It is usually a result of a blood clot in the leg (DVT) that broke loose and traveled into the lungs via circulation. About half the people who have pulmonary embolism do not show any symptoms, but clinical manifestations include shortness of breath, chest pain or coughing up blood. Treatment is aimed at breaking up the blood clots and preventing formation of new clots. The most important thing that can be done in the prehospital setting is to transport the patient to a hospital. As long as no reliable method is available of making a clinical diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) without diagnostic tests, treating PE in a meaningful way in the field will remain difficult. Emergency interventions are aimed at respiratory management and establishment of an IV line.

(from Listener David) Incidence of Heat-Related Sickness Rise in Oklahoma Health Care Reform Much Needed in Rural US Oklahoma Trooper Sued by Paramedic Canadian Workforce Affected by Pandemic ---------------------------------- Tip of the Week– CPAP for EMS Providers Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP)is a non-invasive procedure usually given in the prehospital setting aimed at improving the status of a patient with respiratory problems by reducing work of breathing. In some patients, it is used as an alternative for intubation. CPAP is usually given in conjunction with emergency medications such as nitrates, diuretics or bronchodilators depending on the respiratory problem the patient is having. Indications for CPAP are: CHF/Acute Pulmonary Edema Acute Respiratory Failure asthma/reactive airway disease, near drowning, COPD, acute pulmonary edema (cardiogenic and non cardiogenic) pneumonia Administration should start at lowest setting (0-2 cmH20) and titrated upward to 10 cmH2O. When providing CPAP, the paramedic should verbally calm the patient and provide coaching since it may induce anxiety. Complications that emergency medicine providers should anticipate include drop in blood pressure, pneumothorax, gastric distention and vomiting, and corneal drying. Contraindications to CPAP are: Unconscious, Unresponsive, or inability to protect airway. Inability to sit up Respiratory arrest or agonal respirations (Consider Intubation) Persistent nausea/vomiting Hypotension- Systolic Blood Pressure less than 90 mmHg Inability to obtain a good mask seal Pathologic Suspected Pneumothorax Shock associated with cardiac insufficiency Penetrating chest trauma Facial anomalies /trauma/burns Closed Head Injury Has active upper GI bleeding or history of recent gastric surgery Vomiting CPAP therapy should be given continuously to obtain maximum benefits. In the event that it should be discontinued, Intermittent Positive Pressure Ventilation or Endotracheal intubation should be considered.

In order to graduate from being an okay EMT or paramedic to becoming a great paramedic you need to go above and beyond. How far above and beyond? Actually, not all that far. This week, I'll discuss respiratory patients but you can apply these techniques to all of your patients. When we discuss good patient care, many of us assume that means the mechanics of taking care of a patient. Taking vital signs, doing a head to toe assessment, getting a good patient history, and so on. All of us need to be good at patient care basics but we also need to remember that our patients are more than just a collection of signs and symptoms and a disease that we treat. They also have hopes and fears, family members and friends, and they are people who hope that you will help them live to see more of all of those things. When you care for a patient, remember to care for the whole patient. Develop a list of good questions to ask when you have a patient to help take their mind off of their problems. You might have to carry some of the conversation for respiratory patients so be prepared to tell an appropriate funny story. Lightening the mood can do a lot to alleviate respiratory anxiety and decrease workload on the body's systems. Got a grandparent in the back of the unit, they all love to talk about their children and grandchildren. Ask them to tell you about their grand kids. That distraction can help reduce the level of distress. Use your skills as an EMT or paramedic, too, but remember that your patient has feelings. Don't be that provider who gives a neb, puts the patient on oxygen and then ignores them all the way to the hospital.

People who have ciguatera may experience nausea, vomiting, and neurologic symptoms such as tingling fingers or toes. They also may find that cold things feel hot and hot things feel cold. Ciguatera has no cure. Symptoms usually go away in days or weeks but can last for years. People who have ciguatera can be treated for their symptoms. Fish like barracuda, black grouper, blackfin snapper, cubera snapper, dog snapper, greater amberjack, hogfish, horse-eye jack, king mackerel, and yellowfin grouper have been known to carry ciguatoxins.

People who have ciguatera may experience nausea, vomiting, and neurologic symptoms such as tingling fingers or toes. They also may find that cold things feel hot and hot things feel cold. Ciguatera has no cure. Symptoms usually go away in days or weeks but can last for years. People who have ciguatera can be treated for their symptoms. Fish like barracuda, black grouper, blackfin snapper, cubera snapper, dog snapper, greater amberjack, hogfish, horse-eye jack, king mackerel, and yellowfin grouper have been known to carry ciguatoxins.

