the NAEMSP PodcastEp. 154 Deep Dive: Hyperthermic Emergencies! Welcome to the Prehospital Emergency Care Journal Podcast! Today, we're tackling a critical and often deadly emergency seen at mass gatherings like music festivals: psychostimulant-induced hyperthermia (PIH). This condition carries high mortality rates, but what if early, aggressive intervention could dramatically improve outcomes? Join us as we discuss the paper, "Physician Directed Prehospital Treatment in Psychostimulant Induced Hyperthermia: A Case Series," with one of its lead authors, Dr. Dorothy Habrat. Dr. Habrat will share insights into their physician-directed prehospital guideline, which integrates on-scene sedation, intubation, and rapid ice-water submersion for severe...

Prehospital Emergency Care PodcastEpisode 151 Deep Dive: Decoding Pediatric Asthma in EMS Data Today, host Rachel Stemerman sits down with two authors of a groundbreaking paper: Ira Harmon and Jennifer Fishe. Their research tackles a significant challenge in emergency medical services: accurately identifying prehospital pediatric asthma exacerbations from complex EMS data. Asthma exacerbations are a common reason for pediatric EMS encounters. Accurately identifying these encounters is crucial for research and quality improvement in prehospital care. However, the nature of asthma symptoms and EMS data makes this difficult. In this episode, Ira and Jennifer will discuss their study, which focused on developing computable phenotypes (CPs) – reusable computer que...
