Also, make sure you listen until the end where we discuss what has now been named the CME Collective. The CME Collective is a growing community of podcasts and blogs which are and will always be 100% free to read or listen to, but now you can now get CEU/CEH credit for by taking a test and paying a small fee. Best of all the fee goes to support all the amazing programs that ECHO has.

As with everything we do at ECHO we do It a little different then and always with our mission of providing affordable training the person doing the job every day. We see this as a way to shake up the landscape of continuing education and allow those that were not able to travel to our conferences to take advantage of the world-class education and get some credit for it.

ECHONooga Rewind: Dantrolene and Hemodynamics Dec 17, 2018

Show notes

Today's episode comes from our 2018 Annual Conference ECHONooga and features 2 talks.

Talk 1:

Flight Paramedic Joey Loehner presents his talk entitled: Hyperthermia, Excited Delirium, and Dantrolene - A Rave New Treatment

Joey will provide a brief overview of common party/rave drugs, the effect they have on users, and types of patients we treat at our large music festivals (150,000 attendees). This will be followed by how/why we treat the way we do, evidence to support our treatment modalities, and how to effectively transport these patients. We will then discuss what can be done by Flight Crew to maximize the benefits of these treatments in the transport environment.

Talk 2:

Flight Paramedic and Life Force Air Medical Base Educator Joshua Piotrowski presents his talk entitled: Under Pressure

After this lecture, you will have a different respect for the venous system and understand the fine balance needed between vasopressors and fluid resuscitation to return the body to a more normalized state. We need to change our perception of the heart to realize that it does not dictate the amount of blood pumped into circulation. It is our goal to put some more balanced tools in your toolbox for treating hemodynamically unstable patients.