Each of these products represents a different part of the EMS industry and features different ways of innovating in the emergency medical services field. Amy Turley, inventor of the Turley Backboard pad is a paramedic herself and designed this product to be durable, field tough and long lasting while providing superior padding and pressure point protection to patients who are placed on a long backboard. Each pad rolls up to fit in a small space and they can be heated or cooled to assist with patient care in that way as well. Read the full review at the link above. The MyClyns personal protective spray and the ViralClyns mask system are both great ways to protect us in the field and give us some peace of mind, too. EMTs and paramedics can use the masks to protect themselves before an exposure and the MyClyns spray will provide some immediate treatment if you are exposed to a splash. The spray is antimicrobial and may be safely sprayed in the eyes, mouth, or in an open wound immediately post exposure to lessen chances of infection. While not taking the place of post exposure measures in your agency or hospital, it certainly provides some immediate peace of mind until you can get cleaned up. Finally, I'm really excited about the Lifepak 15's updates and improvements. Listen while I chat with Katie Liberto of Physio Control about the new monitor/defibrillator and she tells me about all the ways they've made even tougher and more durable than the Lifepak 12 and still pack in new features and monitoring capabilities. Great job from my personal favorites in the monitoring field. Welcome to Episode 167 The MedicCast is a proud member of the ProMed Podcast Network.

Previously, EMTs and paramedic students were required to first apply direct pressure, elevate the injured area, utilize arterial pressure points and then after all of those interventions failed, apply a tourniquet. New evidence collected in recent years from the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan have proven the effectiveness and safety of applying tourniquets earlier in the process. Now, the NREMT is testing EMTs and Paramedics to first apply direct pressure and if the bleeding doesn't stop, to move directly to application of the tourniquet. Previously, the fear of using a tourniquet centered around the thought that using a tourniquet on an extremity meant that the limb was lost and an amputation was certain simply because of the tourniquet application. That is now understood not to be the case. The muscle and bone tissues of the extremities may be revived as long as 5 to 6 hours later. Since few if any EMS agencies in the U.S. have a normal transport time greater than 5 hours, the tourniquet becomes a more appropriate action to take. Review your tourniquet rules using your own protocols along with the reference articles I have included below for all EMT and Paramedic personnel whether they are students or veteran providers. -- NREMT Exam Coordinator Documents (Skills Sheet PDFs) The Return of Tourniquets A Critical Shut-Off Valve Google Book Excerpt Describing Tourniquet Application ---------------------------- Rate the podcast at iTunes and help others find the MedicCast Visit the MedicCast EMS Study Aids Store Get the MedicCast Newsletter -- Sign up now -- it's free!

She suggested the topic for this week's episode and was gracious enough to come on the show live and share her thoughts about receiving radio patient information in the ER. Also, a thank you to Dr. Craig Corey for taking the time to write his thoughts down even though he couldn't be on the show live. Craig is the inventor of the OxyPhone pediatric nebulizer device. You'll find that and Dr. Corey's home page at OxyPhone.com. The central point brought out by both of these ER docs was that we must get to the point of the call quickly, focusing on the key problem, immediate life threats and interventions taken, time to the hospital, etc. and then let the ER ask any follow up questions. Vitals are important but not as important as patient's chief complaint and your impression of the stability of the patient. Ginger also stressed the importance of talking to the physician after the call to learn from what you saw or did during the transport to the hospital. She said that her respect for the EMT or paramedic rises significantly when they want to learn from the calls - good and bad. ---- Some other links: Study on protocols versus online medical control Online radio report outline ---------------------------------- Contact the MedicCast EMS Podcast: Comment or share ideas at the MedicCast Forums forums.mediccast.com Rate the podcast at iTunes and help others find the MedicCast Visit the MedicCast Store Get the MedicCast Newsletter -- Sign up now -- it's free!

I would also remind all of you that you can always get a lot of information on rare disorders from parents and caregivers of special needs patients. These people know a lot about what is going on. You possess emergency care knowledge. Put the two together and you can very effectively treat your patients. Be honest when you don't know about a particular disorder or disease and, who knows, you might learn something. NIH Medline on Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) ---------------------------------- Med of the Week-- Dermal Exposures with Lisa Booze from the Maryland Poison Center From the CDC: Household Chemicals and Carbon Monoxide Always read the label before using a product that may be poisonous. Keep chemical products in their original bottles or containers. Do not use food containers such as cups, bottles, or jars to store chemical products such as cleaning solutions or beauty products. Never mix household products together. For example, mixing bleach and ammonia can result in toxic gases. Wear protective clothing (gloves, long sleeves, long pants, socks, shoes) if you spray pesticides or other chemicals. Turn on the fan and open windows when using chemical products such as household cleaners.

Orthostatic vital signs, also known as tilt testing or postural vitals, is an assessment tool used to identify patients with a fluid volume deficit such as dehydration. It assesses the patient in multiple positions and tests the cardiovascular response to the changes in position after a short period of time (usually 1 to 2 minutes). Changes of greater than 20 mm Hg systolic in the blood pressure reading or greater than 10 to 20 BPM in the heart rate after a postural change may indicate that the person is low on fluids and may be a candidate for a fluid bolus.

