NEW NAME! The podcast gets a new name, find out what and why... 3:48

25 gün önce3:48

3:48

Hello everyone, we have an exciting announcement. Today we are announcing our brand new name: Loud & Clear: EMS Guiding Principles. My name is Ross, and alongside my co-host, Will, we're thrilled to present this fresh chapter in our podcast journey. Let's start with why we're rebranding and renaming. For close to five years now, we've been bringing you valuable continuing education through our podcast, originally named EMS Cast. Each year we have become more and more dedicated to our mission. However, as time passed, it became clear that our name didn't quite capture the essence of what we stand for—our mission or our identity as educators in the EMS field. Will and I devoted significant effort into clarifying our mission this last year. Determining how we could create a framework to help you navigate the inevitable uncertainties in EMS, to put an emphasis on what truly and what principles will guide you through the uncertainty. This framework is going to allow us to bring you even better content with clearer messaging. We wanted a name that resonates with our commitment to provide in-depth discussions that extend beyond paramedic school learning but yet never loses sight of the fundamentals and guiding principles that actually matter. After months of brainstorming and reflection, Loud & Clear: EMS Guiding Principles felt like the perfect match—an embodiment of our dedication to make every lesson resonate strongly and clearly with you, the listener. In the world of EMS, ‘loud and clear’ is a phrase many of us know very well, whether you’re checking in with dispatch over the radio at the start of your shift or confirming the receiving hospital can clearly understand you. It signifies that there is clarity and understanding in the message that is received. We aim to bring this clarity to every topic we discuss. Reinforcing our commitment to delivering information that is easy to comprehend and apply in real-life EMS situations, even when uncertainty abounds. While our name may have changed and our episode framework has evolved, our mission has not. We will continue to provide high level education, seeking to teach you principles that enrich your knowledge beyond the textbooks you read in paramedic school, preparing you for the unexpected scenarios you’ll face in the field. You won’t find cookie-cutter approaches here—we’re dedicated to helping you understand and fall back on an understanding of fundamental principles that allow you to navigate the uncertainty and chaos with confidence. Each episode of Loud & Clear will present high-level discussions about pathophysiology and treatment options. But more than that, every episode will guide you back to those time-tested EMS principles crucial for effective decision-making. This year promises ever more engaging content rich episodes, with an updated name, cover art, social media presence, and more as we embrace this exciting transition. We can't wait to embark on this new journey with you, our dedicated listeners. Thank you for your support and enthusiasm. Remember—we’re here to ensure your learning experience is loud and clear.…

Syncope is a symptom, not a diagnosis. Often it's a symptom of a benign etiology but it can indicate a life-threatening condition. So how do we distinguish between the two?

Trailer - Loud & Clear: EMS Guiding Principles 2:44

11 weeks önce2:44

You’ve looked at other paramedic continuing education resources but it’s the same basic material they taught you in school. There’s more you need to know, or you might miss something, someone might get hurt, or worse someone might die. You don’t feel ready. Your goal is to control the chaos. To become an expert in the field of prehospital medicine. And this is all driven by the desire to be there for someone on the worst day of their life. To change an outcome that would have otherwise been catastrophic if you weren’t there. There’s no resource for the practicing paramedic to plug the holes that were left behind by paramedic school. Everything seems stuck in basic algorithms of “A” then “do B” but what do you do when "A” wasn’t in the book. We need to get away from the algorithmic thinking and instead shift to understanding the principles behind WHY if A then B. The truth is, you can’t learn it all. Emergency Medicine includes too many pathologies and 911 calls are too unique and chaotic to know the answer to every situation. Instead of trying to learn every answer to every call, you need guiding principles for your knowledge to stand on. If you build these principles they become the foundation for every call no matter the complaint, for every situation, no matter the chaos surrounding you. If you have the foundation you can be stable when the storm comes. You can know when to push forward or when to change course. And then each additional piece of advanced content that you learn can be added to that foundation to build on, because mastery is not a destination, it’s a journey and the journey never ends. We are your hosts, Ross Orpet & Will Berry and this is EMS Cast. Come on this journey with us to mastering emergency medicine. We will cover topics in more depth than you learned in paramedic school, we will teach one step further and talk about what will happen to that patient in the Emergency Department after you drop them off. And we will connect all of this back to the principles that will guide you not just on this call but on all the calls. These principles will allow you to answer the question, at the end of the day, what’s really important to me, the paramedic, in the field, in that moment. You may not feel ready, you may not feel like you know enough, but you can understand the principles and that will make all the difference. Because what you do matters.…
