We delve into the high-stakes world of postpartum hemorrhage management with the esteemed Dr. Maria Moreira. Joins us to demystify the management of postpartum hemorrhage in the pre-hospital setting. Dr. Moreira presents a systematic approach to intervention. Learn about the four T's of postpartum hemorrhage and on-field strategies like tranexamic acid and uterotonic administration. Dr. Moreira guides us through a concise roadmap for effective pre-hospital care. Tune in for critical insights and be prepared for any obstetric emergency!

In this episode Dr. Maria Moreira joins us to talk us through prehospital pregnancy difficult deliveries. We'll discuss how to handle nuchal cords, cord prolapse, breech presentations, and shoulder dystocias.

Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation. Non-invasive positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) is a therapy that has revolutionized emergency medicine. NIPPV, also known as non-invasive ventilation, BiPAP (Bi-Level Positive […]

Hemorrhagic shock, characterized by a significant loss of blood volume, characterized by end organ dysfunction as the result of inadequate tissue profusion. It is a life-threatening medical emergency that requires rapid assessment and intervention. Timely recognition of its severity and continuous monitoring of the patient's condition are paramount to guide appropriate treatment strategies. One valuable emerging tool in this critical setting is the measurement of end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) levels. ETCO2 monitoring provides crucial information about a patient's cardiovascular status and can aid healthcare providers in making informed decisions for resuscitation and management. In this article, we will explore the role of ETCO2 in the context of hemorrhagic shock and review some of Dr. Eric Campion's research in this field.

Dr. Spencer Tomberg, a physician in the Department of Emergency Medicine and Orthopedics at Denver Health, discusses pain management and the complex nature of pain perception, highlighting the physical and emotional components. He describes how individuals may have different perceptions of pain due to variations in the action potential and synaptic regions. He dives into the etiology and routes of pain signals from the visceral system and how that contributes to referred pain. He also discusses the differences in treatment when approaching acute, subacute, and chronic pain. Ultimately, it's important to consider the individuality of pain experiences when treating patients and not take a one size fits all approach.

In the high-stakes world of emergency medicine, innovations continually push the boundaries of what's possible. One such groundbreaking procedure is Resuscitative Endovascular Balloon Occlusion of the Aorta (REBOA). Dr. Ernest E Moore, who has literally written the book on trauma surgery, teaches us what REBOA is and how it is being used to save lives in critical situations. Another lecture from the Rocky Mountain Trauma and Emergency Medicine Conference.
