    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.

    Clinical Conversations: Medical Director Live Q&A

    In our first ever live episode of Clinical Conversations, James Oswald (CPG specialist and paramedic) is joined by Ambulance Victoria Medical Director Dr David Anderson for an end-of-year Q&A on the latest CPG updates. We work through staff questions on the “why” behind key changes—including respiratory care and oxygen targets, NIV expansion and mask issues, airway and RSI updates (including crash induction and consultation for single-responder MICA), and several medication updates such as magnesium compatibility, levetiracetam after midazolam, IV GTN in APO, and opioid choice and multimodal analgesia. They also cover practical operational issues like VVED wait times and what to do when access delays are affecting crews.
