When NAEMSP put out a position statement on pelvic binders last year and found no quality evidence of benefit, one of the most consistent points of feedback was the lack of recognition of pain control as a benefit. I tried to pin down Dr. Morshedi on this disconnect, and he gives some insight on what we have to understand on position statements beyond the conclusion of an abstract, and how medical directors need to film this education gap when these statements are released.

Dr. Brandon Morshedi and I discuss the emergence of the online social media educator/influencer, and where the medical directors are in the clarification of this information.

New Episode Alert!

Dr. Brandon Morshedi is a humble, unassuming physician and medical director who is in a significant position of influence, both locally and nationally. He is also ahead of the curve as far as keeping up with educational trends and harnessing the power of those trends keep providers invested in that education. We discuss his position on the National Association OF EMS Physicians, recent positions NAEMSP has taken on subject like pelvic binders and spinal immobilization, the rise of the social media educator, and how that impacts EMS education.

This was an interesting study that looked at the outcomes of patients before and after services implemented mechanical CPR, and a large control group was utilized to ground the answer in national trends. No surprise in the outcomes, but some of the most important questions regarding the comparison of resuscitation with and without mCPR still have yet to be answered.

I'm Hiking in New Mexico today, so let's get an interesting repost out there about water allergies (Which is probably not an allergy to H20).

There is a common misconception that Albuterol is Beta-2 SPECIFIC. Albuterol is Beta-2 SELECTIVE, and the effects that Albuterol have in heart rate and other cardiac properties are well documented.

While there are certainly "all hands in deck" situations that arise in pursuing resolution of problems and handling discipline, the amount of people someone involves in these matters is inversely proportional to their effectiveness at managing them, with the likelihood of questionable goals in resolution of problems and handling discipline being directly proportional to the amount of people they involve.
