    From Non‑Transport Care to AI‑Enabled Territorial Medicine

    JEMS Development Editor Mike Brown speaks with Dr. Simon Grosjean about shifting EMS from “prehospital transport” toward “territorial medicine.” They unpack alternative transport/non‑conveyance, physician response units, and why many low‑acuity calls may be better managed outside the ED. The conversation contrasts systems across Europe and the UK, highlights gaps in data collection, and exposes practical barriers—staff shortages, fractured clinical records, and reimbursement models—that stop promising approaches from scaling. They also explore where technology and AI can help: rapid chart summarization, context‑aware decision support, microlearning for clinicians, and automated handoffs to primary care.   Quick favor: take our 3-minute (anonymous) listener survey to help shape what we cover next: https://sprw.io/stt-lfjMN

    Humility and Hazmat at the Firehouse Table

    Firefighter Jake Ryks joins the Just a Little Salt podcast to dismantle the "hero" archetype often taught in fire science programs. He reflects on his early career, admitting he’s actually less confident now than as a rookie because he finally understands the sheer depth of the profession.   The conversation shifts to the unique culture of the fire service, specifically the "sacred" firehouse table where rankings vanish and conflicts are settled in-house rather than through a formal chain of command. Jake also dives into the misunderstood world of Hazmat, demystifying it as a discipline of basic chemistry rather than a horror movie. From sampling jars of menstrual blood at government protests to discussing the "Hazmat Guys" podcast network, this episode offers a grounded look at the reality of special operations and the importance of sharing knowledge to elevate the entire crew.   Quick favor: take our 3-minute (anonymous) listener survey to help shape what we cover next: https://sprw.io/stt-lfjMN

    Rethinking Calcium Use in Trauma Resuscitation

    JEMS Development Editor Mike Brown sits down with Dr. Stacy Shackelford, a coauthor of a new JAMA Network Open paper, to unpack findings about calcium abnormalities in trauma patients. The authors tracked a cohort of 1,270 trauma patients arriving at three level I trauma centers and found that 22% presented with hypocalcemia and 5% with hypercalcemia. Early mortality varied significantly by calcium status: 11.9% among hypocalcemic patients, 4.3% among eucalcemic patients, and 22.8% among hypercalcemic patients. Although hypercalcemia was less common than hypocalcemia, it was associated with substantially worse early mortality, suggesting the need for further research into the underlying mechanisms.

    Humanizing Paramedicine

    Paramedic, educator and consultant John Todaro joins Eric Chase to trace a 49-year career at the intersection of prehospital care, nursing, and public health. Todaro argues for degree-based education for paramedics, emphasizes soft skills—communication, empathy and cultural awareness—and explains how broader clinical training strengthens judgment and the patient narrative. He examines professional tensions between nursing and EMS, advocates collaborative roles instead of hierarchical oversight, and offers organizational culture and work-life balance strategies to reduce burnout and moral injury. Through a vivid helicopter rescue—holding a young trauma patient’s hand and later being recognized by that child—Todaro shows why human connection matters as much as clinical skill.

    Building Resilience in Emergency Managers

    Jennifer Pearsall joins the Not a-Fib Podcast to share insights from her Naval Postgraduate School thesis on the strengths that can emerge in emergency managers after life‑changing events. We explore her career across local and federal emergency management, the contrasts she encountered along the way, and the experiences that inspired her to create EM Wellness and define its mission. She reflects on her time at the Naval Postgraduate School, and we dive deep into the core findings of her thesis. Our conversation covers the types of transformative events that can lead to post‑traumatic growth, the conditions that make that growth possible, and the personal and organizational factors that either support or hinder it.

    Inside the First Responder Wellness Debate

    In this episode of Just a Little Salt, Cody Spaulding talks with Jon Vought, a firefighter and the owner of Rescue 1 CBD, to break down what CBD actually is and why it’s become a serious topic in the fire service. Jon explains the difference between hemp and marijuana, how cannabinoids interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system, and what the research says about CBD’s impact on inflammation, sleep quality, mood, and anxiety. They also get into the biggest concern most firefighters have: drug testing. John shares details from a university-backed study involving the University of Arcadia and the University of Maryland, including how urine samples were tested under strict lab conditions for THC.

    Pushing the Clinical Edge in Respiratory Care

    Respiratory crises in the field rarely fit textbook categories. JEMS Development Editor Mike Brown talks with Hamilton Medical’s Jesse Carroll to separate Type 1 (hypoxemic) from Type 2 (hypercapnic) respiratory failure and recognize the mixed presentations clinicians actually see. They walk through practical cues (SpO2 trends vs end‑tidal CO2), common causes (CHF, COPD, obesity, neuromuscular weakness), and epidemiology: roughly 360,000 prehospital respiratory calls annually with 41% involving COPD and obesity rates rising from 32% to about 60% since 1988. Jesse explains why pressure, flow and volume, not oxygen alone, drive meaningful physiologic change, how device limitations (disposable CPAP, pneumatic and turbine systems) affect flow delivery, and when early noninvasive strategies can buy time or prevent intubation.

    Get Resus Ready

    JEMS Development Editor Mike Brown sits down with Jonathan Epstein, who leads the American Red Cross healthcare product management team, to unpack the Red Cross’s new Resuscitation Suite. Jonathan explains how the suite reimagines BLS, ALS and pediatric/neonatal resuscitation with EMS-first blended learning, a “practice as you perform” approach that embeds local protocols and integrated cognitive aids, including a digital app with step-by-step algorithms and clinical decision support. They discuss adaptive learning and computer-adaptive testing that shrink classroom time, an upcoming VR pathway that delivers team-based practice and certification, and realistic expectations for AI, dual sequential defibrillation and mechanical CPR. Ventilation, measurement and device design are highlighted as targets for education and engineering solutions.