Orthostatic vital signs, also known as tilt testing or postural vitals, is an assessment tool used to identify patients with a fluid volume deficit such as dehydration. It assesses the patient in multiple positions and tests the cardiovascular response to the changes in position after a short period of time (usually 1 to 2 minutes). Changes of greater than 20 mm Hg systolic in the blood pressure reading or greater than 10 to 20 BPM in the heart rate after a postural change may indicate that the person is low on fluids and may be a candidate for a fluid bolus. (Refer to your own protocols or to online medical control before administering such a bolus) Follow the links below for more on vital signs and orthostatic or tilt testing.

These EMTs and paramedics are college students who provide volunteer emergency medical services as first response units and transport units for their classmates at colleges and universities across the country. We were very pleased to have two representatives from the NCEMSF (National Collegiate EMS Foundation). NCEMSF President Dr. George J. Koenig, D.O. and Vice President Scott Savett, PhD both active responders in collegiate EMS during their undergraduate careers. Dr. Koenig is a trauma fellow at Johns Hopkins University Hospital and Dr. Savett is chemist and informatics implementation specialist in the pharmaceutical industry. We also had long time listeners David Cawston formerly of the University of Vermont response team and Woody Parker of St. Lawrence University EMS in upstate New York. We also had the pleasure of hosting several other collegiate EMS providers in the chatroom and on the phone lines during the show. We discussed confidentiality issues and HIPAA rules, common funding issues for these lightly funded organizations, interactions and training with surrounding services, and other current focuses of the NCEMSF and their member organizations. I urge all of you to listen to this episode with an ear towards how important it is to work with neighboring organizations in training, joint operations and emergency planning. These issues came up during the discussions on several occassions and don't just pertain to collegiate EMS. These problems are faced and affect all of us. ---------------------------------- Contact the MedicCast EMS Podcast: Comment or share ideas at the MedicCast Forums forums.mediccast.com Rate the podcast at iTunes and help others find the MedicCast Visit the MedicCast Store Get the MedicCast Newsletter -- Sign up now -- it's free!

This week, Lisa Booze of the Maryland Poison Center shares her knowledge of some of the common plants used by teens to create hallucinogenic effects. Among them is one named Jimsom Weed. Follow the link above to a full article on Jimsom Weed intoxication using the link above. Whatever the plant based culprit, it will fall to the EMS provider on the scene to use some detective skills during their patient assessment to determine what the specific patient presentation might be pointing to. Relay this information to the local poison center and your online medical control service to work out a treatment plan. Some items to look for in and around the patient's location: seeds stems flower petals leaves dried plant material baggies of plant or organic materials Treat any patient with an unknown cause of altered mental status with the basics first. Follow your ABCs to treat any obvious life threats first and then try to get what info you can from bystanders or family members (if not from the patient themselves). If the patient is conscious, attempt getting a history from them but try to do so once alone in the back of the ambulance without family or police units around.

This week, Lisa Booze of the Maryland Poison Center shares her knowledge of some of the common plants used by teens to create hallucinogenic effects. Among them is one named Jimsom Weed. Follow the link above to a full article on Jimsom Weed intoxication using the link above. Whatever the plant based culprit, it will fall to the EMS provider on the scene to use some detective skills during their patient assessment to determine what the specific patient presentation might be pointing to. Relay this information to the local poison center and your online medical control service to work out a treatment plan. Some items to look for in and around the patient's location: seeds stems flower petals leaves dried plant material baggies of plant or organic materials Treat any patient with an unknown cause of altered mental status with the basics first. Follow your ABCs to treat any obvious life threats first and then try to get what info you can from bystanders or family members (if not from the patient themselves). If the patient is conscious, attempt getting a history from them but try to do so once alone in the back of the ambulance without family or police units around. The North American contact number for poison control is 1-800-222-1222. ---------------------------------- Contact the MedicCast EMS Podcast: Comment or share ideas at the MedicCast Forums forums.mediccast.com Rate the podcast at iTunes and help others find the MedicCast Visit the MedicCast Store Get the MedicCast Newsletter -- Sign up now -- it's free!

There were so many great stories, fun acronyms and funny links that we had to split up the show into two parts.

EMS providers like EMTs and paramedics in the field must be aware of the fact that a patient's seizure might have been caused by an inadvertent or intentional over medication with the patient's own prescribed medications. Lisa Booze of the Maryland Poison Center offers here expert advice here about the challenges in identifying possible causes of drug induced seizures and what can be done by the provider in the field both in treatment and good history taking. In fact, getting a good history by the emergency medical technician or paramedic in the field is very important in cases of medication induced seizures since an emergency medical service provider's eyes may be the only ones to notice clues from the patient's home surroundings like medication containers. Lisa's advice for EMTs and paramedics is to bring suspicious medications with you, contact your poison control center at your earliest suspicion of a medication or drug induced incident, and treat your patients using your basic ABCs. -- Maryland Poison Center Link The Toxic Emergency Toxic Seizures Cases and Short Quiz 61 Diagnoses for Drug Induced Seizures ---------------------------------- Contact the MedicCast EMS Podcast: Comment or share ideas at the MedicCast Forums forums.mediccast.com Rate the podcast at iTunes and help others find the MedicCast Visit the MedicCast Store Get the MedicCast Newsletter -- Sign up now -- it's free!
