Paramedic training is over, you’re in the front seat now. Whether day 1 or day 1,000 you can’t shake the fear you’re underprepared. You were taught to systematically decide if A... do B. But what if “A” wasn’t in the book? The truth is each emergency call is too unique to teach the right response to every situation. We need to go beyond algorithmic thinking and understand deeper principles, the WHY behind the algorithm. When every decision counts you want to rely on a framework that will guide you when things don’t make sense. EMS cast is your resource to build that framework. Through discussions with experts, review of evidence-based best practices, and real-world case studies we teach you one step past what you learned in paramedic school. But all of this advanced education is connected back to the guiding principles that answer the question- “at the end of the day, what actually matters to the patient I have in front of me?” Our mission is to elevate your practice and help you improve patient outcomes in every emergency situation. You may not feel ready, you may not feel like you know enough, but by understanding the guiding principles of emergency medicine you can become an expert EMS clinician. Because what you do matters.

Which comes first epinephrine or airway? Out of hospital cardiac arrests involve critical and often complex decisions with sequence and timing of various procedure. What should you prioritize? We examine the nuances of advanced interventions, such as epinephrine and advanced airway placement, through the lens of recent studies, including a notable piece of research published recently in JAMA Network Open. Take a deep dive into the practicalities and philosophies that underpin prehospital cardiac arrest management, emphasizing the significance of basic life support skills and the role of advanced techniques in the pre-hospital setting. This episode engages, educates, and challenges EMS providers on the best practices that could potentially save lives during those critical first minutes of a cardiac emergency.
