    Recently, some paramedics, obstetricians, and EMS medical directors were locked in a room and produced some fantastic collaborative prehospital guidelines for managing post-partum hemorrhage, eclampsia, and pre-eclampsia. Have a listen, take a look at the guidelines (links below), and we'll all take better care of our pregnant/post-partum patients.

    Episode 187 - EMS Airway Updates 2025 - Part 1
    Nov 3 2025
    There are always airway management questions floating around the Department of Clinical Services here at MCHD. "Why don't we intubate our cardiac arrest patients like we used to?" "MCHD has been hyper-focused on recording video laryngoscopy over the past year. Why?" Join the podcast crew to discuss recent EMS airway literature that helps us answer these questions and provides invaluable tips. This is part one of a two-part series. REFERENCES 1.

    Episode 186 - A Paramedic's Guide To The Opiate Epidemic
    Oct 6 2025
    We're lucky to have a special guest on this podcast episode to discuss a topic that, unfortunately, all of us in emergency care encounter all too frequently: the opiate epidemic. Peter Canning is a paramedic who has lived through the epidemic while working on the ambulance in the New England epicenter. This discussion navigates Peter's progression through newer terminology like stigma and harm reduction in an effort to provide compassionate and best-practice care for our OUD patients.
