Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep. 39: Don't Let the Perfect Be the Enemy of the Good
Any pediatric case comes with a higher degree of tension due to a variety of factors including compensatory responses to distress leading to a precarious "cliff" when those compensatory efforts cease. When our team is dispatched to a 5 year-old child struggling to breathe, yet still shows strong vital signs, how will the AMPED team respond? This episode discusses at great length understanding that even though we should strive for perfection in every action we take, sometimes "good" is good enough because recovery is a long road and there are skilled and caring teams awaiting us when we hand off our patients.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 38: Going the Distance No Matter What
By necessity, our teams are dispatched to most extreme, most rare, most complex, and sometimes most hopeless-seeming cases any patient could ever experience. It would be easy to look at certain cases - like say, a man whose legs are stuck in a concrete augur on a precarious platform with injuries that are intermingled and devastating - and assess that he's not going to make it. Our Air Methods team uses creativity, determination, skill and compassion to exhaust every possible method to help our patients achieve even the slimmest possibility of survival. This month's story is one such story of going the distance no matter what.

When an infant patient faces seemingly insurmountable odds over the course of several hours, one of our clinicians suffers a mental health breakdown over the ensuing shifts, days and weeks. Thankfully her team recognized changes in her behavior and mood and offered abundant help. This episode covers not only the case involving the infant patient, but the aftermath and care for our clinicians.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 36: Sometimes the Solution Is Obscure
Our profession requires extensive and exhaustive training. Much of it can seem esoteric and possibly unnecessary at the time, but we train on all of these things for a reason. When our team comes upon a severely burned patient, they extent of the burns causes a melange of difficulties. Could an obscure, and rarely used, procedure ultimately help and provide the patient more time? The AMPED team discusses this little-used technique and we discuss the importance of remaining familiar with the abundance of techniques and treatments we learn during our training.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 35: Hope Is a Good Thing...
As first responders, the odds of patient survival are not always in our favor. But that does not stop us from working quickly to provide the highest level of care for the chances of defying those odds. In this episode, a 10 year-old boy wrecks on his bicycle, a fairly common occurrence and one that rarely requires air transport, yet when our team arrives on scene, his vitals crash in front of their very eyes. What's going on? And what actions do they take to save his life? An inspirational, harrowing and odds-defying episode of AMPED awaits you this holiday season.

Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 34: Don't Be a Canary
Things are not as they seem on this month's episode of AMPED. Our team arrives on scene to find first responders dealing with a chemical burn and administering CPR. But something is amiss. This episode is a stark reminder that no matter the time of day, no matter the other circumstances, our role as clinicians is to stay vigilant in our analysis and always to assess every aspect of the situation thoroughly.

Customer Reviews
Great Podcast!
I throughly enjoy listening to the AMPED podcast. I previously worked ground EMS, and now work for a neo/peds transport team. This podcast provides great case review, and allows listeners to critically think their way through the case as well. It offers a fantastic multi-disciplinary approach with the crew, medical directors, and logistical perspective. Keep up the good work!
Very well put together and thought out!
Love the case scenarios and the step by step thought process that is laid out. Very easy to listen to and absorb the information. Love the recaps at each portion. Please keep doing these. More please!
Sad
Episode 35 has no mention of the excellent work the fire crew did on scene and prior to the helicopter’s arrival. A cardiac arrest save is a team effort and the flight crew failed to acknowledge the other half of the pre hospital team. Sad.
Do better, Mercy Air.
