    Episode 54 – NAEMSP Research Part I
    Feb 28 2022
    NAEMSP in Sunny San Diego… Just. SO. MUCH. GREAT. RESEARCH. Dr. Jarvis interviewed a small sample of the great work presented. There was so much we broke it into two parts. This episode features interviews with Dr. Amber Rice from Tucson, Arizona discussing a secondary analysis of the EPIC trial looking further into the impact of hypotension on TBI, Dr. Veer Vithalani from MedStar in Fort Worth, TX discussing how he used his CAD and ePCR data to determine which calls could safely get a BLS response, Dr. Erin Lincoln from Austin discussing her work on disparities in analgesia, and Dr. Henry Wang on his latest secondary analysis of the PART trial, this one looking at the impact of airway type (LT or ET) on ventilatory rates.

    Are you still giving Calcium in undifferentiated cardiac arrests? Not those with hyperkalemia or hypocalcemia… you know, when it’s actually indicated. Be honest, now… Nobody’s looking.

    Episode 52 – The BOUGIE Trial
    Jan 4 2022
    Do you even bougie, bro? Do you use the bougie on every intubation? If so, why? Do you think it improves first pass success? Well, I certainly did. At least before this trial was released. Join me to discuss this randomized controlled trial of bougie vs no bougie for intubation. I suspect the results will surprise you!

    Episode 50 – PCRF Research Abstracts from EMS Expo – Part I
    Nov 4 2021
    Dr. Jarvis and Mike Verkest were at EMS Expo in Atlanta. We recorded some interviews from the FlightbridgeED booth on the exhibit floor and then discussed them when Mike stopped by the Casa Jarvis in Austin a bit later. There was so much goodness, we broke it up into two different episodes to keep these at a reasonable length.

  • Episode 49 – The RACKED Trial, with Dr. Barbic

    Episode 49 – The RACKED Trial, with Dr. Barbic
    Oct 15 2021
    Ketamine has been getting a lot of attention recently in the media. Its probably safe to say it’s had a bad year. We like ketamine. We felt bad it’s been having a rough year so we wanted to do something that would lift its spirits. Fortunately, Dr. David Barbic and his colleagues from Vancouver, BC published a wonderful, randomized trial comparing ketamine to a combination of haloperidol plus midazolam for undifferentiated agitation in the ED. This was the amazingly titled RACKED trial (Rapid Agitation Control with Ketamine in the ED). It has direct and important implications for EMS and is something all emergency providers should know about. Dr. Jarvis reviews the trial and then invites Dr. Barbic himself on the show to discuss this study.

  • Episode 47 – ETI Attempts and Outcomes in Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest

    Episode 47 – ETI Attempts and Outcomes in Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest
    Aug 27 2021
    In this episode, Dr. Jarvis discusses a paper that is hot off the presses and that he’s super excited to talk about. The good folks up in Seattle, WA and the Seattle FD looked at their cardiac arrest survival rates as a function of the number of intubation attempts needed to secure the airway. Results from this trial might help explain the 2.9% improved survival with King LT vs ETI that we saw in the PART trial. Join us to hear all the juicy details.
