  1. TRAPPED IN FLESH: Respiratory Failure in Obese Patients

    4. FEB.

    TRAPPED IN FLESH: Respiratory Failure in Obese Patients

    Join Eric Bauer and Dr. Mike Lauria as they dissect two challenging critical care transport cases centered on managing respiratory failure in obese and morbidly obese patients. Get ready for a deep dive into advanced physiological concepts, practical tips for troubleshooting ventilator settings, and real-world lessons you can apply to patient care right away. From recognizing unique challenges in the obese population to fine-tuning pressures and understanding how to balance protective ventilation with the realities of chest wall resistance, this episode offers clear, expert-level insights delivered in an approachable way. Key Takeaways Appreciating that obesity significantly reduces functional residual capacity, requiring thoughtful increases in ventilatory pressures.Using waveform analysis, plateau pressures, and driving pressures to differentiate between obstructive and restrictive components, especially when chronic illnesses overlap with acute processes.Strategic positioning such as ramping or partial proning can be employed to recruit lung volume and improve oxygenation.Recognizing that some patients will need alarm limits and inspiratory pressures far beyond standard protocols—especially when chest wall resistance is extremely high.Incorporating a systematic approach, including incremental changes and close monitoring, rather than relying on one-size-fits-all protocols.Leveraging collaborative practice and direct medical oversight to fine-tune treatment in the face of complex physiology.The FlightBridgeED Podcast has been your go-to resource for critical care, EMS, and emergency medicine education since 2012.

    MDCAST - Obstetric Critical Care Transport Series - Preterm Labor

    In this episode of the FlightBridgeED MDCAST Podcast, Dr. Michael Lauria and Dr. Elizabeth Garchar delve into a vital topic for EMS and critical care: managing preterm labor in transport. They tackle the complexities of diagnosing preterm labor, the nuances of patient risk factors, and the pillars of effective preterm care. Discover how understanding these principles can make a profound difference for both mother and baby, especially when timely, evidence-based intervention is crucial. This is an essential listen for any paramedic, nurse, or medical professional seeking to deepen their knowledge in obstetric critical care and improve their hands-on approach. Listen on your preferred podcast platform or directly from our website at flightbridgeed.com/fbe-podcast. While you’re there, explore our award-winning courses crafted for your continuing education in critical care and emergency medicine. Key Takeaways: Recognize the four pillars of preterm labor management: transport to the appropriate facility, antibiotic administration, antenatal steroids, and magnesium for neuroprotection (before 32 weeks).To prevent neonatal complications, maintain close monitoring during transport and prioritize fetal head control in the event of precipitous delivery.Understanding preterm labor risk factors—such as infection, smoking, limited access to care, and history of preterm births—can help guide critical care decisions.Tocolytic options like calcium channel blockers or beta sympathomimetics are helpful for delaying delivery short-term but require careful consideration of contraindications.The preterm infant’s immediate needs at birth include delayed cord clamping and potential neonatal resuscitation, underscoring the importance of being prepared for rapid response.

    The Bleeding Edge: Finger Thoracostomy in the Field

    Join us for another captivating episode of The FlightBridgeED MDCAST as Dr. Michael Lauria explores trauma medicine's most critical and evolving skill: the finger thoracostomy. Featuring special guest Dr. Bryce Taylor, a seasoned emergency physician, and flight medicine fellow currently doing a retrieval medicine fellowship at the University of Wisconsin Med Flight. This episode takes a deep dive into the nuances of trauma-induced tension pneumothorax and the art of rapid chest decompression in the field. They cover everything from recognizing life-threatening tension physiology to deciding between a needle decompression and a finger thoracostomy and the evolving prehospital protocols that could save lives. Dr. Taylor shares insights on resuscitative ultrasound, operational challenges, and why empirical chest decompression may be the next standard of care for flight and EMS crews. Whether you’re a seasoned critical care provider or new to trauma medicine, this discussion will leave you better equipped to handle the unpredictable.

While there, explore our award-winning courses designed to elevate your critical care knowledge and professional practice. TAKEAWAYS Understanding the difference between tension pneumothorax and regular pneumothorax is crucial in trauma care.Ultrasound can be a valuable tool for identifying pneumothorax in trauma patients.The choice between needle decompression and finger thoracostomy depends on the clinical scenario and the availability of a sterile environment.Proper identification of landmarks is essential for successful finger thoracostomy.Chest tube placement may be appropriate in a controlled environment with access to sterile equipment. Finger thoracostomy is a crucial intervention in the pre-hospital setting for trauma patients with chest injuries and hemodynamic compromise.Training and education for nurse medics in performing finger thoracostomy are essential for safe and effective implementation.The safety and efficacy of finger thoracostomy in the pre-hospital setting make it a valuable skill for managing trauma patients in critical care transport.The decision to perform a finger thoracostomy should be guided by the presence of hemodynamic compromise and the need for timely intervention in trauma patients with chest injuries.The use of finger thoracostomy as an empiric decompression in polytrauma patients with suspected tension pneumothorax is reasonable and can be performed in parallel with other resuscitative measures.
