This week we're talking about the logistics of properly prepping our mechanically vented patients for transport.

This first part is a look into the ED care of a 50's female with subarachnoid hemorrhage following a ruptured aneurysm. These are incredibly dynamic patient's and give way for many different treatment modalities. Let me know what you think and be on the lookout for Part II in a few days (that's the part where the patient starts to give you a mental and logistical workout).  #HEMS #FOAMed #air...

Hey everyone! In this episode we'll be covering part II of the ABG Q&A session. Three questions seem to always come up anytime I'm teaching ABG's: how to compensate for the respiratory rate on a vented patient, when to start bicarb, and finally how to predict changes to pH when you make changes to your patient. Hope you enjoy. #HEMS #FOAMed #criticalcare #airmedical #phiairmedical #kisercpr #f...

Hey everyone! In this part one of our ABG Q&A session, I'll be covering what the actual blood gas is, what pH is really measuring, and how to read those pesky ABG's the right way! I have a couple of listener questions that I'll be addressing in Part II, but this is definitely the foundational episode!
