    AI in paramedicine

    Can a machine diagnose, triage, document a case, or show empathy? AI is everywhere and the pace of change makes it difficult to know when to stop and take stock. In this episode, we explain how AI works for clinicians, what the evidence shows, what the risks and benefits are in healthcare, and what it means for our clinical practice.    Disclaimer: While we did our best to ensure the content was accurate, we don’t script everything  and sometimes we do make mistakes.

    Paramedics DO diagnose: diagnostic safety with A/Professor Carmel Crock

    In this episode of Clinical Conversations, we're joined by Associate Professor Carmel Crock (Director of the Emergency Department at the Royal Victorian Eye and Ear Hospital and Chair of the Quality & Patient Safety Committee at the Australasian College of Emergency Medicine) to unpack what diagnosis is, how diagnostic error happens, and how we can make diagnosis safer. We explore common pitfalls like premature closure and diagnostic momentum, and practical ways to improve diagnostic safety.   Get in touch ⁠clinicalguidelines@ambulance.vic.gov.au⁠   Socials David: ⁠@expensivecare⁠ | @expensivecare.bsky.social | LinkedIn James: https://linktr.ee/ClinicalConversations Producer: Liam Hennebry

    Non-Invasive Ventilation (CPAP and BiPAP)

    In this episode of Clinical Conversations, James Oswald and Ambulance Victoria Medical Director Dr David Anderson unpack non-invasive ventilation (NIV) for prehospital care. They explain the key physiology (oxygenation vs ventilation), the practical difference between CPAP and BiPAP, and how this guides use in COPD, acute pulmonary oedema, COVID, asthma, and undifferentiated dyspnoea. The discussion also covers patient coaching, mask fit troubleshooting, essential monitoring, and how to recognise early success vs failure—including when to escalate and call for help.
