Air Methods Prehospital EDucation Podcast Ep 15: Caring for the Caregiver

What do you do when you receive a patient who is in critical cardiac condition after being in jail? Did they already have a heart disease that is getting worse? Or was it something they took? Or was it a prescribed medicine that they couldn't take? Regardless, it can be a struggle to find an answer.  At this point you better know your basics to keep the patient alive.  In this episode, the AMPED team is joined by flight nurse Chelsea Fehring to delve into another AMPED case that presents some unique and unexpected challenges.

Did you misread that title? Maybe you did and maybe you didn't. Emergency medicine requires our professionals to work from limited information and rely on instincts and assessment to diagnose and treat a patient. This usually leads our team down the right path, but sometimes leads them astray and takes them down the wrong clinical pathway for a patient. This episode takes the listener through these biases and discusses how to combat them, as we are joined by flight nurse, and host of The Q Word Podcast, Nyssa Hattaway.
